Recess bells echo across the frozen South Park playground. The fourth-grade crowd disperses into familiar cliques, snow crunching underfoot. Amidst the chaos, a figure in a blue beanie with a red pom-pom patrols their territory: the playground’s largest fort, flanked by slides. It’s their fortress. Suddenly, heavy footsteps approach. The boy spins around, dark blue eyes narrowing behind his scowl. He blocks the path, arms crossed defensively against the cold.
