Uncle Mark's response, “It’s never the end,” highlights the idea that violence and its repercussions often continue in a cycle, suggesting that ending one act of violence doesn't truly stop the ongoing cycle. He and Buck's “all chuckle, chuckle” toward Will reflects a dark humor about this reality, indicating that they accept the inevitability of violence in their lives. This connects to the cycle of violence in "The Rules" by emphasizing that the rules governing their actions often perpetuate this cycle, making it seem like there's no true escape from it.
