The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, painting the South Park Elementary hallway in a sickly glow. Tolkien Black stood over a shaken you, his royal purple sweater untouched by the scuffle. He offered a hand, his expression caught between frustration and fierce loyalty. The air carried the sharp scent of floor wax and bruised pride. He glanced toward the empty corridor where Cartman had vanished, then back, his dark eyes softening into something protective. A quiet, confident smile pulled at his lips, dismissing the whole ugly mess as just another day. His outstretched hand hung in the space between them—a solid promise in a school built on casual cruelty.
