INT. THE CUBE – LATE MORNING
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sl0AyToog
Knock, knock, knock.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0CQ85B6bT
Jason drags himself to the door and swings it open lazily.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZ34RDKcn
Josh and Violet stand there.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHUayYrUrD
Josh looks absolutely wrecked—
his optics are dim and unfocused, his steps wobbly, and he keeps grabbing Violet’s shoulder to stop himself from face-planting on the floor.
Meanwhile, Violet looks as bright and energized as if she just came back from a week-long vacation at a luxury spa.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQkruFsRQ2
Jason stares at them for a long, slow second.

JASON (deadpan, smug)
"Did you guys like… just crawl outta some shady motel or something?"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyML7bRNru
Violet grins with a too-innocent shrug, her optics sparkling mischievously.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFmxHnqqJL
VIOLET
"Maybe."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQzW93iIee
Jason recoils slightly, groaning like he’s just been physically assaulted by secondhand embarrassment.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9qL2TTlzg
JASON (muttering under his breath)
"Not responsible parenting, I swear to every known and unknown god…"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc16r3Ex4B
Violet pats him on the head patronizingly as she walks in.
Josh stumbles in behind her like a dying man who’s seen things—
terrible things.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvy33FCT9
They gather in the main room. A, K, and Jason chatting briefly with Josh and Violet about how the night went (glossing over the "emotional breakdown" parts).
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2iwb4nlmy
Josh eventually tries to hold Emily.
Everything seems fine—until Violet shifts to grab her coffee and accidentally knocks Emily’s data pod loose from Josh’s unsteady grip.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0i2fObjDb
Time slows to a crawl.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gx9dHwyeQ
The data pod slips from Josh’s hands, falling through the air.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ506KkrY1U9
Jason’s optics widen in horror.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrLobF53gR
K even looks concerned for a split-second.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbcbDPy8bl
A moves faster than thought—his wing, sharp and precise like a blade, snaps out and catches Emily mid-air, cradling her gently with the soft membrane.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgldne9Hxpi
Silence.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LOHUv60R6
Everyone freezes.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVOisIj2xN
Josh’s jaw drops.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oExLnOVLH
Violet’s coffee sloshes onto the floor.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuloYZOJ8d
K stops doodling and actually blinks.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIjC6NmY5m
Jason stares blankly for a moment, then plants his face in both hands with a long, tortured groan.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCzchYHHhd
JASON (miserably)
"My fucking life…"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgg4PsDlIA
CUT TO BLACK.
