[The feed snaps on to show a rather tired and burnt Liquid Snake. Yep, those are small burn marks on his chest and face from where he tried to kill someone and it backfired. Literally. His target had pyrotechnics skills and he had no defence it seemed. The blond is rather apprehensive when he addresses his phone screen.]

I trust the gods have had their fun now after their little "game." For the poor girl I went after and tried to kill I am deeply sorry. Believe me, I had no interest in killing anyone until Rage tried to force me into assassinating someone.

[He hardly knew the girl's name. Was it Rey? Something like that. He caresses his face where there is a red mark going down his cheek. It was like he could still feel the heat where she burst into flame.]

For everyone's sakes I hope that nothing like this happens again. I'm tired of being a pawn in this sick game of yours. Yes, you. The gods that you may be.

[His voice directed at the gods obviously.] I just wanted to say sorry is all.

Rage, hm? Well, I definitely felt rage when I attacked the poor girl. To be honest I don't know what came over me.

[He hated not being in charge of his own thoughts and body.]

You could say I am a dangerous man but that depends in what context. My name is Liquid Snake. Who might you be?

[watashinonamaewa]

In that context you should know that you were the poor boy in danger. Not her. She's far more dangerous than you could be.

Like I said. You'd better leave her alone, Liquid Snake.

[liquid_serpent]

I am no poor boy. Do not call me that.

[Even as a boy he wanted to be a man grown before his time. He was fed up of adults telling him what to do.]

She has skill with fire I'll give her that. Yet, I never wished to harm her in the first place. I am sorry for aggravating her. You can be assured I will leave her alone unless I feel myself wanting to become barbeque for the day.

[Injured pride? Yep.]

[watashinonamaewa]

And she isn't a poor girl either. Yet you said that a few times now, haven't you?

[ See what she did there? ]

There's no need to apologize for what Rage did. Calling her out publicly like she was the victim is something else.

[ No one messes with her best friend, bruh. Cibs ain't havin' it. ]

Could have killed you. Didn't. Just don't make it sound like something it wasn't. Be thankful and move on.
