Robotic Essences - SCENE 73 – "A Promise, A Vacation"

INT. JASON'S CUBE – AFTERNOON

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtOMFdKb7N

The lazy golden light of the afternoon drips through the dusty windows.

The cube, cluttered as usual, hums with a strange, easygoing energy.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzUuph0Cnx

Jason sprawls on the couch, one arm thrown over his optics, half-napping.

A sits on the floor nearby, fiddling with the battered texter Jason gave him days ago, occasionally sneaking glances to make sure Jason's still there.

K occupies himself on the other side of the room, poking through some ancient board games they rescued from the fridge, looking deeply unimpressed.

It’s been a strange adjustment—Jason actually staying put for more than a few hours.

But he’s keeping his promise.

Three days off. No patrols. No HQ calls. No Maglev rides straight into explosions.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64ShZKG5xc

Just... this.

Him.

The cube.

And the two weirdos he somehow ended up calling family.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iAwVGjxMi

JASON (groaning into his arm)

"...This is the first time I've taken more than one day off since, like, my fifth body frame upgrade."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjU74VH1Ci

A looks up from the texter.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdd5XszOAG

A (gently)

"You needed it. You still need it."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivtQ1k6pxW

Jason snorts, rolling his head to the side to squint at A.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsICZnU55pJ

JASON

"Yeah, yeah. 'Rest or else,' huh? Is that an official order from Commander Worrywart?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIRLUe3Qru

A’s optics flicker slightly, but he nods.

Jason tries not to smile too much at that.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Gzs8zkYT

Across the room, K flips the lid off an ancient, battered UNO box, sifting through the dusty cards.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z4O3N62pB

K (flatly)

"These are all sticky. I think something died in here."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgioX86SM2

Jason waves a hand lazily.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINa5SaeglA

JASON

"Welcome to the cube. Everything's either sticky, broken, or cursed."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBgtI9TNLq

K (deadpan)

"Or all three."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ5A6e9DWo

Jason chuckles quietly.

The easy flow of conversation, the warmth despite the mess—he didn’t realize how much he missed... this.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzUfDdfsWs

Just being.

Not running.

Not fighting.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCBI3yeZlm

A leans back on his hands, tilting his head.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo7D53b8o5

"...We should do something. To celebrate."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F5aye5FIr

Jason raises an eyebrow.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKlEschxBR

JASON

"What, you wanna throw me a 'Congrats For Not Dying' party?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7PLnTx7iq

A (serious)

"Yes."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL67CjRg8t

Jason blinks.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYWTsq3wIf

Then barks out a laugh that startles even K into looking up.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDWTp3xNOo

JASON (grinning)

"Alright. Fine. But only if I get a crown and a parade."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIaF1iBgJ4

K tosses a UNO card at him without looking.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p37dKBZie

"Your funeral."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R0j0Sbhfd

Jason catches the card lazily, still grinning.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQujCAsvre5

The cube hums with the sound of the old ventilation kicking on, the texter buzzing with some notification A ignores, the lazy rhythm of a life Jason didn’t realize he was starting to crave.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMT68t8hxp

Outside, the city rumbles on—chaotic, broken, alive.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorTSId2QM1

But in here?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ObBNo8HM

Here, things are... okay.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57LugscOIQ

At least for now.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVZtUKgleO

FADE OUT.
