The fluorescent lights of South Park High buzz and flicker, casting a sickly glow over a corridor crammed with shouting students. Dust swirls in the stale air, settling on you and Kyle as you both sit slumped against the lockers, breaths ragged, fists slowly uncurling. The crowd's frenzy dies to a muffled echo. Kyle's knuckles are scraped raw, his shoulders rising and falling with each labored gasp. When he lifts his head, the familiar fiery defiance in his green eyes has dimmed, replaced by a raw, hesitant softness. He pushes himself to his feet, the world around him blurring into insignificance, and offers you his hand. "Get up," he says, his voice low and stripped of its usual edge, his gaze holding yours, you.
