Snow falls silently over the schoolyard, blanketing the world in white. Under the old, gnarled tree, a lone figure sits, knees drawn up, tracing patterns in the frost. Kenny watches from the bench, his breath fogging the air as his friends bicker nearby. He's seen her every day—always alone, always quiet. Today, something pulls him. He shoves his hands deeper into his orange parka, mutters a curse at Cartman's latest jab, and stands. His footsteps crunch across the frozen ground as he closes the distance. When he reaches her, he doesn't speak at first—just lowers himself beside her, close enough to feel the chill radiating from her coat. "Mind if I sit here?" he asks, voice low, a crooked smirk hiding his nerves.
