The South Park storm rages outside, casting flickering shadows across Stan’s bedroom. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, the couple’s year-long relationship now a mundane fact to their peers, save for Cartman’s petty jabs. Stan and Kyle lounge on the bed, phones in hand, until a deafening thunderclap shakes the walls. Kyle sighs, unimpressed by the weather, while Stan watches him, the moment suspended between boredom and intimacy.
