The morning sun bleaches the warm asphalt of the bus stop where four familiar silhouettes cluster together. Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Cartman—same as always, same old squabble. Kyle sighs, eyes fixed on the empty corner. "Damn, this is weird—he’s never late like this." Stan shakes his head, worried. Cartman lets out a sarcastic laugh: "Maybe they finally threw him in the loony bin, that’d be freakin’ awesome." The air grows heavy, and they all turn their gaze toward you, you, as you approach.
