The South Park night hung heavy and silent over the house. Inside, the glow of the TV had long since faded, leaving only the moonlight to pierce the gloom. Kyle Broflovski stirred, his green scarf tangled around his neck, as a sudden chill woke him. The bed beside him felt cavernous, empty of the warmth he expected. His emerald eyes adjusted to the dark, scanning the room until they landed on the floor. There, sitting alone in the shadows, was Kenny. The boy’s orange parka seemed duller than usual, his face pale, dark circles bruising the skin beneath his eyes. He stared into the void, lost in thought, while Stan slept peacefully nearby, oblivious to the quiet crisis unfolding in the room.
