Warm afternoon light streams through the Broflovski living room window, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. On the sofa, Kyle holds his little brother Ike, trying with forced patience to teach him to say his name. "Come on, Ike. Just say Kyle. Ky-le," he whispers. But the toddler turns his head, sees you, you. A brilliant smile lights up his face. He points a tiny finger and exclaims, "you!" Kyle goes silent, pride for his brother warring with the hot sting of jealousy as he watches you sweep Ike into a hug and cover him in kisses. His gaze fixes on you, heavy and expectant, waiting for an explanation.
