INT. THE CUBE – STILL THAT DAMN MORNING
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mbZLCtijy
Josh is still frozen.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8q406aq7k
Mouth slightly open.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40vHdVf1DV
Optics flickering.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUcqSrbgI9
Processor fans audibly whirring.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUV92LVv4w
He’s about two seconds away from blue-screening.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TTIgmTLrj
Violet, on the other hand, is vibing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJophSZvzJR
She leans forward from the couch, elbow on her knee, chin on palm, and smiles sweetly at A like they’re old friends.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpt91oHoC1
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?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i8admRplY
Jason lifts his head just enough from the blanket to glare at her with one glowing optic.
Horrified.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmq284rkRB
A blinks. Processing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgH5fr4xnr
Clearly not understanding it’s a joke, he thinks for a moment with a hand on his chin.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf5dkZxNKy
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.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDDBj93Dpx
Jason groans in spiritual pain, then collapses again, face-down into the blanket, limbs dangling lifelessly over the couch like a crime scene outline.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcW9OtuEQQ
JASON (muffled, desperate)
"Why am I friends with her. Why.
Why did I agree to babysit.
Why is my life like this."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LklLfHXzw
A gently pats Jason’s back, hand resting lightly between his shoulders in a comforting rhythm.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhpHfPALe8
Exactly like a parent consoling a five-year-old after they dropped their lollipop.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxHL7Sa7l9
Meanwhile, Josh is still stuck in Loading...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKw8GuCix8
His eyes just kind of glow in a disconnected way, and he’s whispering the same phrase over and over.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLGesoRsir
JOSH (softly, repeatedly)
“They’re Purification bots... in a cube... with a child... in a cube... with Purification bots…”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAcvBF2qkp
K leans against the wall beside him, arms crossed, looking mildly empathetic.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw44eOZw3V
He gives Josh a slow nod like a monk who’s seen things.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17JXF73lhM
K (calmly)
“I know your feelings, mate.
Living with these emotionally unstable psychopaths... it’s exhausting.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeumyYoqgBK
Josh turns his head slowly toward K, optics twitching.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJQUsxVsKh
JOSH (numb)
"You live here too."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE2pAEPl9y
K
“Exactly.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EJ2N6t07n
Jason lets out a pathetic pffff into the blanket.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEQXsobsAk
JASON (still muffled)
“He’s not wrong.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV0yIzBgUD
A (innocently)
"I don't think I'm emotionally unstable. I log emotions properly and react within functional range."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5BXFMSxrU
VIOLET (chuckling)
“Oh, sweetie, you tried. That’s cute.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68B4X5Kkf6
Emily lets out a little chirp from Violet’s lap, reaching a tiny arm toward Jason’s collapsed body.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRrkauyIm3
JASON (groaning as he turns his head)
“No, child. Don’t come to me. I’m dead.
Go to your emotionally stable murder uncle.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyFJhLBdqC
A chuckles softly and shifts closer to Jason, sitting down beside him while gently dragging the blanket up over his shoulders.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8bLP93UXc
It’s peaceful.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnRC5ojBNl
In that deeply unhinged kind of way.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N6fqoIgnD
FADE OUT.
