INT. THE CUBE – LATE MORNING
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQVK5eyrZI
The three sit around the cube’s makeshift living room—a lumpy couch, a tiny table, and now, a pristine blanket laid carefully on the floor where Emily’s data pod rests, humming softly.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nlinO2gbF
K crouches nearby, gently adjusting a tiny cooling patch on the pod's surface like a practiced medic.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblMcV04xjd
JASON (muttering, impressed)
"Wow. Didn’t think you of all murder gremlins would be the motherly type."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9LFlYiMwb
K flicks his optic lazily toward Jason, then returns to fussing over the pod.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHkE66jsd
K (flatly)
"Efficient survival ensures the continuity of species."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpmKISoV94
JASON (grinning)
"Translation: You like the kid, admit it."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iq4x77gaj
A sits beside the pod with a storybook—not that Emily can read yet, but it doesn’t stop him from showing her colorful illustrations.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6GEUjLu7g
A (brightly, to Emily)
"This is a cow! It goes ‘moo.’ This is a firetruck! It goes ‘woo-woo!’ And this is Jason—he goes 'aaaaah' when he stubs his toe."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKMFvJ62st
Jason throws a pillow at A’s head.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cIBHeuo3s
JASON (snickering)
"At least I don’t split my face open to eat a sandwich."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93RI48EqDt
A smirks and ruffles Emily’s pod surface softly.
The room feels weirdly warm... normal.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANyzLwIMVs
Jason, ever the corrupting influence, leans closer to the pod conspiratorially.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYsH6nQRJw
JASON (whispering to Emily)
"Listen up, kid. First rule of survival—never pay for overpriced coolant at chain stores. And second rule—always insult your enemies’ processors before you smash 'em."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HzeqySvrr
Emily’s pod hums innocently.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8pSHeoZMf
Before he can spill more questionable wisdom, A’s optic narrows dangerously.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCtihiFoLo
A (sternly)
"Jason Gearman, you are banned from education duties."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaLdqBa89w
JASON (mock hurt)
"WHAT? I was giving life lessons!"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W3CaPfiD5
A (folding arms)
"Corner. Now."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rwAQOMzQv
K silently points to the farthest, saddest corner of the cube.
Jason trudges over dramatically, slumping against the wall like a punished cat.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd2S2b14Aj
JASON (grumbling)
"This is oppression."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyXOymvlWO
K (deadpan)
"You deserve worse."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSKnlgVB5R

TIME SKIP – MIDDAY
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA8RttdLXx
Emily naps peacefully on her blanket.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32MtuTXlUF
Jason sneaks back to the couch, only to find A and K deep in conversation—of all things—about robot intimacy systems.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rMBzmsLM
A (curious, whispering)
"I still don’t get it. So when two robots... you know... how does it even work?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEU9uV6e5R
Jason perks up immediately, sensing forbidden topics.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj0tnLwPSg
JASON (grinning like the devil)
"Well, it's more code-based than... physical. Technically, you don’t need a body to mix code. Two bots sync their operating systems and allow their base codes to interact."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinRVzWJtc3
K hums thoughtfully.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjyw4hymC
K (tapping chin)
"Programs exchanging information at core level... sounds like a strategic resource merge."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQUxL4Xub
A (wide-eyed)
"And... babies happen when their codes mix, right?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2QYtEfGow
JASON (nodding)
"Yup. Two codes—sometimes more if you're into complicated networks—merge and start a self-writing program inside a data pod. It grows on its own, bit by bit, until the pod tells you it’s ready to be upgraded to a proper body."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQj0oYHnch
A thinks about it seriously.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDIEjkkBEJ
A (tilting head)
"So technically, two robots of the same model, same type... even same gender identity... can still have a kid?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wqFNtSZhD
JASON (grinning)
"Exactly. No squishy biology bullshit. Pure logic... and chaos."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne9OGixTXD
K (murmuring)
"Efficient."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcig6YA6hx
Jason leans back smugly.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sCr6EupAM
JASON (grinning wider)
"Romance, marriage, all that? Optional. But if two idiots love each other enough to smash their codes together and raise a tiny chaos gremlin... well, that's commitment."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMEOSaWiEV
A looks down at Emily's sleeping pod.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUYb8IerlR
A (softly)
"Sounds nice."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJsE3wYIpW
Jason, noticing the tone, shifts a little uncomfortably.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY7HDhqz2I
JASON (teasing, but a little gentle)
"You planning to make tiny yous one day, A?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaWZuGM7HX
A (smiling shyly)
"Maybe. One day."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhms7fa0AN
K shrugs.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS30qXhPEuq
K (calm)
"Would be nice to have backup."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ckv7XFRT
Jason bursts out laughing at that answer.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEc5ekOpEB
The chaos continues—Jason tries to sneak-feed Emily "forbidden knowledge" about tax fraud, gets caught again and sentenced to another round in the Sad Corner.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy76mhi9igw
Meanwhile, A and K actually turn out to be amazing babysitters.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO0R4SgEr1
The afternoon passes in a weird bubble of peace, laughter, and the tiny sound of Emily’s happy humming.
