EXT. CABIN FEVER RESTAURANT – LATE AFTERNOON
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASobOB3hv2
The trio slows as they approach a worn wooden door, its non-electric sign creaking slightly above—
"CABIN FEVER", hand-painted in chipped white letters.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedLD3vI0gO
K (snorting)
"Cabin Fever. Very inviting. Like they’re advertising diseases now."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH46Soz9nJK
JASON (grinning)
"Better than it looks. Trust me. Plus, no one’s died here. Recently."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6QvVfQDv0
A (brightly)
"That's a comforting statistic!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IZsDHfBLt
Jason pushes the door open, letting the smell of grilled food and old wood waft over them.

INT. CABIN FEVER RESTAURANT – CONTINUOUS
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFHMHoNcm9
Warm yellow lights spill over dark wooden booths and creaky floors.
The place has the vibe of a mansion someone gave up halfway through building, but in a cozy way.
The few customers inside barely glance up before returning to their steaming plates.

Jason leads them to a booth tucked in the back corner, naturally shadowed but close to an emergency exit—old habits die hard.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCDNtXdi1S
They slip into the booth: Jason on one side, K and A crammed onto the other, K already surveying every escape route.

Before Jason can even finish scanning the handwritten menu, a figure emerges from the kitchen—
VINCENT, the heavyset owner with a permanent tired smile, wipes his hands on his apron and lumbers over.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2orcvIfs5
VINCENT (gruffly, but warmly)
"Well, I'll be damned. Jason Gearman, in the flesh. And with company this time, huh?"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUOVQ0Rruw
Jason flashes an easy, guilty grin.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlftnhL7XKD
JASON
"Yeah, figured I'd stop being a sad loner... Y'know. Start a robot band or something."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3D2ZkZe7H
Vincent chuckles, looking over at A and K with a raised brow.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRbdVQ5YWQ
VINCENT
"Friends of yours? Thought you only brought that grumpy repair guy around."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKon77arZvb
JASON (waving vaguely)
"Yeah, uh, new coworkers. From... a different department. Very exclusive."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA28FZhmx2
K offers a stiff nod. A beams way too brightly, causing Vincent to blink once, slowly.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMaka9XXZQ
VINCENT (playing along)
"Uh-huh. Well, any friend of Jason’s is tolerated here. You want the usual?"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ18kvnCx2z
JASON
"Yeah, and these two... uh, menu’s open for 'em. They’re celebrating."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgL7OKZ03b
Vincent scribbles something down and disappears with a grunt.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzFDlNPVBa
The three settle back. Jason leans his elbow on the table, giving A and K a look.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVoctCRRRc
JASON (mock whispering)
"Okay, act normal. No stabbing, no staring contests, no threatening the food."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbuk249eZr
K (sarcastic)
"Define normal."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK7tEiC83f
A (cheerful)
"I want something sweet and something crunchy!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKQYdOMJFt
Jason laughs under his breath, feeling the tension drain from his shoulders for the first time in days.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP6aeCbUtm
Outside the restaurant, the city churns on, but in this little pocket of battered booths and mismatched silverware—
for now, it’s just them.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRGvcnstd9
FADE OUT.
