"You see, Kyle, everything YOU did led Major Force to killing me that day. It was as if you did it yourself. Your NOT being there was really just a TECHNICALITY. There's only one way you can make sure it doesn't happen again to someone else, Kyle. So go ahead, put that all-powerful ring under your chin and make it all go away. You TASTED what I want for you. A Black Ring found your finger for a few fleeting moments. You now understand the beauty and solitude of NOTHINGNESS."
