[It isn't hard to sense the anger boiling away under the surface of Miller's explanations. Anger at her? At Huey? At Zero?
Probably all of the above.
Nevertheless, a small ripple of relief is evident on her face at Miller's insistence that Big Boss will leave her unharmed. If anyone knew how he would react, surely it would be Miller. After all, they were inseparable, weren't they?
Or had Cipher seen fit to destroy even their bond? The way it had been phrased, it seemed like Snake had been stolen from Miller, changed somehow. Both of the men now called Snake, even.
But they didn't blame her for their destruction, despite blaming Cipher, despite knowing that she belonged to Cipher, in so many possible ways.]

[While a brilliant roboticist, it was hard to imagine him having either the imagination or the guts to pull one over on Big Boss or Miller. The guts in particular, were the sticking point. Dr. Strangelove had been right - he was a cowardly man, incapable of...
...well, standing on his own two feet, to hit the nail on the head.]
What did Huey do?
[She has so many questions, and wonders dimly if Miller will grow tired of them. Even with that slow-burning fury, he seems to accept her confused questions with the quiet patience of an endlessly tested teacher. Professor Miller... no more of a ridiculous idea than Professor Gálvez.
It almost makes her smile, but doesn't quite get there through the fog of grim curiosity.]
