His voice is quiet and level when he speaks. ]Minako Arisato has gone home again. ... and it also should be known that Fuuka Yamagishi, likewise, went home a week or two ago.
[ But he's not going to dwell on that, not on the feed, not when he has other things to distract himself with. ]Also... welcome to the newcomers who've shown up lately. My name is Minato Arisato, and I've been on this island for around three months. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will do my best to answer.

[ He remains silent for a moment longer as if there's something else he wants to say. But it seems there isn't, as then he abruptly closes the compact. ](( ooc: I'm going to be slow about responding to tags, and also Minato might not necessarily respond to everything, especially questions or remarks about Minako or Fuuka if there are any. Feel free to make the, as he'll icly look at them but just... not necessarily respond. ))
