INT. THE CUBE – STILL THAT DAMN MORNING
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FcmMgoRcF
Josh is still frozen.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UqES3Yxek
Mouth slightly open.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1cY63v959
Optics flickering.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmLfGDDw2u
Processor fans audibly whirring.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2hddqhlxk
He’s about two seconds away from blue-screening.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCg7ZObIJm
Violet, on the other hand, is vibing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAbnEfacCl
She leans forward from the couch, elbow on her knee, chin on palm, and smiles sweetly at A like they’re old friends.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MihrFqAVK
VIOLET (grinning)
“So, A—question.
If you had to... I don’t know... turn Jason into a battle mount during a Purification raid, where would you install the saddle?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWvr8Nsybs
Jason lifts his head just enough from the blanket to glare at her with one glowing optic.
Horrified.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzk3cwSTI0
A blinks. Processing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaPL8YBTkI
Clearly not understanding it’s a joke, he thinks for a moment with a hand on his chin.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXvg7aTcFi
A (serious tone)
“I’d say upper back region.
Between the shoulder joints for optimal balance.
He’s sturdy enough to carry one full-grown unit and a side-arm drone.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhtCV6u869
Jason groans in spiritual pain, then collapses again, face-down into the blanket, limbs dangling lifelessly over the couch like a crime scene outline.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drOgGU73x
JASON (muffled, desperate)
"Why am I friends with her. Why.
Why did I agree to babysit.
Why is my life like this."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC187s8zHt
A gently pats Jason’s back, hand resting lightly between his shoulders in a comforting rhythm.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx92zMQHR6
Exactly like a parent consoling a five-year-old after they dropped their lollipop.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqZ0UgUlaS
Meanwhile, Josh is still stuck in Loading...
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHM07dsCww
His eyes just kind of glow in a disconnected way, and he’s whispering the same phrase over and over.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvM7dT5CdN
JOSH (softly, repeatedly)
“They’re Purification bots... in a cube... with a child... in a cube... with Purification bots…”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhFJpq8gri
K leans against the wall beside him, arms crossed, looking mildly empathetic.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzaSWCoyY
He gives Josh a slow nod like a monk who’s seen things.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVZhtPE8Fv
K (calmly)
“I know your feelings, mate.
Living with these emotionally unstable psychopaths... it’s exhausting.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiHZlG1eW1
Josh turns his head slowly toward K, optics twitching.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoJ01CTVwU
JOSH (numb)
"You live here too."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb0AaHC8OS
K
“Exactly.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawL4huSW0D
Jason lets out a pathetic pffff into the blanket.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WTNVTwSsg
JASON (still muffled)
“He’s not wrong.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eMRBwiNir
A (innocently)
"I don't think I'm emotionally unstable. I log emotions properly and react within functional range."
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqxdCY3opQ
VIOLET (chuckling)
“Oh, sweetie, you tried. That’s cute.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxL708uXDV
Emily lets out a little chirp from Violet’s lap, reaching a tiny arm toward Jason’s collapsed body.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDvoUBopyf
JASON (groaning as he turns his head)
“No, child. Don’t come to me. I’m dead.
Go to your emotionally stable murder uncle.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ToRr11zV9
A chuckles softly and shifts closer to Jason, sitting down beside him while gently dragging the blanket up over his shoulders.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTHQCx5i6s
It’s peaceful.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUBitI5EXR
In that deeply unhinged kind of way.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvhZkYHd4o
FADE OUT.
