INT. THE CUBE – EVENING
228Please respect copyright.PENANAWObRETEnX8
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.

ON SCREEN: “PACIFIC RIM”
Explosions. Jaegers. Kaiju. The world-ending chaos Jason loves.
228Please respect copyright.PENANARKpH4q7kUS
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.PENANAYSUVpJZEsR
K (dryly)
“This is… glorified metal-on-monster fanfiction.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAISoeJa4OZY
Jason slowly turns his head toward K, narrow-eyed, as if betrayed.
228Please respect copyright.PENANApedj5vBPw0
JASON
“Take. That. Back.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAKZOev6yOX8
K (without flinching)
“It’s like if someone gave a ten-year-old unlimited CGI and a brain injury.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAk32q5j34e5
JASON
“You’re hurting me.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAcbZeiSAtUt
A glances over, noticing Jason’s horror and K’s pure neutrality. Then casually turns back to the screen.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAxY2CQGJ9vN
A (quietly)
“…The fight choreography is actually very clean. I like the camera angles. I wonder if the physics are real.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAKQVllEo8ih
Jason beams.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q3d8uCSj4
JASON
“See? Someone here has taste.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAR9AhAdPc89
K
“Taste in giant metal soap operas.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAzZfAMlvJdE
Jason throws a popcorn kernel at him.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAAzQxCVn6iz
K (without looking)
Missed.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAiXG0Kh5o0h
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.PENANAbbJGHunkwZ
JASON (mocking)
“Someone’s getting feisty. Tail says you’re annoyed.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAxZbv7Ks2sZ
K (calm)
“I’m always annoyed. But thanks for reading my mood like I’m a house pet.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAqAWmGqYXyJ
JASON
“You are like a really edgy cat.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANANnKMshinR3
A (genuine curiosity)
“So… tails express emotions? That explains a lot. Sometimes K’s tail sways like a happy puppy.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAt9UK3p1cXt
K (suspiciously defensive)
“No it doesn’t.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANATarmxMh3gW
JASON
“Dude. When you read horror novels, your tail curls like it’s hugging the book.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA54U3BgiOLL
K
“Stop watching me when I’m vulnerable.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAuwUVBOxIIN
JASON (grinning)
“Too late. You're my favorite drama.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA6IXMny9wRf
They all settle in again. On screen, a Jaeger punches a Kaiju in the face with a battleship.
228Please respect copyright.PENANASzQSijaN5b
Jason cheers. A claps softly. K… blinks.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA68IYAg9ObM
Outside, the last light fades. Inside, three weirdos live their weird life.
