EXT. CENTRAL CITY STREETS – EVENING

The trio strolls back toward the cube, the neon lights humming softly against the dusk. Jason still carries the medicine bag, but his mouth hasn't stopped moving since they left the store.

JASON (grinning like a devil)
"You know, of all the things you could've grabbed... You had to pick the robot intimacy enhancer. Real smooth, A. Real natural."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEjDLHzHIS
A trails behind, pulling the hoodie of his coat up in embarrassment.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOv8Cefij
A (grumbling)
"I just thought it looked nice..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6cTdJCkJp
JASON (mockingly sweet)
"Oh, sure. Next thing you know you’re pouring it into your coffee. 'Mmm, tastes like desperate mistakes.'"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlkDocLZTU
K chuckles lowly from behind his scarf, amused at the chaos.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNve9e9MS3t
A (defensive, mumbling)
"It wasn't on purpose..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmSZjfF3yJ
Jason snorts and shakes his head, then tosses a glance over his shoulder at the two.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEKJUXnYXj
JASON
"Which reminds me—since you two seem weirdly curious about it—might as well explain how robot babies are made."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntjnApRmDB
He clears his throat dramatically, making A and K visibly brace for whatever nonsense he's about to say.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9qqTnp7wm
JASON (mock teacher voice)
"Step one: No, you don’t just mash bodies together. We’re not cavemen. Sexual interactions? Fun, maybe—depending on your firmware—but totally useless for making kids."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzz6e7rvMC
A (wide-eyed)
"Then... how?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfd8FMXprC
Jason wiggles his fingers like he's sprinkling fairy dust.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJpOXg561
JASON
"Magical code-mixing, my innocent child. Two or more robots can combine their programs—their operating cores, their quirks, their bugs—and shove it into a data pod."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaVykhYsA0
He points a thumb to his head.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06HwQToJAd
JASON
"Once it’s in there, it starts developing a whole new program by itself, based on the stuff it inherited. It evolves, learns, becomes something unique."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRKj85pNNZ
K (casually)
"And gender?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaqXuU51mQ
JASON
"Pfft. Irrelevant. Code doesn’t care about meatspace nonsense. Two guys, two gals, one toaster and a vending machine—you name it, they can have a kid if they mix their programs right."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwYCrSB31M
A’s eyes light up with amazement, while K just looks faintly disturbed.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMUY9y8Taf
A
"So after...?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpBDnx03Kp
JASON
"After the code stabilizes, the pod pings the guardians. Then you yank the developing memory chip out and install it into a bigger, mobile body."
(beat)
"Congratulations, it’s a terrible toddler who’s gonna wreck your life."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBdmFilTZQ
A ponders this deeply, like he just unlocked some universal secret. Jason stretches, the bag of meds swinging on his wrist.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAiXyJ12ZJ
JASON (grinning)
"And that, my dearest creeps, is why society isn’t full of wild robot orgies—because love and babies are two different nightmares."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK9hiA7Yfm
They walk for a beat in silence, before Jason turns slightly toward K.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KQsgViBPS
JASON (curious)
"Ever seen any Purifiers have kids?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBsBoA3QUb
K shrugs casually, the city lights painting stripes of gold and blue across his jacket.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Qx3rdTDw
K
"We’re not social. We don’t build families. We hunt. We survive. Barely talk unless we have to. Most of us... don’t even think about it."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0fgKzxXUA
A (softly)
"That's... kind of lonely."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYAyXlm1aO
K (flatly)
"I like it that way."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ115g7DrdJ4
Jason hums thoughtfully, slowing his pace a little to walk between them.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ073n61sfl
JASON (casually)
"Well, congratulations. You're stuck in a 'family' now. No returns, no refunds."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueE4Sumqv6
A (smiling)
"I'm fine with that."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazMdw9AMoX
K (grumbling quietly)
"...Tolerable."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRXOTl8fJL
Jason just chuckles, shaking his head, as they turn onto the familiar street leading back toward the cube.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYDRtWSHld
FADE OUT.
