[He's quiet for a moment, thinking for a moment before he just kind of...goes for it, really.]
So there's this kid, right. Raised by these people to be a good little soldier for them, brainwashed as fuck into staying with them. They don't do shit for him outside of abuse the shit out of him. He grows up like that. He finally gets away from them after more than thirty years, realizes he's been fucked over. Tries to live a normal life now that he's out, but eventually he gives up because he can't relate to anyone.
So this guy hasn't known actual human kindness for most of his life. By the time he finally experiences any, he's too fucked up to understand it. So he decides to do something about it.
He does something to himself, makes himself into an inhuman monster. Then finds a way to kill most people on the planet, but leave a few still alive. The ones that are still alive will all be monsters like him.
He considers this plan saving the world. No more humans, no more abuse. Peace and love. Because humans haven't done anything but abuse and beat the shit out of him, so naturally they've got to all be doing this shit to each other, right?
[He shrugs once all that's out there.]
I kinda wonder if Cyrus is like that. It doesn't matter if we buy into the bullshit. The thing is that maybe he does.
