EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
35Please respect copyright.PENANAKBF44Nwrdq
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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5eFmGUICBg
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAdFx2McFer0
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAgvqkLJQHWZ
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAbvgjr9M8lD
JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ40o6KrTW
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA5FmqxQOB2S
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAr0msSaLbLL
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAjUllbejKlM
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA3wIFi7uztX
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAjGae9GgxgC
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAjhkurdSxji
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcp3gLQodt2
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Ipe4ms9R
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA3lBKqbSlSL
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAMH9bpl8Cu0
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA0iY5M5vmMY
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAQV90rbzJar
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAa4rrGqEIdp
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAB9FXZz8I7U
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAiu8T6KuILC
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAOUvWhvDYF5
FADE OUT.
