*After Snake had helped Calhoun clean up the mess, it seemed natural to want to go to Heiji, someone who clearly had knowledge of police procedures, to figure things out. Except.*
*Except in the sobering light of a new day, Snake knew he'd made some poor choices. He wasn't going to apologize for them because they honestly did have to try something to appease Calhoun and they did get an answer that helped him know what exactly he needed. However, in doing so he'd abused part of the trust put in him by someone who had clearly stated he wanted no part in Snake getting himself injured.*
*Did he still have a friend? Snake wasn't sure. In light of the death of someone, it wasn't that important. But it was important in another way, if he could help find out who killed Akiko or if he needed to step away and let other people handle it.* Hello, Heiji.
