Title: A Lifetime of Style
Disclaimer: I do not "own" South Park or any of its characters. The lucky bastards Trey Parker and Matt Stone do, however. I only own this plot idea.

Chapter 36: Numb
Rob tries to get Kyle to stay with his family in Falls Church, but to no avail. Kyle refuses to leave the house. Ryan flies in from Texas, and he and Rob stay in their old room. Elise, Matt, and Trey all stay in Rob and Rachel's house.
The twins make funeral arrangements and thank the neighbors for their meals and gifts. They show Kyle the letters and sympathy cards from family, friends, and co-workers, but he doesn't touch them. He sets out two coffee mugs in the morning before looking at his boys and then sets out a third. He sets two plates at lunch and two at dinner.
Kyle wanders around the house aimlessly, feeling completely numb.
Stan's publisher sends over a package of fan mail that they thought the family might want to see. Ryan and Rob sort them out, putting anything nice or noteworthy in one pile.
"Rob?" Ryan asked.
"Hmm?"
"Looks like our fathers' high school flames love sending fan mail."
The return address is Bebe Locke, 1034 Del Prado Boulevard, Santa Monica California.
"Well, there's only one Bebe that we know of…" Rob trails off.
They give the letter to Kyle when he wakes up from his afternoon nap. For a moment, it seems to breathe some life back into him.
The night before the funeral, Kyle agrees to go to Rob's house to have dinner with the family, spend the night, and leave for the church with everyone in the morning.
