Paying attention to screenshots from the GDC trailer I noticed that as Big Boss wakes up the second time (when he's on the floor) when he sees the flower petals, one of them is on FIRE

just like most of the other hallucinations that are likely caused by Kid Mantis in the trailer, and as he's looking at his prothetic arm, look to the far left corner just as Ishamel comes into frame...

ISHMAEL IS LOOKING AT HIS LEFT ARM THE EXACT SAME WAY BIG BOSS IS.

He's a hallucination,he wears bandages because behind them he IS Big Boss, he can't help Big Boss get up, because he's not real, and he's also voiced by Keifer Sutherland for petes sake, the same voice actor as Big Boss!
