INT. JASON’S CUBE – DINNER HOUR

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qCN9GrEN

The trio crouches around the improvised “table”: a crate flipped upside‑down, topped with steaming bowls of heavy‑grade oil stew and squares of re‑heated heat‑cubes. Jason sips first, wincing at the metallic spice.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalDv5TBiE2

JASON

“Alright, spill circuits. How do you two keep citing personal details I never shared?”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ebBxTksEp

A raises his visor from the bowl, wiping oil from his chin.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaiN6ee8U8

SD‑A

“Details? Which?”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNJu6tE5wA

JASON

“Maglev Operators glaring, my HR emotion forms—stuff you shouldn’t know. I never talked about any of it.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Qfrg2Qct

SD‑K, seated coolly in his new leather jacket, casually taps at a wrist panel.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqLKuwvx9h

SD‑K

“Observation.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOahRuywM61

JASON

“Observation, my chassis. You weren’t on the train. And HR files aren’t public. So how did you observe that?”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSv6Bpr9Vf

K glances at A—who looks innocently blank—then back at Jason. Finally, he slides a tiny metallic object onto the crate: a micro‑spider drone, no larger than a coin, eight slender legs curled in standby.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKltPuwb1vI

SD‑K

“I deployed reconnaissance units. Small, cheap. They skitter behind you, gather environmental data, and return. Simple.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZxHMrjPdt

JASON (staring at the bug)

“You’ve been droning me? In my own HQ? My commute? My cubicle?!”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JR0iHDE4D

SD‑K

“Efficient situational awareness. New environment. Unknown ally. Tactical necessity.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR35uHc8fwE

JASON

“Tactical—? I shower in that cube, K!”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHZS5uTsto

A nearly chokes on stew.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdrd4trXT4

SD‑A

“He does. I heard the pipe screaming.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYntxZBz9nq

K remains unapologetic.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKtHBMEA21

SD‑K

“I only monitor patterns, not… bathing rituals.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE4moWspmp

JASON (rubs temples)

“Look, I get paranoia. Been there. But I need one place where I’m not on candid camera, capisce? Call off the spyders.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo8hZUDsAr

K tilts his head, weighing trust vs. habit, then nods once.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98bSk4kgFK

SD‑K

“Understood. Units deactivated. Data feed deleted.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44MvzMpDhN

He crushes the spider gently between two fingers; tiny spark, then silence. Jason exhales, tension easing.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TEzitRJIx

JASON

“Thanks. I’ll ignore the memory violation this once. Next time, ask.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpcu6OhGxO

A raises a hand, genuinely curious.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeHWaf3v7h

SD‑A

“If we ask, can we still use them? Maybe… outside?”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeqyM2KZ0e

JASON

“Fine. Outside. Not in my shower.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09fISAK49J

SD‑A (thumbs‑up)

“Deal!”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKnlg7wp5Z

Jason pokes at his stew, then smirks despite himself.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoC3FpUPDH

JASON

“Can’t believe I’m negotiating surveillance boundaries over soup.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vybTp8Ub5

K flicks a heat‑cube into his mouth like popcorn.

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg7kt1pK99

SD‑K

“Welcome to family life.”

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngVq3utlpG

They resume eating. The spoon‑king sculpture stares judgmentally from the counter, but for now the cube feels—if not private—at least honest.
