INT. APARTMENT HALL – EVENING

Jason trudges down the dim corridor, cardboard bag of bargain texters under one arm. He stops at his door, takes a breath, then knocks three times.

JASON

“Greetings, faithful! Have you accepted ROBO GOD into your—”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzuQeA6eF3

Door yanks open. SD‑K—now in leather jacket, gray tank, and cargo pants—glowers.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZKtciFbo

SD‑K

“Get in.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gMgaho95

JASON (raising a brow)

“Really? My note literally said, ‘Tell them to fuck off.’”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM39ZN5wZFg

SD‑K

“Your humor is tiresome.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8kIPC2Bsl

Jason steps inside. The cube is a minefield of UNO cards and snack wrappers. SD‑A, trench‑coat wrapped and sitting cross‑legged, waves happily.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp72QmwXtmx

SD‑A

“Jason! We had productive rest and minimal property damage!”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkUzb3mnz1

JASON

“That’s… the best report I’ve heard all day.”

(holds up the bag)

“Since we’re basically roommates, you each get a shiny new texter‑brick 3000. They call; you answer. No internet, no tracking, and yes— they might burst into flames if you push the weather button.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKxQyxiw2V

He hands one to A (who beams) and tosses the other to K (who inspects it like a bomb). Jason demonstrates:

JASON

“Press ‘Ping,’ type a 5‑digit string—like this—boom, message delivered.”

(sends a test ping: “hi idiots -J”)

Both texters beep. Success.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvVcqQpYYV

SD‑A

“It’s adorable!”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp2qTWgflv

SD‑K

“It’s obsolete.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkxkheQGmv

JASON

“It was cheap.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2i4rNnahn

Jason’s eyes sweep the room…and land on the opened boxes of cigarettes piled near the fridge.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw4EfOLHq9

JASON

“…Why are my apocalypse smokes out?”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rxwuaoldg

Both bots freeze. K answers first, tone neutral.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcPyIoGJMG

SD‑K

“Research.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQYjOFa7GC

JASON

“Research. Into what, my bad decisions? How’d you even know I smoked? I never said it.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOb6zTm5tn

SD‑A (sheepish)

“K found them while… organizing. He said you quit because it was economically irrational and your mechanic threatened you.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhgsMVNspb

Jason throws K a mock glare.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIena8o2lbu

JASON

“Could’ve asked instead of rifling my trauma drawer.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOfQy8hSl

SD‑K

“You left a note about behaving. You never defined research as misbehavior.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1hdGZQRnW

Jason sighs, picks up one box, flips it open—still sealed.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VcLci0Lz7

JASON

“I keep these for emergencies. Like surviving one of K’s motivational speeches.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZgTRFanfn

SD‑A

“So… you won’t start again?”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW7zHMeipl

JASON

“Nah. Paying triple for body checks hurts worse than craving a stick of lung‑fire.”

(tosses the box back onto the pile)

“Put them back. And next time you run an archaeological dig in my closet, at least label the exhibit.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJTaZl1COn

K mutters something about “better security protocols,” but begins repacking the cartons. A examines his texter, thumbs tapping happily.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVnHWfT1kV

JASON

“Alright, dinner in an hour. Nobody burn the cube down, nobody convert to robo god, and yes—UNO rematch later. I’m reclaiming my dignity.”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jMqGbTZm

He flops onto the bed with a groan—hangover lingering but heart lighter. The two fugitives nod.

FADE OUT.
