06. 7 child.
"My name is Laura. But I want you to call me by the name of a night owl during this mission "
"Suggestions are remembered."
Lily approached Raiden as if she wanted to invite him to play again. Unfortunately, Laura motioned for her to wait. Before long, Lily ran while making sure her headphones didn't fall.
"She's a quiet girl huh!"
Raiden who saw the girl as obedient. It reminded him of someone he knew.
"more like she's a mute girl."
Raiden was suddenly surprised to hear that..
"Also, she lost her left ear trying to pull me to my human side. She still wears those headphones so she can hide the wound."
"I'm sorry. "
Raiden's face was downcast. But she ignored it and still smiled.
"Tell me, night owl. When you say a message from someone, could it be..."
She nodded for a moment.
"How do you know him? i mean, why do you want me to help you?"
"At that time.. "

"They used Solid Snake's name to cover up their terrorist acts. Actually he doesn't want to be involved in war anymore. But because of that problem, he re-involved himself to eradicate The fallen dryas."
Laura was silent..
"Tell me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Why?"
"I want to repay him for saving me, and enabling me to be who I am today. Let me help him."
Laura's determination sounded so strong it made her feel like she had no choice.
"Okay. Since you said it, then this is what you have to do. First, find Raiden. According to the data, he is at a facility. Make contact, then he will help you. Second, the organization is on a remote island near Spain."
"Great. How do I get there?"
"I have prepared a fast vehicle for you. The location is 2 kilometers from your location."
"That airport, huh. Great."

"That's what happened. My plan to meet you might sound a bit.. exaggerated. If it weren't for your ability to be so hard to trace."
Hearing that, he could only complain.
"Any ideas on why I'm the only one you're looking for?"
She knew that Raiden would say that sooner or later.
Suddenly she tore off her left arm, revealing a scar covered by tattoos.
"Because you probably understand. What the pain of torture is like, to make me a living weapon without emotion."
Raiden observed the wound.. But somehow, it felt like he saw his past.
Then..
"While I was there. There were several people who had the same fate. Many died. But only a few survived, including me. I got intel and found out that I was part of the project.."
Laura was silent for a moment.
"It was called, 7 child." she answered with a restless breath
