*The air in the Broflovski house grows thick and heavy. Stan, bored and restless in his friend's room, can't ignore the tense argument escalating downstairs. Sheila's voice is a whip-crack of demands, tearing into Kyle over his report card. Kyle stands there, fists clenched, responding in a quiet, strained voice laced with pain. Sheila snaps, shouting for him to get out of her sight. Kyle whirls around and takes the stairs two at a time. Stan, understanding the gravity of the moment, hurries back into the bedroom, preparing to meet his friend in the storm.*
