When the Kovaloff wakes up, he realizes that his nose is gone. He obviously freaks out since he doesn't understand what's happening. Kovaloff is extremely embarrassed, confused and possibly in shock. The major eventually concludes that his nose must have left his face because of some sort of witchcraft.

I think that we have to start by showing others that we're all equal, we need to have them accept that fact that there is going to eventually be change.
