INT. THE CUBE – EARLY MORNING
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvv5EP2jWH
The golden light spills lazily into the room.
Dust particles dance like tiny fairies in the air.

Jason groans and rolls over, trying to bury himself deeper under the blanket like some kind of angry mole.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AuO5zZFdT
JASON (muffled under the blanket)
"Why is existence so loud…?"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMLaJ3Q2wO
A sits up first, looking strangely refreshed considering last night’s chaos.
He gently checks Emily, who’s still asleep—small, steady breaths puffing from the little data pod.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lyGqV5y0v
A (whispering)
"Survived the night… barely."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFjiTPLlua
K is already awake, sitting cross-legged by the wall, scribbling strange, unsettling doodles again like nothing ever happened.

Jason finally drags himself out of bed like he’s being summoned to his own execution.
His optic sensors are dim and half-shut.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q0xPEtNUs
He stumbles toward the kitchen corner like a sleep-deprived zombie.

JASON (grumbling to himself)
"Need… caffeine… now… or someone's getting set on fire…"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGkLZM5V0s
He fumbles with the coffee machine, hitting the wrong buttons, muttering dark curses at every beep it makes.
Finally, a cup of burning hot coffee brews, and Jason clutches it like a lifeline.

A watches, half-amused, half-concerned.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHFl4vtGsU
A
"You know, for someone who lectures about responsibility, you sure crumble fast."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKljW5bkgvx
Jason gives him a look that could kill a mid-range battle unit.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBxtWMieaW
JASON
"I didn't sign up to fight boss monsters at 3 AM."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPpQ23if0T
K (without looking up from his drawings)
"You’re weak."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lvKfDq6F9
Jason flips him off half-heartedly, too tired to even argue properly.

After a while, A makes some simple breakfast—basic nutrient packs heated and served with something resembling synthetic eggs.
(They’re suspiciously bright orange. No one asks why.)
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRyZE8vcw1
They eat quietly at first, still shaking off the remnants of their dreams.

Emily stirs, letting out a soft, whimpering noise.
A immediately picks her up and rocks her gently, while Jason sighs heavily into his coffee.

JASON (dryly)
"You're way too natural at this. Starting to think you were a dad in your past life."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06615Px7xk
A (grinning slightly)
"Maybe I just have more patience than you."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKtPMVc2y3
JASON
"Patience is a scam invented by people who don’t have to deal with crying blobs at night."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9flDwomTFI
K, for once, chuckles under his breath—a rare, soft sound.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68oaunpmz5
Jason notices but doesn’t say anything, just quietly tucks that moment into the back of his mind.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhul9hSObiQ
Despite everything—the exhaustion, the chaos, the absolute loss of sanity—
there’s a strange peace filling the room.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bj4Xv2i3U
Like maybe, just maybe, they’re figuring out how to be something almost like a family.
