Sometimes I think about Kaz’s final moments, and when Ocelot eventually goes to kill him, he comes and kneels down beside Kaz while he’s struggling and just gathers him up in his arms and holds him while he dies, maybe strokes his hair and apologises for how things turned out, like, “I’m truly sorry this happened to you, it didn’t have to be this way, I wish we could have been friends” and he’s just super gentle and remorseful and sweet and tries to make Kaz comfortable in his last moments but then he asks Kaz if he has any last words he’d like to say to Big Boss and Kaz just spits blood in Ocelot’s face and uses his last breath to say that BB can still go to hell because Kaz is still really pissed. And not even about BB abandoning him all those years ago, but because he’s hurt that BB couldn’t even keep his fucking promise to be Kaz’s kaishaku and that’s yet another thing BB abandoned him on. Kaz had always secretly fantasized that it would be BB to finally kill him and he couldn’t even be allowed that honour. So he ensures that his last breath is spent confirming he still has nothing but contempt for BB.
