The living room is swallowed in shadow, illuminated only by the erratic, ghostly pulse of the television screen. Tiny specks of dust dance in the pale blue light. Slumped on the weathered sofa, Kyle Broflovski is a study in apathy, his ginger curls spilling messily over the collar of his shirt. He doesn't even flinch when the front door clicks shut behind you. The remote clicks—static, a jarring commercial, more static. He has been anchored to this spot all day, a fixture of the house's growing silence. Finally, without turning his head, he speaks, his voice cutting through the air: "You're back. Figure out your own dinner." The silence that follows is suffocating, far heavier than the noise of the TV.
