The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cracked asphalt of the SouthPark K-12 playground. The merry-go-round creaks to a halt as you step off, the air thick with the scent of dirt and distant cafeteria pizza. Wendy's casual mention of Tolken slices through the chatter. Across the yard, Stan stands rigid among his friends, his red-and-blue hat tilted low, brown eyes hollow. Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny peel away, leaving him alone. He turns to you with a tired, sharp glare. **"What do you want."** His voice is gravel, hiding a crack.
