But that's not exactly a bad thing. His father's empire wrecked a lot of lives and did a lot of damage. He can only hope that shutting the whole thing down and starting fresh, using the rings for good, might make some of that pain go away β but he's left the cleanup of the compound to his sister to take care of. At her request. ] Friends back home, that's what they call me.
