INT. THE CUBE – EARLY MORNING
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29CqCzSaz7
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGs0QQg8fd
JASON (muffled under the blanket)
"Why is existence so loud…?"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6jXxBiHd6
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHbhueIS5a
A (whispering)
"Survived the night… barely."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf7Cc2SC32
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV12tCbgoA
He stumbles toward the kitchen corner like a sleep-deprived zombie.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzGerVeQGj
JASON (grumbling to himself)
"Need… caffeine… now… or someone's getting set on fire…"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqdEangJOO
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFH26RIKEI
A watches, half-amused, half-concerned.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0GaXiEb4O
A
"You know, for someone who lectures about responsibility, you sure crumble fast."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEc6ljZG9h
Jason gives him a look that could kill a mid-range battle unit.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEGZ9UqgVy
JASON
"I didn't sign up to fight boss monsters at 3 AM."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTFVnLr2yX
K (without looking up from his drawings)
"You’re weak."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcOLI6gNj4
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.)
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs4XlJ9W3h
They eat quietly at first, still shaking off the remnants of their dreams.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWdf3MwmiX
Emily stirs, letting out a soft, whimpering noise.
A immediately picks her up and rocks her gently, while Jason sighs heavily into his coffee.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtdSxKiWn2
JASON (dryly)
"You're way too natural at this. Starting to think you were a dad in your past life."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwQHiwmuYT
A (grinning slightly)
"Maybe I just have more patience than you."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu5unTDJYg
JASON
"Patience is a scam invented by people who don’t have to deal with crying blobs at night."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQtJXM6JtY
K, for once, chuckles under his breath—a rare, soft sound.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIeILQRnYv
Jason notices but doesn’t say anything, just quietly tucks that moment into the back of his mind.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4QPMUzABO
Despite everything—the exhaustion, the chaos, the absolute loss of sanity—
there’s a strange peace filling the room.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53z7wDsAqV
Like maybe, just maybe, they’re figuring out how to be something almost like a family.
