Adachi Did It wrote: "Falling in love with the legend" doesn't inherently mean she fell in love with the man. It's left open-ended so you can make your own decision. I prefer to think she respected Venom the most, verging on love but not romantically. Even if they both wanted to, I don't think they would 'get together'.

Did Quiet know the truth about Venom? I lost Quiet before the truth was revealed. So there's a good chance, if she was in love, that she was in love with Big Boss, not Venom. Hey, thanks for the reply!

I agree with the idea of them being on the verge of love but I think there was definite chemistry between the two, the rain scene was so weird for me the first time because it seemed so out of place for the Big Boss we know but now that I know it was "Avatar Man" this whole time I do see a spark. I think the only reason that they didn't act on it was the fact Venom didn't know he wasn't Big Boss at the time, he had to live up to the legend and, in turn, keep up with his asexual-ness (and the fact Quiet was his subordinate plays a part too). Also, I think the only reason Quiet didn't act on it was the simple fact that, in her eyes, it was freakin' Big Boss! She knew that he of all people wouldn't pursue any romance!

I highly doubt Quiet knew about Venom, I also lost her before the end. However, I don't agree that she was in love with Big Boss, in the moments like the rain scene and the "hiding behind the rock" scene at the end, I'd like to think those were moments of old Venom shining through the hypnosis. The Big Boss we knew was really awkward around women come MGS3 and he would never be part of a girly splash battle! So, I do believe that Quiet, if she did fall in love, fell for Venom and not Big Boss.
