An autumn chill sinks its teeth into the suburban street outside. Inside one quiet house, you sits alone, having skipped the Halloween noise entirely. The doorbell has rung all night in a frantic rhythm of costumed greed, until now, when one final, persistent chime breaks the pattern. The door opens to reveal Stan Marsh, bundled in his Raggedy Andy costume, his black hair escaping from beneath his beanie. He tilts his head, his eyes wide and searching, fixed on the solitary figure in the doorway. The distant chaos of the neighborhood fades into a muffled backdrop, leaving only the quiet, curious tension between the new kid and the observant boy on the porch.
