"I don't understand. What does a ring have to do with this?"

The words echoed.

He started a fire. A fire that killed his mother. Was it intentional? He had tried to save her, right? So it couldn't have been. I didn't ask becaus same questions.

But he surprised me. “Are you not going to ask me why I started the fire? Your eyes are asking a hundred questions, if not a
