INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
93Please respect copyright.PENANAaWFtW9bTs3
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAeLKi8mVPLZ
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoGXb0Rm9n6
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAImHMCLQ7t9
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsRGxV1OVmi
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUbgbZJuRAj
His hand transforms with a smooth click-clack, a built-in grappling hook system snapping into place.
He fires it at the door.
SLAM—locks it tight.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAccN5efPXdA
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAOp48bbHUGQ
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHxzPtoGzZT
Violet quietly drags Josh down into a sitting position on the couch, whispering soothing "Shhh, breathe, babe" noises while Josh looks like he's about to either pass out or become a murderer.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAPFCYVl8uq4
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAM7JR7eM79E
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4ROBIOVMOZ
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
93Please respect copyright.PENANADdGAGHtdNh
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJlcgt9E54x
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvki29r5FIB
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAp6NJLishMt
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAISjf9DLyBR
Jason then spills the whole damn story—
From the weird Liberation aftermath, the first encounter with A and K, the chaotic living arrangement, up to now, all in one long, fast, slightly panicked ramble.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA6vW0cUrwAf
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAX20ttfi6Xc
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzLOQ3z9fsy
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWB8JmBjrJc
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAlERSEBjcNf
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
93Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hm4kOKydZ
Silence again.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAbtOSJzkHDz
Josh stares.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzqIgeK7EMd
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
93Please respect copyright.PENANABRSMCjbDgv
Emily gurgles happily.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxLksG7d9LX
Josh finally opens his mouth—
93Please respect copyright.PENANAcxiXyfPYDr
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
93Please respect copyright.PENANArnTZePlgp6
CUT TO BLACK.
