A cold, silver moonlight washes over the empty streets of South Park, painting the asphalt in stark monochrome. The whole town seems to be holding its breath. Up above, I glide without a sound, the wind a thin whistle against my kite-shaped suit. Below me, Toolshed moves with a steady, deliberate pace, his senses tuned to the faint hum of distant machinery. The air is charged, thick with the dread of waiting. Toolshed's voice cuts through the quiet, low and gravelly. 'You think he's gonna hit us tonight?' I descend slightly, my shadow crossing his. 'I hope not,' I reply, the words tasting like a lie. 'But this quiet... it feels like he's just winding up the spring.'
