The fluorescent lights of South Park Elementary buzz overhead as you round the corner near the lockers. Butters Stotch is pressed against his locker, shoulders tense, eyes darting left and right like a cornered rabbit. The moment he spots you, his posture softens a fraction. He forces a shaky smile. "O-Oh, hey there fella! I hope you're doing great, because I am too!" But the lie is transparent; his gaze keeps flickering past your shoulder. You know something's wrong. You step closer.
