INT. THE CUBE – NIGHT

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESdB9YzogS

The credits of Pacific Rim roll up the screen. The last bombastic note fades, replaced by the soft hum of evening stillness.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHhsuNernX

Jason sighs with deep contentment, arms behind his head.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXWZNPXYlb

JASON

“God, that movie makes me wanna punch a skyscraper. In a good way.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf64m1ZHWd4

A (curious)

“Why would you want to punch a skyscraper?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp0iFFSgMb

JASON

“Dramatic flair. Y’know, prove I can.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyzg5seaA0

K (from the ceiling, monotone)

“You can’t.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz1ynttRMb

JASON (mock offended)

“How dare you doubt my delusions.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVDwg2Yjkp

The three start cleaning up their trash lazily—popcorn crumbs, drink containers, one lonely sock (Jason’s, somehow). Then, slowly, they settle into their usual “night mode.” Jason flops back on the bed with a long, theatrical groan. A climbs in next to him, already holding a digital reader, flicking through another book.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDImqZmEcIL

K silently lowers himself from the ceiling by his arms—tail coiled neatly—and then climbs back up, upside-down, where he reads from his own stash of weird, thick horror novels.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4DWKU02zr

Jason watches him for a bit, pointing lazily.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcASescqGTA

JASON

“Hey, question. What’s it like reading upside-down? Doesn’t the blood rush to your head?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbsAExT7NL

K (flat)

“No blood. No brain. No problem.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWkIkuDdXg

A (thoughtful)

“But you do have coolant circulation systems. Wouldn’t that affect balance perception?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lSofSETJF

K

“My system is modular. You’re overthinking it.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc63QhQ2il2

JASON

“You say that like you didn’t once read a 900-page horror trilogy in two hours and then give us a lecture on dismemberment techniques.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZ2cAnSYQ

K

“That was for educational purposes.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvLXUmYFH2

A

“You drew diagrams.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1pK5dsUDx

JASON

“They were labeled in Latin, bro.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BOJPkXHCM

K (shrugging upside-down)

“Dead languages for dead things. Fitting.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP935OCp9r

Jason groans, rubbing his face.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8J0ORLiHw

JASON

“How did I end up with a serial killer bat and a boy scout with wings?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq6ects5WR

A (smiling slightly)

“You brought us home.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qICSsDPM

K

“Technically, we forced our way in.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl61nmQUSJC

JASON

“Yeah, and now you’re sleeping in my bed and hanging off my ceiling. My life’s a sitcom made by masochists.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWcu2g3Jht

They fall into a moment of quiet, not awkward, just comfortable. The hum of electronics, city lights through the window, the occasional creak of the building—like an old man settling his joints.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIdPVCo5kY

Jason turns slightly to A, blinking at the soft glow of the reader screen.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMwnd7yqxq

JASON

“What are you even reading this time?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhQmtUuobS

A

“It’s a sci-fi novel. About an artificial intelligence that falls in love with a pilot who doesn’t know he’s being watched by the ship’s system.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoXSHBBw18

K (snorts)

“Creepy.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRhIH2I3R

A (defensive)

“It’s romantic.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbABenqw0Uo

JASON

“It’s creepy and romantic. Like 90% of old human literature.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyHv0DTpdZ

K (mockingly poetic)

“Oh, Romeo, install thy firmware into my drive.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLemcsUZEO

Jason nearly chokes on his laughter.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGMHoQ8Z7a

JASON

“Kill me.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgFLmM9dO9

K

“Maybe later.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFJ11bqcLc

A (smiling faintly)

“You two are terrible.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBTsLPxEkn

JASON

“And yet you’re here.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsS8hjreyS

A

“…I don’t know why, but it feels like home.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOekVKjgp

There’s a pause after that. A softer one.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJA7bWZAFr

Jason gives him a sideways glance. A isn’t looking at him, just still flicking through the pages.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHQkpy3vN8

JASON (murmurs)

“…Yeah. Same.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DP02srwRE

Above, K doesn’t say anything, but his tail, swaying gently before, now curls inward slightly. Like it's listening.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLCgbyGf8a

JASON (suddenly)

“Hey, do those tails of yours ever tangle when you’re fighting or something?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPY9S5Wwns

K

“We don’t wrap around each other like tentacle spaghetti, if that’s what you’re asking.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY3TUqbVpO

A

“They’re reinforced with flexibility protocols. We can move them independently. Sometimes they act on instinct.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIcyMUCmkO

JASON

“Like just now?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRWJZp2og8

A

“What?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5H3es46f1

JASON

“Something’s poking my side.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQY08f5QhO

There’s a slight pause. A blinks, then slowly turns his head.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfks1AHVatz

A (realizing)

“…Oh. Um. That’s my tail.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jFwEgOSzM

JASON (alarmed)

“Wait wha—”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbntYha7RPQ

SHNK.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs98Wrz21cl

Jason suddenly sits up with a very sharp, very sudden yelp.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJqiwqkioz

JASON

“OW!! MY KIDNEY!”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmtgPCtN1

A’s tail, black and sleek, is retracted immediately, but not before it clearly stabbed Jason just slightly in the waist. It’s not serious, but it’s definitely rude.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sE9NWGm4Q

A (horrified)

“I—I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to—I was focusing on the story—I didn’t think it would—!”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iJP1Ab35T

JASON (groaning)

“You shanked me with your tail, A! I trusted you! I let you on the bed!”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dTBSMCW9C

K (still upside-down, calmly flipping page)

“Ah yes, intimacy injuries. Classic.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytlwIZklyE

A (panicking slightly)

“Are you leaking? Should I get a medkit? Oh no—”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhOzGE2kkF

JASON

“No, it’s—ugh, it’s a scratch. Just get me an ice pack or something. And maybe a stuffed animal.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzPhZx3kwc

K (amused)

“Baby wants his blankie too?”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnWzVss9QP

JASON (flops back onto bed)

“Baby wants peace.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmANwousTXJ

A jumps up to grab the medkit. Jason sighs again, long-suffering. The cable tail sways behind A, now nervously stiff.

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I0aXkvASB

JASON (grumbling)

“Worst. Roommates. Ever.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay0A18CoR7

K

“You love us.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbuKhUuIOu

JASON

“I tolerate you like caffeine withdrawal.”

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKNvcqbId2

The night grows quieter again… but the laughter lingers.
