EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
38Please respect copyright.PENANApK50CANhQZ
The trio steps out of the cozy warmth of Cabin Fever and into the amber-tinted streets. Jason stretches his arms over his head, a faint groan slipping out.
A hums a little tune, clutching a plastic bag with leftover pancakes, while K fiddles with a toothpick he stole from the counter.

JASON
"Alright, dynamic disasters. Meal's done. Now we’re running a couple errands."
38Please respect copyright.PENANA70yQsv16Cv
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAJhWoXkTumM
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
38Please respect copyright.PENANAqwceEzU9TO
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.
38Please respect copyright.PENANApEvpWFqdX2
JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
38Please respect copyright.PENANAIcImVcDYJZ
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
38Please respect copyright.PENANARoNdo9yE1D
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
38Please respect copyright.PENANAWim6yMYDfJ
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
38Please respect copyright.PENANArxYg6Ee5ky
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
38Please respect copyright.PENANAJvoS6r3bHp
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAKdlIE7FBBl
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
38Please respect copyright.PENANAXAbV4vVNMP
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
38Please respect copyright.PENANAb8QJmbvts9
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
38Please respect copyright.PENANAGD3sx0oVle
They turn the corner. Neon signs flicker and hum overhead as small shops and vendors line the streets, the city still a little restless after the HQ incident but trying to fake normalcy.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAiBY7Wk1w5Z
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
38Please respect copyright.PENANA1XGus4s5l8
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
38Please respect copyright.PENANAgKW6YJoNle
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
38Please respect copyright.PENANAS27ZKD3wi1
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
38Please respect copyright.PENANAXxZc6RzuQf
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
38Please respect copyright.PENANANJNYNhxCMT
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
38Please respect copyright.PENANATlQkmwDCLE
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.

FADE OUT.
