INT. THE CUBE – EVENING

The door swings shut behind them with a soft clack. The trio disperses into their usual corners of chaos.

Jason tosses the medicine bag onto the kitchen shelf, sorting bottles into the half-empty cabinets with a low sigh. Across the room, A sprawls out onto the bed, nose already buried in the new book he picked at the store. K, meanwhile, grabs a scrap of paper and a black pen, sketching something that looks deeply concerning—a mass of twisted limbs and hollow eyes.

JASON (over his shoulder, muttering)
"You better not be drawing what I think you’re drawing, K."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxczeBxZcnN
K (without looking up)
"No promises."

Jason rolls his eyes and heads into the bathroom, peeling off his jacket as the shower kicks on with a hiss of steam. The door clicks shut behind him.

Silence settles for a moment, until—BEEP-BEEP—Jason's texter buzzes loudly on the kitchen counter.

A glances up from his book, curious. He hops off the bed and picks up the device, the screen still glowing. A new message blinks:

> Josh Anderson:
Hey, Jason! Are you free tomorrow? Violet and I have a reunion. Can you babysit Emily for a few hours? She’s still in the pod, so it's easy. Thanks, bro!

A tilts his head, thinking.
Shrugging, he types back:

> A:
Sure!

Just as he puts the texter down, Jason’s voice echoes from inside the bathroom.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatsLV0NCE2
JASON (calling out)
"Hey, who’s texting me?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTVb5NFS9j
A (loudly, innocent)
"Josh. He’s asking if we can babysit a data pod tomorrow. I said yes. You don't mind, right?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoWTrIXp8M
A beat of silence.
Then the sound of Jason’s forehead slamming against the shower wall.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g73rfvaOK
JASON (muffled, pained groan)
"Why—why—would you think it's appropriate to let me—literally the worst adult in three factions—and you two homicidal maniacs babysit a kid?!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz4ELCZD0j
A (cheerfully)
"Because you like kids?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt32WXQ8fGv
JASON (in existential agony)
"I like other people's kids when they're far away! Not when they’re in the blast radius!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOO33n9ugJ
K snickers darkly from his seat on the floor.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pBbZHmPJC
K (deadpan)
"Don't worry. If the pod gets corrupted, we'll just raise it into a weapon of destruction."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngQkL4t6HS
JASON (yelling from the shower)
"THAT DOESN'T HELP!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsc6SK3nDA
A picks up his book again, smiling as if he’s already proud of their upcoming mission.
Tomorrow was definitely going to be something.

FADE OUT.
