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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJLg3Jm6if
A trails behind, pulling the hoodie of his coat up in embarrassment.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR1NXJCfWC
A (grumbling)
"I just thought it looked nice..."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKB8artcfN
JASON (mockingly sweet)
"Oh, sure. Next thing you know you’re pouring it into your coffee. 'Mmm, tastes like desperate mistakes.'"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsIQ7sR2Z1
K chuckles lowly from behind his scarf, amused at the chaos.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qfJMwLcW5
A (defensive, mumbling)
"It wasn't on purpose..."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pTOPk2M2D
Jason snorts and shakes his head, then tosses a glance over his shoulder at the two.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZY7CyXnfi
JASON
"Which reminds me—since you two seem weirdly curious about it—might as well explain how robot babies are made."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrYzpv8GNm
He clears his throat dramatically, making A and K visibly brace for whatever nonsense he's about to say.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXfJAsFXrn
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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu63pV3pQcj
A (wide-eyed)
"Then... how?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3BDYyr6q7
Jason wiggles his fingers like he's sprinkling fairy dust.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tnB0LAT8T
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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34nRSwpoSC
He points a thumb to his head.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQHu0RD5VW
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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS6br1UbcG
K (casually)
"And gender?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP81lgpW1c
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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NpFlOcodz
A’s eyes light up with amazement, while K just looks faintly disturbed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY7ivK2fyJ
A
"So after...?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxb3c8kHJO
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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirOHHsuJes
A ponders this deeply, like he just unlocked some universal secret. Jason stretches, the bag of meds swinging on his wrist.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxk2aE4EZq
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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLd5a21WVw
They walk for a beat in silence, before Jason turns slightly toward K.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8X9BfKuct
JASON (curious)
"Ever seen any Purifiers have kids?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdRREFDeyo
K shrugs casually, the city lights painting stripes of gold and blue across his jacket.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrmLeEWVp6
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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgbNxqbwR
A (softly)
"That's... kind of lonely."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptDsPxRADF
K (flatly)
"I like it that way."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis8Y6kwd4i
Jason hums thoughtfully, slowing his pace a little to walk between them.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4vY0kYbnr
JASON (casually)
"Well, congratulations. You're stuck in a 'family' now. No returns, no refunds."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjaFFaIcPg
A (smiling)
"I'm fine with that."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5BAro9r6q
K (grumbling quietly)
"...Tolerable."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiRlgckMWw
Jason just chuckles, shaking his head, as they turn onto the familiar street leading back toward the cube.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WWYJG1sTq
FADE OUT.
