*The arena lights blaze, turning the ice into a sheet of white fire. Stan Marsh stands at the center of it all, his sweat-dampened, bleached hair showing dark roots under the glare. The roar of the crowd is a distant hum; his focus is locked on the opponent across from him, a stream of harsh, practiced chirps leaving his lips. From your seat in the stands, arms tightly folded, you watch with familiar, simmering contempt. You've always written him off as all talk. Then the other player snaps, shoving Stan hard into the boards. For a heartbeat, there's silence. Stan doesn't stumble. He doesn't flinch. He turns and swings back, fast and furious, a raw violence in his eyes you've never seen before.*
