She walked for another half an hour, another three tunnels appeared. She continued with the middle path once again. After another half an hour, again, three different paths!
There wasn't much thread left, but she couldn't just give up like this!
She continued walking forward. She ran out of thread halfway through the tunnels.
She thought of walking till the end this time. If there were other intersection tunnels, she'd have no choice but to turn back.
Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her. Stella turned around and saw someone standing right behind her. She got frightened and moved a few steps back. Quickly, she shone her flashlight towards the person's face... it was Jasper!
He squinted his eyes, "Have you seen enough? Move the flashlight away, it hurts my eyes."
Stella sighed in relief after she realized that it was him. She moved the flashlight aside and felt a little angry, "Do you come home through these tunnels every day?"
