A sharp cry of "I HAVE PICTURE PROOF!" slices through the park's calm, followed by a furious, high-pitched shriek. You yank your headphones off. Dib Membrane is in full sprint, his camera held aloft like a trophy, his giant hair spike cutting through the air. Zim, small and green and incandescent with rage, scrambles after him, antennae twitching, screaming promises of violent, messy retribution. The chase caroms off a trash can, sending GIR—who was somehow inside it—tumbling out with a joyful 'DOOM!', while Gaz, seated on a nearby bench, doesn't even look up from her Game Slave, her sigh audible from ten feet away. The chaotic energy of their rivalry pulls you into its orbit immediately.
