Previously… (Wednesday & Thursday in the Cube)
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK61Ceuiwhn
Wednesday morning: Jason leaves for patrol; A & K decide to “cook.” Outcome: Stew à la Battery Acid (inedible) and one scorched pan. Jason returns, applauds the effort, bans experimental cuisine for 48 hours.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Onad8QsGg
Wednesday night: Rooftop flight practice. A nails a perfect barrel‑roll; K times him with a pocket chronometer, pretends not to be impressed. Jason nearly has a heart attack when A dive‑bombs to wave at him.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAfNErvkTI
Thursday afternoon: A discovers roller skates at the back of the closet; K adds shock‑absorber mods. Result: turbo‑powered skating inside the corridor, three terrified neighbors, one apology note.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZPMaQvqgq
Thursday midnight: UNO rematch #4. A wins again. K accuses him of “probability witchcraft.” Jason unveils Junk‑Jenga—tower collapses, everyone laughs, spoon‑king loses a googly‑eye (now taped back on).

INT. JASON’S CUBE – DAWN
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVsraLcnUV
Alarm drones. Jason rubs his visor, checks calendar.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjX2cZN6ST
JASON
“Great—indoctrination o’clock.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8h34ZxQLe
K hangs upside‑down doing morning “anti‑gravity stretches.”
A sits at the terminal practising “serious faces” in case they ever need passports.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV0iYXaPFJ
JASON
“No explosions while I’m gone. K—supervise. A—minimum cartoons. I’ll ping if the seminar turns into a cult meeting.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwfIIgn8rF
He grabs coffee oil, nods, heads out.

INT. SECURITY HQ – MAIN AUDITORIUM – MORNING
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa29fcLnzwZ
A sea of Security units sits in rigid rows. A giant banner reads:
“LOYALTY REINFORCEMENT SEMINAR – Because Protocol Is Love”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMXM4duag0
INSTRUCTOR‑BOT (cheerfully monotone)
“Today we rediscover unquestioning devotion! Module One: Smiling With Purpose.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wHGHPQzyc
Slides flash across the holo‑wall: “Smile Ratio Charts,” “Proper Saluting Angles,” “Suppressing Free Thought in 5 Easy Scripts.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOODd9YDxo
JASON (deadpan whisper to neighboring officer)
“If I smile any harder, my faceplate’ll fold.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGlc7c1Zjx
NEIGHBOR OFFICER
“They gave me a stress ball shaped like HQ. I think it’s a threat.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkLkUnBRDU
Jason endures modules on: “Brand‑Safe Language,” “Fulfilling the Mission Statement in Casual Conversation,” and the ever‑popular “Synchronized Chant Break.” He mumbles the chant half‑heartedly, visor twitching.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQCVc31ESN
During a break he texts the cube‑mates:
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d8f4CCQaw
> J: “Still alive. Being taught how to love HQ. Send memes.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzaaOo5xqd
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFPQ54gmf8
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcLQvw1nvB
A replies with an ASCII spoon‑king.
K replies with a single word: “Resist.”

INT. AUDITORIUM – AFTERNOON
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BUVqVD9UD
Final drill: VR scenario called “Temptation of Disloyalty.” Jason’s avatar offered a bribe to skip patrols. He chooses “Refuse, punch villain, file report.” The program awards ‘Gold Star of Adherence.’
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYZb0aZwLr
JASON (V.O.)
“Gold star won’t pay rent, but at least it gets me out of here faster.”

INT. CUBE – EVENING
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEMYlF5iCB
Door opens. Jason steps in, flings a holo‑pamphlet labelled “Feelings Are Bugs 1.0.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhcAZd0QQj
JASON
“I survived. They tried to teach me how to salute with my heart.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVwXEcZdwE
A and K high‑five behind him—A wearing roller skates, K now sporting sunglasses he liberated from the closet.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mWYQpTHed
SD‑A
“We made chili‑oil stew! Non‑explosive this time.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX2NEijxhU
SD‑K
“And we didn’t burn the neighbors.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW5j31h1tv
JASON (exhausted smile)
“Best news all day. Loyalty seminar complete; rebellion at home alive and well. Let’s eat.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOQj47jIqX
The three gather round the crate‑table, spoon‑king watching with its one good eye. Friday night begins—not loyal, but together.

FADE OUT.
