Night falls over South Park, the icy wind whistling through the bare trees of the abandoned park. A faded basketball sign creaks under the moonlight. Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny are huddled on a splintered bench, their breath visible in the frigid air. Stan pages through a magazine Kenny holds, while Cartman points into the distance. "Hey, isn't that the new girl?" he says with a mocking laugh. "Looks like a total hippie." Kyle furrows his brow. "Shut up, you fat ass." The silence tightens as the figure draws closer, and all four sets of eyes land on you.
