EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3grigkhej
The trio steps out of the cozy warmth of Cabin Fever and into the amber-tinted streets. Jason stretches his arms over his head, a faint groan slipping out.
A hums a little tune, clutching a plastic bag with leftover pancakes, while K fiddles with a toothpick he stole from the counter.

JASON
"Alright, dynamic disasters. Meal's done. Now we’re running a couple errands."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI0sgh2fXe
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5gKP2ibxS
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb8wzvL00A
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.

JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1OworArWG
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXVsnAOz9O
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUfTqngZTF
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk7nOYpWns
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUseh8s0M6
Jason shrugs, unfazed.

JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBFpoog2SY
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZaIT8jS8v
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6vQhJHIky
They turn the corner. Neon signs flicker and hum overhead as small shops and vendors line the streets, the city still a little restless after the HQ incident but trying to fake normalcy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpljrJ84pt
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.

K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqswIeDH8D
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2n6Ao86WI
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtblmfgLNPi
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIUOqJvJg6
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsOWTzMSvo
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.

FADE OUT.
