INT. JASON’S APARTMENT CUBE – NIGHT
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsXDoJNjR1
[The tiny cube glows dimly in the soft blue light of a ceiling strip that flickers now and then. The power-charging pod hums gently in one corner, while a small fold-out table is crammed against the wall. The “kitchen” is just a heating coil and a rusting oil pan. But it’s warm—metaphorically, anyway.]

[Jason slaps down three cheap metal trays filled with a mix of canned machine oil, heat-cubes, some questionable gray strips labeled “digestive substrate,” and a single gear tendon skewer cut in thirds.]

JASON
“Alright, welcome to the finest low-budget cuisine this side of Central City. Try not to burn your tongues or internal regulators.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjEMokIO3B
SD-A (picking up his tray, delighted)
“This is the first time I’ve had dinner that wasn’t from the side of a dead robot. I’m... kind of excited.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WMI9TB7zu
SD-K (deadpan, picking up his own tray)
“That’s the most depressing thing I’ve heard in a week, and we fought a corpse-puppet yesterday.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvehKjJ7WYj
JASON (mouth full already)
“Don’t insult the cuisine. This stuff has at least four legally required minerals.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6dJagXImq
[The three sit. There’s a strange, pleasant quiet as they eat. SD-A hums a jingle he heard earlier. Jason just focuses on chewing without crunching down on anything still wriggling. The camera pans over the tray: something does twitch slightly. He ignores it.]

LATER
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy1eSSNqPG
[Dinner trays stacked in the bin. SD-A is cross-legged on the floor, watching a grainy cartoon on Jason’s old wall screen. It stars a malfunctioning delivery drone and its sidekick coffee mug. The mug doesn’t talk—it just vibrates ominously.]
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzneV0FtbMY
[Jason is nearby, tinkering at a small workbench. Sparks flick out as he welds a spindly mechanical crab arm to a rubber duck.]

JASON
“If this works, we might have a fully autonomous bath buddy. If it doesn’t, it becomes a hallway menace. Honestly, win-win.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo28kqPnxz
[SD-K leans against the wall, arms crossed, eyes on both of them.]
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Utoow0YcJ
SD-K
“How are you two so... calm? We’re literally being stalked by something, there’s a parasitizing material infecting bots, and you're welding crab legs to a toy.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUbwFjKEJu
[Jason pauses, sets the torch down, and wipes his face.]
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7gekTTTg1
JASON
“Because if we panic now, we’ll just overheat and die tired.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4JLaDfUcU
[SD-A laughs softly.]
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssJAO0A8rc
SD-A
“He’s not wrong.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxAWviDYhu
SD-K (muttering)
“I didn’t say he was.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny3JW9KFHp
[Jason swivels his chair around.]

JASON
“You know what freaks me out more than all of this? Not knowing anything. That’s what I hate. So, while we’re on the topic—mind telling me how you guys actually live? You wander around all night drinking oil and avoiding death, sure, but… what else?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrWa8SN0um
[SD-A leans back thoughtfully.]
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdYK7dU3DP
SD-A
“Well… We don’t really have homes. Purification bots don’t sleep the way others do—our CPUs go into cooldown mode only when we absolutely need to. And food isn’t consistent. You fight, you eat. You don’t fight, you starve.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW99cBkTcN
SD-K
“We avoid cities. Use ruins. Hide in broken things. Sometimes we find places that still have power and hibernate for a few hours. No ‘days off’ in our world.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5OswzpqOD
[Jason slowly nods.]
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfvrKAEZIT
JASON
“...That sucks.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxoihlISVP
SD-A (trying to stay light-hearted)
“It builds character?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB0KOpDlY9
SD-K (dry)
“It builds trauma.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET7DjLLHid
JASON
“Well, you’ve got this dump for now. Not glamorous, but it doesn’t actively want to disassemble you. Usually.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZpUJSHZHx
[They fall into silence. The cartoon plays on. The delivery drone explodes for comedic effect. The mug survives.]
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPFKth2B64
SD-A (watching the screen)
“I like the mug. It reminds me of K.”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84iQU1dVQv
SD-K
“...Do you want to be kicked or just thrown out the window?”
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVNSoM1xfU
JASON (grinning, leaning back)
“This is the most dysfunctional sleepover I’ve ever had. And I used to work crowd control.”
