INT. THE CUBE – EVENING

The door swings shut behind them with a soft clack. The trio disperses into their usual corners of chaos.

Jason tosses the medicine bag onto the kitchen shelf, sorting bottles into the half-empty cabinets with a low sigh. Across the room, A sprawls out onto the bed, nose already buried in the new book he picked at the store. K, meanwhile, grabs a scrap of paper and a black pen, sketching something that looks deeply concerning—a mass of twisted limbs and hollow eyes.

JASON (over his shoulder, muttering)
"You better not be drawing what I think you’re drawing, K."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5otZroIAP
K (without looking up)
"No promises."

Jason rolls his eyes and heads into the bathroom, peeling off his jacket as the shower kicks on with a hiss of steam. The door clicks shut behind him.

Silence settles for a moment, until—BEEP-BEEP—Jason's texter buzzes loudly on the kitchen counter.

A glances up from his book, curious. He hops off the bed and picks up the device, the screen still glowing. A new message blinks:

> Josh Anderson:
Hey, Jason! Are you free tomorrow? Violet and I have a reunion. Can you babysit Emily for a few hours? She’s still in the pod, so it's easy. Thanks, bro!

A tilts his head, thinking.
Shrugging, he types back:

> A:
Sure!

Just as he puts the texter down, Jason’s voice echoes from inside the bathroom.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxGisPm7Nm
JASON (calling out)
"Hey, who’s texting me?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxALjyPG9KC
A (loudly, innocent)
"Josh. He’s asking if we can babysit a data pod tomorrow. I said yes. You don't mind, right?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruuCBIuUT2
A beat of silence.
Then the sound of Jason’s forehead slamming against the shower wall.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2xleoLM7O
JASON (muffled, pained groan)
"Why—why—would you think it's appropriate to let me—literally the worst adult in three factions—and you two homicidal maniacs babysit a kid?!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY5EIbBaem
A (cheerfully)
"Because you like kids?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx7eqRZTpn
JASON (in existential agony)
"I like other people's kids when they're far away! Not when they’re in the blast radius!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1IV7B8VXY
K snickers darkly from his seat on the floor.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphGaNfM4lA
K (deadpan)
"Don't worry. If the pod gets corrupted, we'll just raise it into a weapon of destruction."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHoIwgObAz
JASON (yelling from the shower)
"THAT DOESN'T HELP!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytMK3TlXe1
A picks up his book again, smiling as if he’s already proud of their upcoming mission.
Tomorrow was definitely going to be something.

FADE OUT.
