Summary
During quiet moments of introspection, when he thought in pictures and memories rather than words, Big Boss became the earthquake, the tsunami, the typhoon, and the ever dormant, gracious volcano he used to grow up with; majestic, inspiring. Always present, always expected, a looming threat never forgotten, but also one you learned to live with and prepare yourself for. A practiced routine that still didn't reduce the damage, or fear experienced when a catastrophe occured: the trick was to keep breathing while accepting your fate as a prisoner to the whims of nature, shikata ga nai, they always said, it cannot be helped.
And when Japan lost not to nature, after withstanding its forces for so many centuries, but to man, he made the decision that he was going to be a victim no longer, and left to find the strength that was rightfully his to claim.
