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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKVqinYdnG
A trails behind, pulling the hoodie of his coat up in embarrassment.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsqP54qGTP
A (grumbling)
"I just thought it looked nice..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4M2eOv1TW
JASON (mockingly sweet)
"Oh, sure. Next thing you know you’re pouring it into your coffee. 'Mmm, tastes like desperate mistakes.'"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9yM37bpHd
K chuckles lowly from behind his scarf, amused at the chaos.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvbRBfr5fs
A (defensive, mumbling)
"It wasn't on purpose..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRWxhUuX5m
Jason snorts and shakes his head, then tosses a glance over his shoulder at the two.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3hz41jG5a
JASON
"Which reminds me—since you two seem weirdly curious about it—might as well explain how robot babies are made."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE8ld6bwCj
He clears his throat dramatically, making A and K visibly brace for whatever nonsense he's about to say.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ2LdOfYXp
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYlGfyYwAN
A (wide-eyed)
"Then... how?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30GQ3M286U
Jason wiggles his fingers like he's sprinkling fairy dust.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy4Xcj7BSf
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBKPDiAEU
He points a thumb to his head.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBtlj6VDD9
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevEqLwWmPt
K (casually)
"And gender?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsKY7HkIsb
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELPbYAbHzp
A’s eyes light up with amazement, while K just looks faintly disturbed.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0GnBXWV3f
A
"So after...?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrXvdog9Y3
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5mSluxIqR
A ponders this deeply, like he just unlocked some universal secret. Jason stretches, the bag of meds swinging on his wrist.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbCJeuvvnH
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8jwcOWANZ
They walk for a beat in silence, before Jason turns slightly toward K.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jdX3PXYdB
JASON (curious)
"Ever seen any Purifiers have kids?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGZDFUwGMW
K shrugs casually, the city lights painting stripes of gold and blue across his jacket.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiylNEOK1Xm
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcSh9iOwX4
A (softly)
"That's... kind of lonely."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EbcyidjP8
K (flatly)
"I like it that way."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhGyqNqqK7
Jason hums thoughtfully, slowing his pace a little to walk between them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWv1YbE05i
JASON (casually)
"Well, congratulations. You're stuck in a 'family' now. No returns, no refunds."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tOv8PyWrH
A (smiling)
"I'm fine with that."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLbPqMOZgK
K (grumbling quietly)
"...Tolerable."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuTEq3BAor
Jason just chuckles, shaking his head, as they turn onto the familiar street leading back toward the cube.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6vHIcCegr
FADE OUT.
