INT. THE CUBE – EVENING

The room is dimly lit now, orange light from the window fading into deeper blue as the sky darkens. The TV glows brightly in the corner, illuminating their faces with giant robot fights and dramatic soundtracks.

ON SCREEN: “PACIFIC RIM”
Explosions. Jaegers. Kaiju. The world-ending chaos Jason loves.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34a8kAHeaW
Jason’s sitting dead center on the couch, eyes wide, holding a bowl of oil-sprayed popcorn. A sits upright next to him, focused with textbook intensity. K is on the floor, back against the bed, arms folded, looking extremely unimpressed.

JASON (grinning like a kid)
“This. This is cinema. Art. Poetry. Soul. Purpose.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdshSacrhP
K (dryly)
“This is… glorified metal-on-monster fanfiction.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDBIuZsnAC
Jason slowly turns his head toward K, narrow-eyed, as if betrayed.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEclVCMVxff
JASON
“Take. That. Back.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOuAtyY0nr
K (without flinching)
“It’s like if someone gave a ten-year-old unlimited CGI and a brain injury.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QLo07Dfls
JASON
“You’re hurting me.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexUMiwOZ2z
A glances over, noticing Jason’s horror and K’s pure neutrality. Then casually turns back to the screen.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GZi5QBzRV
A (quietly)
“…The fight choreography is actually very clean. I like the camera angles. I wonder if the physics are real.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzEvChDCcv
Jason beams.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40iy1GJCca
JASON
“See? Someone here has taste.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax0jTnAXSk
K
“Taste in giant metal soap operas.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kSKgENJFZ
Jason throws a popcorn kernel at him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tb2kictEJ
K (without looking)
Missed.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRE5unz7Ap
Meanwhile, K’s tail, that thin black cable ending in a bayonet-like blade, has been occasionally swaying. It’s currently flicking sharply—side to side—like a warning sign. Jason notices.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglYe39tx7v
JASON (mocking)
“Someone’s getting feisty. Tail says you’re annoyed.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JwYOleDq6
K (calm)
“I’m always annoyed. But thanks for reading my mood like I’m a house pet.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D1rUu1CL9
JASON
“You are like a really edgy cat.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVNKVqxyOG
A (genuine curiosity)
“So… tails express emotions? That explains a lot. Sometimes K’s tail sways like a happy puppy.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0fQQljqHX
K (suspiciously defensive)
“No it doesn’t.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H39iSouwY
JASON
“Dude. When you read horror novels, your tail curls like it’s hugging the book.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7MbvI8vnf
K
“Stop watching me when I’m vulnerable.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtNnmohF37
JASON (grinning)
“Too late. You're my favorite drama.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoOAB5dGku
They all settle in again. On screen, a Jaeger punches a Kaiju in the face with a battleship.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJiengb8SK
Jason cheers. A claps softly. K… blinks.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAzqlQMCHa
Outside, the last light fades. Inside, three weirdos live their weird life.
