EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
15Please respect copyright.PENANAEnVnoNGR3U
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."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAquiJrV7PXw
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAPCma4PwwGR
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
15Please respect copyright.PENANAoVmvATkJsu
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA0DvnRiWICy
JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAm8v31bqe2l
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
15Please respect copyright.PENANAgJKBjA6eX0
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAoKgZs3KHew
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAKPbFYdm5Zq
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
15Please respect copyright.PENANA8hsjkopZfU
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAQDlShUicAi
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAd4MOKBRyV4
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
15Please respect copyright.PENANA79Z5tVU27q
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAFUVeYyRow1
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Qlj4hf0m
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAAzUizHFLC2
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAlHwzWmGRNt
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
15Please respect copyright.PENANA9mCJFkSreg
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
15Please respect copyright.PENANAcLL3s2TH03
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAoQloP82eYl
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
15Please respect copyright.PENANAbt9xEkgbSw
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAd4cIiq7bge
FADE OUT.
