INT. THE CUBE – EVENING
228Please respect copyright.PENANATGAt5aLbBs
The room is dimly lit now, orange light from the window fading into deeper blue as the sky darkens. The TV glows brightly in the corner, illuminating their faces with giant robot fights and dramatic soundtracks.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAfKe7iDuRQC
ON SCREEN: “PACIFIC RIM”
Explosions. Jaegers. Kaiju. The world-ending chaos Jason loves.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA0GVnxw7VlK
Jason’s sitting dead center on the couch, eyes wide, holding a bowl of oil-sprayed popcorn. A sits upright next to him, focused with textbook intensity. K is on the floor, back against the bed, arms folded, looking extremely unimpressed.

JASON (grinning like a kid)
“This. This is cinema. Art. Poetry. Soul. Purpose.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA39eV8RBUcx
K (dryly)
“This is… glorified metal-on-monster fanfiction.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAqcXpURUzNl
Jason slowly turns his head toward K, narrow-eyed, as if betrayed.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAa6YZwrHgiP
JASON
“Take. That. Back.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAdJLPj3iHBW
K (without flinching)
“It’s like if someone gave a ten-year-old unlimited CGI and a brain injury.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANARqvaum2Gxv
JASON
“You’re hurting me.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAqrv1URjnIm
A glances over, noticing Jason’s horror and K’s pure neutrality. Then casually turns back to the screen.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9QXvf1PnBJ
A (quietly)
“…The fight choreography is actually very clean. I like the camera angles. I wonder if the physics are real.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAitH74MDjZS
Jason beams.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAKIe1Ptj1bp
JASON
“See? Someone here has taste.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAQxMHmToxCp
K
“Taste in giant metal soap operas.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA78AeNAn9Ch
Jason throws a popcorn kernel at him.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Zl3s5jcL
K (without looking)
Missed.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6BZQfb6DN
Meanwhile, K’s tail, that thin black cable ending in a bayonet-like blade, has been occasionally swaying. It’s currently flicking sharply—side to side—like a warning sign. Jason notices.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAEXVj1oINJV
JASON (mocking)
“Someone’s getting feisty. Tail says you’re annoyed.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAbIjTDEdyRM
K (calm)
“I’m always annoyed. But thanks for reading my mood like I’m a house pet.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAA7wRzQ2vM1
JASON
“You are like a really edgy cat.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAoJHgO5Ol7z
A (genuine curiosity)
“So… tails express emotions? That explains a lot. Sometimes K’s tail sways like a happy puppy.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAbvgEFie78Q
K (suspiciously defensive)
“No it doesn’t.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAcvomFboTWw
JASON
“Dude. When you read horror novels, your tail curls like it’s hugging the book.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAtg9lnjp9S0
K
“Stop watching me when I’m vulnerable.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAoUqOUC5xoK
JASON (grinning)
“Too late. You're my favorite drama.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAtLSxBgVj9k
They all settle in again. On screen, a Jaeger punches a Kaiju in the face with a battleship.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA2X5LGwGkeM
Jason cheers. A claps softly. K… blinks.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7cwFTWOnUD
Outside, the last light fades. Inside, three weirdos live their weird life.
