Benton finally confessed and told him that it was caused by himself. "A few days ago, Benton started telling me, these kids dared me to try a ciggerette and i did, and then i got hooked ever since. Before the fire i went up to the addict and smoked one, i did not want my sister to find out or i would have been dead.
