INT. JASON’S CUBE – FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAEyNFNB5ESn
The crate‑table is now cluttered with three bowls of chili‑oil stew, half‑empty drink canisters, and the UNO deck ready for battle. The spoon‑king—one googly eye, one duct‑taped—presides from a shelf.

Jason slurps a spoonful, sighs like a rebooted fan.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0KBkdNAZUH
JASON
“Spicy but edible. A miracle. All right, new tradition—post‑seminar rant followed by game night. A, deal.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANADmp4ifBCkm
SD‑A shuffles cards with exaggerated flair, trench‑coat sleeves flapping.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHrwPcCkVDD
SD‑A
“Prepare to face my rainbow of doom!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANADHk9Z9ULjT
He deals. SD‑K, sunglasses propped on his head, flicks a card aside.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3dovz6HJ19
SD‑K
“Rainbow beats nothing. Statistics favour me.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA9iXR0m0LlF
JASON
“Statistics don’t account for wild cards—and cheating.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAhV5OCOMtSx
Round one: A slams a Draw‑Four; K growls; Jason laughs until the chili hits wrong and he coughs.
22Please respect copyright.PENANATdsfPYLZx2
A second later Jason’s texter beeps—Commander Nine‑2’s broadcast:
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUkCCs1vp3p
> “Reminder: supplemental loyalty survey due Monday.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7XyoiaelHz
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwiXVt6S3V3
22Please respect copyright.PENANAf6x7hHa9Hj
Jason snoozes it without a glance.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGkTkrPL0uA
JASON
“Not thinking about work. Focus: destroying your egos.”

RAPID‑FIRE MONTAGE
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3EexR9Ejy1
Draw Two avalanche: K forces Jason to pick up eight cards; Jason swears creatively, A giggles.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAll6Hz3CmlZ
Trench‑coat victory dance: A wins a round, spinning on skates; spoon‑king nearly topples.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPqbxKIirT5
Chili‑refill pit stop: K ladles more stew, muttering, “Fuel for statistically inevitable revenge.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnPz849W5WG
Jason’s comeback: He chains a Skip‑Reverse‑Wild, slaps the table—“UNO, baby!”—only for A to hurl a sneaky Draw‑Two.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlPqY3dWczv
Laughter echoes against concrete walls.

LATE NIGHT
22Please respect copyright.PENANAODGyOGZ0dz
Cards abandoned, the three lounge in mismatched seats.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7mUAKdAIE7
JASON (lean back, relaxed)
“So, highlight of the week?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANARka1FMLJMW
SD‑A
“Barrel‑roll at sunrise.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAIWAfrN91BT
SD‑K
“Finding functional clothing.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANACflqClcvPC
JASON
“Not dying in seminar. Close race though.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAR33uHyzF7a
A gentle beep from the power grid; city curfew power‑dip. Lights dim to night mode—soft blue.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6bbPwymKSu
Jason stands, stretches.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4XEcmJ9otn
JASON
“Charge‑cycle time. Tomorrow’s patrol’s at dawn. No midnight welding, no toaster duels.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUCi5bcHlOS
SD‑K
“Counter‑proposal: midnight probability calculations.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVnGOYOX0Mh
JASON
“Do them silently.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ3l8VmKFI
A crawls onto the bed corner, trench‑coat blanket style. K resumes his ceiling hang (now with leather jacket). Jason sighs amused, flops onto his half of the mattress.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6Adb3fyjQ4
JASON (soft)
“Good chaos, guys. Night.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAI570IIQJ03
The spoon‑king watches in crooked silence as the cube powers down—one by one, visors dim, but a quiet contentment lingers.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlBBUFC0Anp
FADE OUT.
