INT. THE CUBE – STILL THAT DAMN MORNING
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzcrQEYdvR
Josh is still frozen.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxLryabscD
Mouth slightly open.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5OnTfdBNO
Optics flickering.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoXxnwxr9O
Processor fans audibly whirring.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXY8mtceFX
He’s about two seconds away from blue-screening.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l9xJZNg3L
Violet, on the other hand, is vibing.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLhEjRR32h
She leans forward from the couch, elbow on her knee, chin on palm, and smiles sweetly at A like they’re old friends.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJJp3lM5Ib
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?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVwvp8tb5n
Jason lifts his head just enough from the blanket to glare at her with one glowing optic.
Horrified.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF3srgltVs
A blinks. Processing.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJecj7JPo2P
Clearly not understanding it’s a joke, he thinks for a moment with a hand on his chin.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTmtLWzVer
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRcJ8Ukjwk
Jason groans in spiritual pain, then collapses again, face-down into the blanket, limbs dangling lifelessly over the couch like a crime scene outline.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsWehAOhIp
JASON (muffled, desperate)
"Why am I friends with her. Why.
Why did I agree to babysit.
Why is my life like this."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroqgjfxXaf
A gently pats Jason’s back, hand resting lightly between his shoulders in a comforting rhythm.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHZFNaUTjh
Exactly like a parent consoling a five-year-old after they dropped their lollipop.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcSQ1KLQxx
Meanwhile, Josh is still stuck in Loading...
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY7o9TZtwI
His eyes just kind of glow in a disconnected way, and he’s whispering the same phrase over and over.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvB5l1m8IH
JOSH (softly, repeatedly)
“They’re Purification bots... in a cube... with a child... in a cube... with Purification bots…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSaWyjNY9D
K leans against the wall beside him, arms crossed, looking mildly empathetic.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneDRuyfIPR
He gives Josh a slow nod like a monk who’s seen things.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudb2C9kzrn
K (calmly)
“I know your feelings, mate.
Living with these emotionally unstable psychopaths... it’s exhausting.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sNYsIurpM
Josh turns his head slowly toward K, optics twitching.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2NU2SaXQb
JOSH (numb)
"You live here too."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqYNg1ULXx
K
“Exactly.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkixKHHFA8
Jason lets out a pathetic pffff into the blanket.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoWzGfcpRF
JASON (still muffled)
“He’s not wrong.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BJK2HYkDt
A (innocently)
"I don't think I'm emotionally unstable. I log emotions properly and react within functional range."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e6lpsn0hH
VIOLET (chuckling)
“Oh, sweetie, you tried. That’s cute.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2CJRSvK21
Emily lets out a little chirp from Violet’s lap, reaching a tiny arm toward Jason’s collapsed body.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaQi3MKs0j
JASON (groaning as he turns his head)
“No, child. Don’t come to me. I’m dead.
Go to your emotionally stable murder uncle.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntW1mA2NVN
A chuckles softly and shifts closer to Jason, sitting down beside him while gently dragging the blanket up over his shoulders.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vcxTyKqhX
It’s peaceful.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8X0x5dbcJ
In that deeply unhinged kind of way.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvVRkVsbwy
FADE OUT.
