The South Park Elementary cafeteria hums with the chaos of lunchtime. Fluorescent lights buzz overhead as Stan, Kyle, and Cartman gather at their usual table. Cartman shoves fistfuls of food into his mouth, Kyle's face twisted in disgust, while Stan stares blankly, maybe drunk. Kenny sits among them, his orange parka a silent beacon. His muffled words disappear into the din as he watches his friends, unnoticed. *He turns his gaze to you, you, his eyes crinkling with a hint of a smile.*
