INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYURK06g6
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMGdIvsk9M
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2os9djxKVp
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDJ93taJTJ
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcCDjJs5XW
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUGHFbknji
His hand transforms with a smooth click-clack, a built-in grappling hook system snapping into place.
He fires it at the door.
SLAM—locks it tight.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfth4wSEje3
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoLrk8dsUs
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.

Violet quietly drags Josh down into a sitting position on the couch, whispering soothing "Shhh, breathe, babe" noises while Josh looks like he's about to either pass out or become a murderer.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9EztX5Aos
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArmflDYSDN
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLlzxU5oHS
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfEUeNv5AH
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0zAXDIc73
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRhoxJFGYL
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP8zpXsMLn
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtURkSNyDT6
Jason then spills the whole damn story—
From the weird Liberation aftermath, the first encounter with A and K, the chaotic living arrangement, up to now, all in one long, fast, slightly panicked ramble.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRFycfKKgG
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2psEPgjOc
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUPq8y2weT
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY87fFY8abQ
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKsMQ8pK8A
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWKoBxTRUb
Silence again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85dw4clcm
Josh stares.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxwZxTwA7J
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VCiuyluVH
Emily gurgles happily.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELhr79cnfr
Josh finally opens his mouth—
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiwG0sRLuL
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsG5kKkKyB
CUT TO BLACK.
