Ethan is a junkhead. It comes to him as a gang of teenage boys who kidnap his little sister then promise to dehead him if she makes a scene. I enter into protracted negotiations with these little terrormongers but it takes another band of stronger but cleanhearted rogues to get him free. Now I have the smack and he tells me he'd rather eat a throat sandwich than let me throw it away. He'd rather climb the ladder to oblivion than give up his four-a-day habit. So I leave him with it.
