INT. THE CUBE – MORNING
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WxF2m2xIf
A knock rattles the door early in the morning.
A practically sprints to open it, his face lit up with an excitement usually reserved for cartoons and new snack deliveries.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoscfxqt2vq
He swings the door wide.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSTa2YU7yc
A (grinning)
"Good morning!!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaYMycz2CF
Standing outside are Josh Anderson and Violet Solace, both carrying bags and looking very... surprised.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MMcotx5m2
Josh blinks, his optics doing a little mechanical whirr as he takes in the tall, smiley bot who is definitely not Jason.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx1MXlq0rS
JOSH (awkwardly clearing his throat)
"Uh... hi? Is Jason here?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR49HJBBYIy
Before A can respond, Jason skids into view, still pulling a hoodie over his head and looking like he lost a fight with his own bed.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll9NJqVbll
JASON (huffing)
"Yeah, yeah, I’m here. Long story—roommates."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EoLxjm2zA
Josh raises a brow, but shrugs it off in classic Josh fashion—if it’s weird, it’s probably normal for Jason.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EXCIPBgyk
Violet, on the other hand, immediately grins like a shark spotting blood.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUoVXvIe9H
VIOLET (teasing)
"Roommates? What, you finally got sick of living with just your own depressing thoughts?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYbMFYOyj5
Jason rolls his eyes.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsVkGylv0r
JASON (grinning back)
"Yeah, figured I should diversify the mental illnesses around me."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd8Yrj9F5V
They both laugh like it’s the funniest thing ever.
Josh sighs, looking between them helplessly—clearly used to this dynamic.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5nP9LIXcp
Violet nudges Josh’s arm with an elbow.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNziwvdYiBq
VIOLET (smirking)
"Remember college? When I had to drag your sorry ass out of the laundry room 'cause someone glued your pants to the floor?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBWIdFSEBJ
JASON (cackling)
"Best prank of the semester. You were screaming like a kettle."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsc1iEJDfP
Josh mutters something about "trauma" and "therapy bills."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq3uph8dkq
VIOLET (mocking, to Jason)
"And you were always the bad influence. Top of the food chain."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegJwiecz2O
JASON (mock innocent)
"Hey, you were the one encouraging me! If I’m the poison, you're the damn delivery system."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz2FLZGchM
They both exchange an evil, nostalgic look.
Josh just groans dramatically, as if he'd aged a century just standing there.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6clCc0HK1J
Meanwhile, A gently cradles Emily—a small, egg-shaped data pod with a soft pulsing blue glow—like she’s made of clouds.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMO2CswM3
A (whispering, awed)
"She’s adorable."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIVAZRmti9
Violet softens a little, watching A hold the pod with such care.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKJ6WUAGl3
VIOLET (grinning)
"Take good care of her, alright? She likes soft humming noises and hates loud banging."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz65Weul3oe
Jason snorts.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHrZJfAdN
JASON (deadpan)
"Perfect. We’re a rock band of chaos and murder. What could go wrong?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm4cqZ6557
Josh gives a nervous chuckle, handing A a tiny manual titled "Emergency Data Pod Care" written in about 500 words of technobabble and legal threats.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYYSDJX7j1
JOSH (half-joking)
"If she explodes, you’re buying us a new kid."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqhsGjdpCW
JASON (saluting lazily)
"Sir, yes sir."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83JT2rQCfb
VIOLET (turning to leave, calling over her shoulder)
"Don’t let him teach her sarcasm before she even has legs!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRpgbdzXv6
JASON (mock-offended)
"Hey, sarcasm is a life skill!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJSbLA9xDF
The front door clicks shut after them.
Silence falls over the cube... broken only by the soft pulsing of the data pod.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXUUBFiHE4
Jason turns slowly to face A and K, hands on hips.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15wdxfw6oU
JASON (grimacing)
"Well, congratulations. We’re officially in charge of a tiny semi-sentient bean."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe42gH3Zlf
A cradles Emily proudly like he’s holding the future.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ruhGxAedn
K scribbles a doodle of a baby pod wielding a giant axe on the wall behind them.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeQWKmJR46
JASON (sighing)
"This... is gonna be a nightmare."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMUDjM5xr
FADE OUT.
