INT. THE CUBE – EARLY MORNING
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTlajy4Rc8
The golden light spills lazily into the room.
Dust particles dance like tiny fairies in the air.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5wsajz9P
Jason groans and rolls over, trying to bury himself deeper under the blanket like some kind of angry mole.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h53v5r7VO
JASON (muffled under the blanket)
"Why is existence so loud…?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQeEqZWn3g
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA72KCnKnmX
A (whispering)
"Survived the night… barely."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCJEITyLeL
K is already awake, sitting cross-legged by the wall, scribbling strange, unsettling doodles again like nothing ever happened.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaBHOfLV6J
Jason finally drags himself out of bed like he’s being summoned to his own execution.
His optic sensors are dim and half-shut.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIc6jGMG4g
He stumbles toward the kitchen corner like a sleep-deprived zombie.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvTXnQswso
JASON (grumbling to himself)
"Need… caffeine… now… or someone's getting set on fire…"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhBTmgJIBE
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iz7q12SAK
A watches, half-amused, half-concerned.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3z29CY10P
A
"You know, for someone who lectures about responsibility, you sure crumble fast."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjSzwTmg5z
Jason gives him a look that could kill a mid-range battle unit.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi2S4KQ4W4
JASON
"I didn't sign up to fight boss monsters at 3 AM."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwoZXXTCXF
K (without looking up from his drawings)
"You’re weak."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr1E0Tfx8U
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.)
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5VGbIEnV7
They eat quietly at first, still shaking off the remnants of their dreams.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWihcUUaY4g
Emily stirs, letting out a soft, whimpering noise.
A immediately picks her up and rocks her gently, while Jason sighs heavily into his coffee.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQz918vVhc
JASON (dryly)
"You're way too natural at this. Starting to think you were a dad in your past life."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg56hKhD9F
A (grinning slightly)
"Maybe I just have more patience than you."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P11gZgZ7A
JASON
"Patience is a scam invented by people who don’t have to deal with crying blobs at night."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv0lILOMKY
K, for once, chuckles under his breath—a rare, soft sound.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcn59KC5ct
Jason notices but doesn’t say anything, just quietly tucks that moment into the back of his mind.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKHwJIMHiX
Despite everything—the exhaustion, the chaos, the absolute loss of sanity—
there’s a strange peace filling the room.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7z4hIxkSt
Like maybe, just maybe, they’re figuring out how to be something almost like a family.
