INT. THE CUBE – MORNING
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3l1Yj9Ody
A knock rattles the door early in the morning.
A practically sprints to open it, his face lit up with an excitement usually reserved for cartoons and new snack deliveries.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRrEg9T1qY
He swings the door wide.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMX1EPvcWD
A (grinning)
"Good morning!!"
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb879cG6bN
Standing outside are Josh Anderson and Violet Solace, both carrying bags and looking very... surprised.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupUijcfbpU
Josh blinks, his optics doing a little mechanical whirr as he takes in the tall, smiley bot who is definitely not Jason.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwJTQj5IM3
JOSH (awkwardly clearing his throat)
"Uh... hi? Is Jason here?"
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCecRywKJV
Before A can respond, Jason skids into view, still pulling a hoodie over his head and looking like he lost a fight with his own bed.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Nemc5O18
JASON (huffing)
"Yeah, yeah, I’m here. Long story—roommates."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDGvwAFC4D
Josh raises a brow, but shrugs it off in classic Josh fashion—if it’s weird, it’s probably normal for Jason.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP2gYLxIxc
Violet, on the other hand, immediately grins like a shark spotting blood.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7MnHhEV7M
VIOLET (teasing)
"Roommates? What, you finally got sick of living with just your own depressing thoughts?"
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7d1M0A5zQ
Jason rolls his eyes.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMcGITT66o
JASON (grinning back)
"Yeah, figured I should diversify the mental illnesses around me."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl8YEutzOt
They both laugh like it’s the funniest thing ever.
Josh sighs, looking between them helplessly—clearly used to this dynamic.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCguN6DbL4
Violet nudges Josh’s arm with an elbow.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g2aaztEV2
VIOLET (smirking)
"Remember college? When I had to drag your sorry ass out of the laundry room 'cause someone glued your pants to the floor?"
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGVMQJjhLR
JASON (cackling)
"Best prank of the semester. You were screaming like a kettle."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmpfEIDAqR
Josh mutters something about "trauma" and "therapy bills."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReEbbs1WBl
VIOLET (mocking, to Jason)
"And you were always the bad influence. Top of the food chain."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMGwKPXzHZ
JASON (mock innocent)
"Hey, you were the one encouraging me! If I’m the poison, you're the damn delivery system."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ydaIpXJZS
They both exchange an evil, nostalgic look.
Josh just groans dramatically, as if he'd aged a century just standing there.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYWBvgjW5c
Meanwhile, A gently cradles Emily—a small, egg-shaped data pod with a soft pulsing blue glow—like she’s made of clouds.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIArDXF8ZV
A (whispering, awed)
"She’s adorable."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK5c1ZhPms
Violet softens a little, watching A hold the pod with such care.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVA3L4nGAX
VIOLET (grinning)
"Take good care of her, alright? She likes soft humming noises and hates loud banging."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsph1uBMIxY
Jason snorts.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXLnIauq4o
JASON (deadpan)
"Perfect. We’re a rock band of chaos and murder. What could go wrong?"
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVey1BDP8VJ
Josh gives a nervous chuckle, handing A a tiny manual titled "Emergency Data Pod Care" written in about 500 words of technobabble and legal threats.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhcgCHjJdI
JOSH (half-joking)
"If she explodes, you’re buying us a new kid."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVT6gZmEQI
JASON (saluting lazily)
"Sir, yes sir."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DtoT43x3a
VIOLET (turning to leave, calling over her shoulder)
"Don’t let him teach her sarcasm before she even has legs!"
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CBJvnGewv
JASON (mock-offended)
"Hey, sarcasm is a life skill!"
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN7q1UhPPK
The front door clicks shut after them.
Silence falls over the cube... broken only by the soft pulsing of the data pod.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGdP8hw9JR
Jason turns slowly to face A and K, hands on hips.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh3xV3BDb0
JASON (grimacing)
"Well, congratulations. We’re officially in charge of a tiny semi-sentient bean."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HoTTycK9V
A cradles Emily proudly like he’s holding the future.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10ZYfrkZBC
K scribbles a doodle of a baby pod wielding a giant axe on the wall behind them.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOreKo54c3y
JASON (sighing)
"This... is gonna be a nightmare."
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyaGT5Q1pi
