———————————
“Guilty” you heard the judge say as your head fell to the ground, knowing deep down that this would be the verdict. You were escorted out of the courtroom before being taken to your courthouse cell before being moved to the Silverwater Women’s Correctional Centre.
These last few months have been tortuous in themselves and as you sat down in your temporary holding cell you couldn’t help to think back on everything that happened. After you were handcuffed you were brought to your feet as armed officers escorted you to an armoured truck.
You watched as Miranda was being looked after by a paramedic, checking her out for any physical injuries, which they wouldn’t find anyway. You took one last look at Miranda before being shoved into the back of the armoured truck. “I’m sorry” you said to yourself but you knew no one would hear you.
After that you were taken down to the police station where you spent the next few days being interviewed. You answered what felt like a hundred and one questions. Deep down you knew that it was about that many they asked because they wanted to know about everything that happened.
Not just with Miranda but with everything that has happened in your criminal life, which was a lot. After the cops had gathered enough evidence to book you for your crimes. They charged you with 13 counts of first degree murder as well as 13 counts of aggravated assaults which was basically adding up to spending the rest of your life in prison and you knew that.
With your charges in place, you then had to prepare yourself for the months-long trial. If it had just been the one charge you could have had it all sorted within a few days, but in total you had 26 counts against you and the court had to go through each one. Your court case has also gained a lot of media attention.
The public hate you after finding out about the cruel things that you have done, but weirdly you also have a small following that are supporting you. They are clearly fucked up just like you. The only reason you did what you did was because of your father. While all this attention was on you the only person you could think about seeing was Miranda.
You knew that eventually your paths would cross again as she would have to stand trial as a witness. That day didn’t take long to come around as what happened to her took up a majority of the case as it was the most recent. That day you were sitting in the courtroom, sitting in your suit waiting for the trial to start once again.
When Miranda was finally called to the stand, she entered the courtroom, dressed in a smart tailored suit. You looked in the direction she came but she did not make eye contact with you once and you didn’t blame her one bit. She sat down next to the judge before taking her oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Miranda was asked a load of different questions about what she learnt while she was undercover and what happened after she was found out to be an undercover officer. “I got recruited quite quickly into the gang. I didn’t need any background checks and y/n took a liking to me straight away. Even went as far as being on first name bases which I learnt that I was the only one who was allowed to call y/n by their actual name. Everyone else referred to her as ‘boss’” Miranda said as she shifted in the chair.
“I learnt about what happened to her previous victim who I ended up replacing in the gang. I was told that the last person who crossed y/n ended up chopped up in a suitcase and is now at the bottom of the ocean. I was scared shitless when I heard this knowing I could very well end up facing the same fate” Miranda continued with a shaky voice.
You could tell she was scared even from the memories of it all. “I was trained quite quickly amongst everyone and it wasn’t long before y/n decided to show me how she tortured her victims. I didn’t last very long in that room and we ended up having a massive argument where I told her that she was sick and messed up for what she was doing to these people”.
“When they came to have a chat with me later on she found out I was a cop. I was tossed in the white room where she tortured all her victims as I waited for what was about to happen next. But it never came. Yes she did torture me mentally but not once did she lay a physical hand on me which I always found bizarre. It did show me though that she is human and that she does care when she wants to. However I know that does not change anything that she did in the past”.
“Eventually I managed to convince y/n to turn herself in and after that moment she did just that, letting me go without a physical scratch on me. However, I have suffered mentally due to the torture I underwent and she has to be punished for all the things she has done” Miranda finished off as she spoke to the courtroom.
While Miranda was talking, you were looking over to the jury, trying your best to read their faces. All you could tell was that it wasn’t looking good for yourself. You wanted to be angry at Miranda but she was telling the truth. You knew that you would be called to the stand eventually to tell your side of the story. You did think about lying but what was the point? Everyone knew the truth so why lie?
Once Miranda had come off the stand it was your turn to speak your truth. You made your way up to the stand before sitting down where Miranda was just sitting. You looked around the courtroom as you felt everyone silently judging you and trying to work you out. You took the oath to tell the truth before you started to tell your side of the story.
“I will admit what I did was wrong and there is no way I can lie about everything that happened. I am confessing guilty to everything that I am being charged for because it is all true however I do want to tell you how I ended up in this situation at the age I am. My dad used to be the gang leader of my gang and a part of me never wanted to be associated with this side of him” you explained.
“However after my dad was killed by the police the gang was all I had left of him so I took over. I didn’t even realise how carried away I was getting with everything until it was too late. When I first met Miranda I felt this weird connection with her. I had never felt like this with anyone before and I felt like I could trust her just like that. I learnt later on that was a massive mistake on my part” you told the courtroom as everyone looked at you with a blank expression.
“After I realised she was a cop I immediately took her to what I call my white room which is where I tortured and killed most of my victims. But I knew before I even took her there that I wouldn’t be able to hurt her. Not physically anyway. I needed my gang to still think I was tough, so I would make her look injured but in fact I hadn’t laid a single hand on her. However I will admit I did torture her mentally which I am not proud of” you continued.
“Miranda then convinced me to turn myself in. I knew deep down that it was going to end with me in handcuffs, I just didn’t realise the one who would send me there would be the one who I developed feelings for. I just want to apologise to all the families that I have caused immense amounts of pain. I am willing to cooperate to help reunite the bodies of my victims” you sighed before sitting back down in your seat in front of the judge.
You knew deep down by cooperating and providing a sap story that they were suddenly going to find you not guilty but you did hope that maybe they would reduce your sentence a little bit. However then you realise if they did you would still probably end up dying behind bars due to the amount of crimes you have committed. The judge called for one final break where the jury went off to decide on their final verdict.
You sat in your cell potentially for what felt like forever before you were finally called back to the courtroom. You look around to see Miranda sat down in the courtroom for the first time since you had been caught. The judge started speaking but to you it was all white noise until he asked you to stand for your sentencing.
You stood up as he started talking once more. You zoned back in when you heard that one word “guilty”.

Snake And Otacon Courtroom Sketch - Standing for Their Crimes
Joan Baez' "Here's to You" is a sensational track, and one that made Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes introduction that much more impactful and salient. However, originally Kojima planned to use the piece in MGS 4, in a scenario where Solid (Old) Snake and Hal Emmerich (Otacon) are synonymous with persecuted, and executed, anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Although still utilized in MGS 4's end credits, I do believe it loses its gravitas with the way the ending was changed (plus I prefer Joan Baez' original rendition).
Although I am happy with the ending we received, I wanted to pay homage to Kojima's original vision, which I do feel is more emotionally impactful, and true to how radical political actors are treated (Just look at Edward Snowden).
