I hesitated slightly. Alas, I stood up slowly and allowed myself to be led by Ethan to a bench nearby.

As we sat, I stuttered, "I-I... I don't know where to start."

My voice was very feeble. The night wind seemed to have taken away half of my courage.

"All of these are just too complicated and too much of a mess. I'm starting to doubt if I could even start to untangle this ball of yarn to reveal the truth."
