INT. THE CUBE – STILL THAT DAMN MORNING
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsXxsDmxM9
Josh is still frozen.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDzeCQATdF
Mouth slightly open.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwosAdMB2q
Optics flickering.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQFIQVzyUC
Processor fans audibly whirring.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9gVpY1vCZ
He’s about two seconds away from blue-screening.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb1Rrhq6Sc
Violet, on the other hand, is vibing.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO22JI3vXC
She leans forward from the couch, elbow on her knee, chin on palm, and smiles sweetly at A like they’re old friends.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCHhj5jhzO
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?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZIEqQTwAJ
Jason lifts his head just enough from the blanket to glare at her with one glowing optic.
Horrified.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUVzTAYOaJ
A blinks. Processing.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgHb4xU5I
Clearly not understanding it’s a joke, he thinks for a moment with a hand on his chin.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOGcLrjKfM
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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3e06YVHrU
Jason groans in spiritual pain, then collapses again, face-down into the blanket, limbs dangling lifelessly over the couch like a crime scene outline.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPyjCIETjT
JASON (muffled, desperate)
"Why am I friends with her. Why.
Why did I agree to babysit.
Why is my life like this."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8hqdXscpC
A gently pats Jason’s back, hand resting lightly between his shoulders in a comforting rhythm.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NFyQc10LO
Exactly like a parent consoling a five-year-old after they dropped their lollipop.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ZFugXc3q
Meanwhile, Josh is still stuck in Loading...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl9PbYYGGD
His eyes just kind of glow in a disconnected way, and he’s whispering the same phrase over and over.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzVBfUjnkx
JOSH (softly, repeatedly)
“They’re Purification bots... in a cube... with a child... in a cube... with Purification bots…”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqbBgmO79z
K leans against the wall beside him, arms crossed, looking mildly empathetic.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuw15p0Wbh
He gives Josh a slow nod like a monk who’s seen things.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHssNcaKWq
K (calmly)
“I know your feelings, mate.
Living with these emotionally unstable psychopaths... it’s exhausting.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqK3Anj7pe
Josh turns his head slowly toward K, optics twitching.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ1NoWYBH8
JOSH (numb)
"You live here too."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfBCnrZoV3
K
“Exactly.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZycKHVPcW
Jason lets out a pathetic pffff into the blanket.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanUOhFEt5m
JASON (still muffled)
“He’s not wrong.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yX2KiIfGs
A (innocently)
"I don't think I'm emotionally unstable. I log emotions properly and react within functional range."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf3VYIcfMQ
VIOLET (chuckling)
“Oh, sweetie, you tried. That’s cute.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vP8xmLZ7G
Emily lets out a little chirp from Violet’s lap, reaching a tiny arm toward Jason’s collapsed body.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY9iFU7a6w
JASON (groaning as he turns his head)
“No, child. Don’t come to me. I’m dead.
Go to your emotionally stable murder uncle.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjtPcS3I3v
A chuckles softly and shifts closer to Jason, sitting down beside him while gently dragging the blanket up over his shoulders.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwNXZPPqkq
It’s peaceful.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqcvZkrX4J
In that deeply unhinged kind of way.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgYpXuMYk8
FADE OUT.
