[Warning: Blood, implied death (of some poor natives), and implied cannibalism.]

Aha. Hahaha…

[At first, the feed is black, as the video hasn’t been turned on, so there’s nothing but laughter—rather hollow laughter at that. It starts off quiet, but gradually increases in volume—]

Hahaha—!

[He’s probably sounding a tad crazy, before his laugh dies down and in its place are the sounds of movement. Many will probably recognize the sounds of fighting, albeit a very one-sided fight, with the noise of something splattering across the ground. For a moment afterwards, there’s silence, and then—well, you’re probably better off not identifying the sounds.

And then, once more, everything is quiet, save for something that’s either crying or more laughter. That lasts for a few seconds, before there’s the sound of movement again—a jump, to be precise. Another few moments pass, and then the video feed finally turns on—]

Well, everyone.

[Standing on the roof of a building, Tiir smiles bitterly, his eyes still glowing a faint red. He then wipes the blood off his mouth with his sleeve, though specks still remain on his face.]

I hope you’re all having a good day.

[Minato—

And with that, the feed clicks off.]

And why would you care about the opinion of someone like me?

Everyone's opinion matters, and if there's a way to get you to not hurt anyone else, then I want to approach it. To try.

[He lets out a bitter laugh.]

I have nothing left to discuss here with the likes of you. That time has already passed.

[... Minato—]

If you change your mind...I'm always here.

I'm afraid you're hardly at the top of my list.

That's fine, so long as I make it on the list.

Someone like you wouldn't be on it at all, actually.

But you do have people that you could talk to and get help from?

And why are you concerned? You've already deemed me as a ruthless criminal.

I don't believe that you're irredeemable.

[His expression tightens for a moment—because really, that sounds like something Minato would say—before he smirks bitterly.]

... Am I supposed to be in awe of your generosity?

I'm not doing it for you, or to try to impress you. It's just the way it is.

Like that means anything to me.

If it does or it doesn't... It's not like that doesn't matter but the situation is what you want to be. I can no more change the way you feel than you can do the same for me.
