INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nPmXLlPGC
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.

Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eSPgGV4jf
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJdTDjM0h8
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGJIqWvIW
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6EItnh8Tm
His hand transforms with a smooth click-clack, a built-in grappling hook system snapping into place.
He fires it at the door.
SLAM—locks it tight.

JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzVyiGltEh
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.

Violet quietly drags Josh down into a sitting position on the couch, whispering soothing "Shhh, breathe, babe" noises while Josh looks like he's about to either pass out or become a murderer.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB7Xz1U2U3
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4gbcTX5eO
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsQZeWARWf
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQZdlCmSM
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb9JMSEoWg
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKawXL87gB
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgazHOlSYw0
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvzi9loBMV
Jason then spills the whole damn story—
From the weird Liberation aftermath, the first encounter with A and K, the chaotic living arrangement, up to now, all in one long, fast, slightly panicked ramble.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmHAOMbTp5
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56phL2Yr5y
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxWZjKdbVg
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KNegeoh0e
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlIJXjmHKF
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBFK0YSqsP
Silence again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU166gJ1Uqg
Josh stares.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGgsErj8Zm
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mC1HsjUpy
Emily gurgles happily.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDjrXAvVz3
Josh finally opens his mouth—
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUoqCHey5d
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wApsZl63N
CUT TO BLACK.
