INT. JASON’S CUBE – DINNER HOUR
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcGlnPfckn
The trio crouches around the improvised “table”: a crate flipped upside‑down, topped with steaming bowls of heavy‑grade oil stew and squares of re‑heated heat‑cubes. Jason sips first, wincing at the metallic spice.

JASON
“Alright, spill circuits. How do you two keep citing personal details I never shared?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjfdPEhCxv
A raises his visor from the bowl, wiping oil from his chin.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb37uV0mYN9
SD‑A
“Details? Which?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoN6jpnCMd
JASON
“Maglev Operators glaring, my HR emotion forms—stuff you shouldn’t know. I never talked about any of it.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtFFZ15c2P
SD‑K, seated coolly in his new leather jacket, casually taps at a wrist panel.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkw78qUzd9
SD‑K
“Observation.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhw6WDy7nU
JASON
“Observation, my chassis. You weren’t on the train. And HR files aren’t public. So how did you observe that?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHJpQKeLcF
K glances at A—who looks innocently blank—then back at Jason. Finally, he slides a tiny metallic object onto the crate: a micro‑spider drone, no larger than a coin, eight slender legs curled in standby.

SD‑K
“I deployed reconnaissance units. Small, cheap. They skitter behind you, gather environmental data, and return. Simple.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPtJELO5Lt
JASON (staring at the bug)
“You’ve been droning me? In my own HQ? My commute? My cubicle?!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb8SirqHR3
SD‑K
“Efficient situational awareness. New environment. Unknown ally. Tactical necessity.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeVbhbjbs1
JASON
“Tactical—? I shower in that cube, K!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeyXNI7jWy
A nearly chokes on stew.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57VeKjoemE
SD‑A
“He does. I heard the pipe screaming.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ486VEBN6cD
K remains unapologetic.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBImq5nHpa4
SD‑K
“I only monitor patterns, not… bathing rituals.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f6XGyoJ0f
JASON (rubs temples)
“Look, I get paranoia. Been there. But I need one place where I’m not on candid camera, capisce? Call off the spyders.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS2CAPkMFh
K tilts his head, weighing trust vs. habit, then nods once.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIejhzl5N1
SD‑K
“Understood. Units deactivated. Data feed deleted.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhqWc0XrI
He crushes the spider gently between two fingers; tiny spark, then silence. Jason exhales, tension easing.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS1XlfkeXM
JASON
“Thanks. I’ll ignore the memory violation this once. Next time, ask.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijMBwjreaG
A raises a hand, genuinely curious.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgz1telwBS
SD‑A
“If we ask, can we still use them? Maybe… outside?”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZltoGSmoRl
JASON
“Fine. Outside. Not in my shower.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSlsbPhA5b
SD‑A (thumbs‑up)
“Deal!”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwTs8wFQaK
Jason pokes at his stew, then smirks despite himself.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63tCHCXalQ
JASON
“Can’t believe I’m negotiating surveillance boundaries over soup.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CNMkNmLp5
K flicks a heat‑cube into his mouth like popcorn.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h5mJXTgvf
SD‑K
“Welcome to family life.”
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6bCH8xe5G
They resume eating. The spoon‑king sculpture stares judgmentally from the counter, but for now the cube feels—if not private—at least honest.
