EXT. CABIN FEVER RESTAURANT – LATE AFTERNOON
214Please respect copyright.PENANAbDdGjizBtP
The trio slows as they approach a worn wooden door, its non-electric sign creaking slightly above—
"CABIN FEVER", hand-painted in chipped white letters.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAKVGP9cNvRq
K (snorting)
"Cabin Fever. Very inviting. Like they’re advertising diseases now."
214Please respect copyright.PENANAsZy545cvJI
JASON (grinning)
"Better than it looks. Trust me. Plus, no one’s died here. Recently."
214Please respect copyright.PENANA5FjuKWtrxj
A (brightly)
"That's a comforting statistic!"
214Please respect copyright.PENANAC4hTVkEIxd
Jason pushes the door open, letting the smell of grilled food and old wood waft over them.

INT. CABIN FEVER RESTAURANT – CONTINUOUS
214Please respect copyright.PENANACXuJKnH85Y
Warm yellow lights spill over dark wooden booths and creaky floors.
The place has the vibe of a mansion someone gave up halfway through building, but in a cozy way.
The few customers inside barely glance up before returning to their steaming plates.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAVQfkNReqcb
Jason leads them to a booth tucked in the back corner, naturally shadowed but close to an emergency exit—old habits die hard.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAFiFtgeL5Kh
They slip into the booth: Jason on one side, K and A crammed onto the other, K already surveying every escape route.
214Please respect copyright.PENANA1inBbvTkTP
Before Jason can even finish scanning the handwritten menu, a figure emerges from the kitchen—
VINCENT, the heavyset owner with a permanent tired smile, wipes his hands on his apron and lumbers over.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAaTu9R9UtLg
VINCENT (gruffly, but warmly)
"Well, I'll be damned. Jason Gearman, in the flesh. And with company this time, huh?"
214Please respect copyright.PENANArSLJqoRDsx
Jason flashes an easy, guilty grin.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAzZOOVkdVMa
JASON
"Yeah, figured I'd stop being a sad loner... Y'know. Start a robot band or something."
214Please respect copyright.PENANAXNcV2EiYMI
Vincent chuckles, looking over at A and K with a raised brow.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAsJHyL1ZcqC
VINCENT
"Friends of yours? Thought you only brought that grumpy repair guy around."
214Please respect copyright.PENANAqxtRCjF3uf
JASON (waving vaguely)
"Yeah, uh, new coworkers. From... a different department. Very exclusive."
214Please respect copyright.PENANAXslaD2Gsa8
K offers a stiff nod. A beams way too brightly, causing Vincent to blink once, slowly.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAgLs4CqMDGi
VINCENT (playing along)
"Uh-huh. Well, any friend of Jason’s is tolerated here. You want the usual?"
214Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZJz1rbrs0
JASON
"Yeah, and these two... uh, menu’s open for 'em. They’re celebrating."
214Please respect copyright.PENANA7NaEZCdHre
Vincent scribbles something down and disappears with a grunt.
214Please respect copyright.PENANADjSE6OjuHi
The three settle back. Jason leans his elbow on the table, giving A and K a look.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3KsFkLneZ
JASON (mock whispering)
"Okay, act normal. No stabbing, no staring contests, no threatening the food."
214Please respect copyright.PENANADHgdPoY5xT
K (sarcastic)
"Define normal."
214Please respect copyright.PENANAk6gKsgt9AR
A (cheerful)
"I want something sweet and something crunchy!"
214Please respect copyright.PENANAe00lDBF4iB
Jason laughs under his breath, feeling the tension drain from his shoulders for the first time in days.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAPD6HbnfnlK
Outside the restaurant, the city churns on, but in this little pocket of battered booths and mismatched silverware—
for now, it’s just them.
214Please respect copyright.PENANAOlyG6osvoA
FADE OUT.
