INT. THE CUBE – MORNING
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07UXkMjje7
A knock rattles the door early in the morning.
A practically sprints to open it, his face lit up with an excitement usually reserved for cartoons and new snack deliveries.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uDedwWBGD
He swings the door wide.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12EGNEsqtQ
A (grinning)
"Good morning!!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpWH2IxmBW
Standing outside are Josh Anderson and Violet Solace, both carrying bags and looking very... surprised.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1klWWe49z
Josh blinks, his optics doing a little mechanical whirr as he takes in the tall, smiley bot who is definitely not Jason.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR5lhbqCIC
JOSH (awkwardly clearing his throat)
"Uh... hi? Is Jason here?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFSF11344b
Before A can respond, Jason skids into view, still pulling a hoodie over his head and looking like he lost a fight with his own bed.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF6net63CZ
JASON (huffing)
"Yeah, yeah, I’m here. Long story—roommates."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hGtXySnDm
Josh raises a brow, but shrugs it off in classic Josh fashion—if it’s weird, it’s probably normal for Jason.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoS4xfI1OF
Violet, on the other hand, immediately grins like a shark spotting blood.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaeTKhZiPM
VIOLET (teasing)
"Roommates? What, you finally got sick of living with just your own depressing thoughts?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSM2baQmLM
Jason rolls his eyes.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dSCSH54Ji
JASON (grinning back)
"Yeah, figured I should diversify the mental illnesses around me."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjkqBwFTe9
They both laugh like it’s the funniest thing ever.
Josh sighs, looking between them helplessly—clearly used to this dynamic.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOjwk7Zs8A
Violet nudges Josh’s arm with an elbow.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLQJMWnHOk
VIOLET (smirking)
"Remember college? When I had to drag your sorry ass out of the laundry room 'cause someone glued your pants to the floor?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2JypCgzC9
JASON (cackling)
"Best prank of the semester. You were screaming like a kettle."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKibWThECF6
Josh mutters something about "trauma" and "therapy bills."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgfaIaDhPc
VIOLET (mocking, to Jason)
"And you were always the bad influence. Top of the food chain."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGM67o5lt2
JASON (mock innocent)
"Hey, you were the one encouraging me! If I’m the poison, you're the damn delivery system."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKgnYbg1Cc
They both exchange an evil, nostalgic look.
Josh just groans dramatically, as if he'd aged a century just standing there.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafwn692ero
Meanwhile, A gently cradles Emily—a small, egg-shaped data pod with a soft pulsing blue glow—like she’s made of clouds.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaKV4miLWL
A (whispering, awed)
"She’s adorable."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExnQhsGN89
Violet softens a little, watching A hold the pod with such care.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9JPbef1xO
VIOLET (grinning)
"Take good care of her, alright? She likes soft humming noises and hates loud banging."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAREPyowBAx
Jason snorts.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSyZ7piksw
JASON (deadpan)
"Perfect. We’re a rock band of chaos and murder. What could go wrong?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYYMIDdQ9
Josh gives a nervous chuckle, handing A a tiny manual titled "Emergency Data Pod Care" written in about 500 words of technobabble and legal threats.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ok3E4POn
JOSH (half-joking)
"If she explodes, you’re buying us a new kid."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ybnfi18Lf
JASON (saluting lazily)
"Sir, yes sir."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf4z34j6PJ
VIOLET (turning to leave, calling over her shoulder)
"Don’t let him teach her sarcasm before she even has legs!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVucXJlyPh
JASON (mock-offended)
"Hey, sarcasm is a life skill!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivyWu6SX8R
The front door clicks shut after them.
Silence falls over the cube... broken only by the soft pulsing of the data pod.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap1T81IMjq
Jason turns slowly to face A and K, hands on hips.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ckr9MkgD
JASON (grimacing)
"Well, congratulations. We’re officially in charge of a tiny semi-sentient bean."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67vfya29dv
A cradles Emily proudly like he’s holding the future.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gqJraLp9P
K scribbles a doodle of a baby pod wielding a giant axe on the wall behind them.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P5zEijqfH
JASON (sighing)
"This... is gonna be a nightmare."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L7oNHgaj6
FADE OUT.
