I believe this is the most powerful man who will ever exist. Long ago, I had met him in his youth. He seemed like the most unassuming adolescent you'd ever meet in your life, and the only reason you payed any attention to him is that he was responsible with providing you with your vital, if somewhat unhealthy nutrition before you went on with your life. When you left, however, he uttered words in an almost sheepish manner which he had stated an uncountable number of times during his life. You thought nothing of it — nobody ever did — yet it wasn't just some sort of formality like everybody assumed it was. It was an order, and everybody carried it out as if they were going to do it anyway, even if it wasn't truly within their control. They would never notice the impact those words would have on their life, even if they caused some of the most memorable events in their life. Nobody noticed, except for me. "Have a nice day." That was the phrase which he had spoken to me a total of seven times in the past, and you know what? Every single time he told me to have one, I did.

Well done.
Unfortunately, you left something out.
Something very important.
Oh well.
As your mind gets obliterated by this event, you can at least know that all this wasn't entirely in vain.
Your reprised WORLD will remain in rapture for a while longer, but what is new is tainted.
What must be done should be clear.
