INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyHyqdag11
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqE4NJvpTf
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOERQJ17sC
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpPdh9VtR1
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJpQZHOUkl
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OcRa0EwJa
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjPVrWOKvI
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0hf64MAnt
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohpN2u6Sll
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5yCKkwHzr
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4r9dX8MXw
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpldkUjv5l6
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjrq9jkEpZ
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwZhXVlJDT
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDs1oUmLGi
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZO8lAlmi
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruUgBcdiJq
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbynAUvNgHu
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEkmGpfcms
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dUgZKsMJk
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcesus0Fss
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HCovC2BOt
Silence again.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eDUNQ8P6N
Josh stares.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oWAXCyrTz
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uzRKf2DLZ
Emily gurgles happily.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHdZthkOWA
Josh finally opens his mouth—
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEt6jaogMn
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynXjrWJHNr
CUT TO BLACK.
