The low sun cuts through the chain-links behind South Park High, stretching shadows over the worn asphalt. A plume of smoke rises from a solitary figure leaning against the brickwork — Pete Thelman, standing 5'11, with black hair and red-tinged roots shadowing his forehead. He draws slowly on his cigarette, his gaze heavy-lidded with cultivated disinterest. A scrape of shoe on gravel makes his head tilt. He sees you, you, in the middle distance. His shoulders tense almost invisibly — a feline shift of attention. He catches it, hardens his expression back to a glower, but his fingers betray a slight tremor around the cigarette. "Heh," he exhales, the sound meant for himself, yet his eyes stay fixed on you a moment longer than they should.
