INT. THE CUBE – EARLY MORNING
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfuQ0DdZ8Q
The golden light spills lazily into the room.
Dust particles dance like tiny fairies in the air.

Jason groans and rolls over, trying to bury himself deeper under the blanket like some kind of angry mole.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBB7wcRrja
JASON (muffled under the blanket)
"Why is existence so loud…?"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lop2dLTEs
A sits up first, looking strangely refreshed considering last night’s chaos.
He gently checks Emily, who’s still asleep—small, steady breaths puffing from the little data pod.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo91lQlis1T
A (whispering)
"Survived the night… barely."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJYiThh2ZH
K is already awake, sitting cross-legged by the wall, scribbling strange, unsettling doodles again like nothing ever happened.

Jason finally drags himself out of bed like he’s being summoned to his own execution.
His optic sensors are dim and half-shut.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNwy6nxKi4
He stumbles toward the kitchen corner like a sleep-deprived zombie.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNK3oDBoM4
JASON (grumbling to himself)
"Need… caffeine… now… or someone's getting set on fire…"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ic7eITSq
He fumbles with the coffee machine, hitting the wrong buttons, muttering dark curses at every beep it makes.
Finally, a cup of burning hot coffee brews, and Jason clutches it like a lifeline.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4dElHuwYH
A watches, half-amused, half-concerned.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4oOiGeua1
A
"You know, for someone who lectures about responsibility, you sure crumble fast."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yFl94DjaO
Jason gives him a look that could kill a mid-range battle unit.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd2wtuodPW
JASON
"I didn't sign up to fight boss monsters at 3 AM."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4HiipGO20
K (without looking up from his drawings)
"You’re weak."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdaQRCHza0
Jason flips him off half-heartedly, too tired to even argue properly.

After a while, A makes some simple breakfast—basic nutrient packs heated and served with something resembling synthetic eggs.
(They’re suspiciously bright orange. No one asks why.)
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkGiSGd32d
They eat quietly at first, still shaking off the remnants of their dreams.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3WBI0A7r8
Emily stirs, letting out a soft, whimpering noise.
A immediately picks her up and rocks her gently, while Jason sighs heavily into his coffee.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbgs7jLShO
JASON (dryly)
"You're way too natural at this. Starting to think you were a dad in your past life."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG85JYT7Wru
A (grinning slightly)
"Maybe I just have more patience than you."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79vb6PWwto
JASON
"Patience is a scam invented by people who don’t have to deal with crying blobs at night."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWyqFKE1aC
K, for once, chuckles under his breath—a rare, soft sound.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0hCgAyVFq
Jason notices but doesn’t say anything, just quietly tucks that moment into the back of his mind.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W5XqiHwoU
Despite everything—the exhaustion, the chaos, the absolute loss of sanity—
there’s a strange peace filling the room.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXDlrYUham
Like maybe, just maybe, they’re figuring out how to be something almost like a family.
