INT. JASON’S CUBE – FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfz6CXTJQN
The crate‑table is now cluttered with three bowls of chili‑oil stew, half‑empty drink canisters, and the UNO deck ready for battle. The spoon‑king—one googly eye, one duct‑taped—presides from a shelf.

Jason slurps a spoonful, sighs like a rebooted fan.

JASON
“Spicy but edible. A miracle. All right, new tradition—post‑seminar rant followed by game night. A, deal.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDZ5YwcoJD
SD‑A shuffles cards with exaggerated flair, trench‑coat sleeves flapping.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNsPXrV5MY
SD‑A
“Prepare to face my rainbow of doom!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1WTh6mzUm
He deals. SD‑K, sunglasses propped on his head, flicks a card aside.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprx7qs7eMN
SD‑K
“Rainbow beats nothing. Statistics favour me.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyBNGtnZSQ
JASON
“Statistics don’t account for wild cards—and cheating.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJJkBQw4Lv
Round one: A slams a Draw‑Four; K growls; Jason laughs until the chili hits wrong and he coughs.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKn2iqiHyr
A second later Jason’s texter beeps—Commander Nine‑2’s broadcast:

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm7PK7zeWV
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb7pLgPUOc
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltfM3Dc7P7
Jason snoozes it without a glance.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Cs8wIkuN
JASON
“Not thinking about work. Focus: destroying your egos.”

RAPID‑FIRE MONTAGE
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDiddN3nGN
Draw Two avalanche: K forces Jason to pick up eight cards; Jason swears creatively, A giggles.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk0VHfBw6N
Trench‑coat victory dance: A wins a round, spinning on skates; spoon‑king nearly topples.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQASxfBrrD
Chili‑refill pit stop: K ladles more stew, muttering, “Fuel for statistically inevitable revenge.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzelwkouwM
Jason’s comeback: He chains a Skip‑Reverse‑Wild, slaps the table—“UNO, baby!”—only for A to hurl a sneaky Draw‑Two.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2kgFa16Np
Laughter echoes against concrete walls.

LATE NIGHT
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodCjytF81R
Cards abandoned, the three lounge in mismatched seats.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqBmi6CHYK
JASON (lean back, relaxed)
“So, highlight of the week?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6B7N83CJU
SD‑A
“Barrel‑roll at sunrise.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1BK5o3UVX
SD‑K
“Finding functional clothing.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwUKZbM3Q
JASON
“Not dying in seminar. Close race though.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamBYOLRsAq
A gentle beep from the power grid; city curfew power‑dip. Lights dim to night mode—soft blue.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIAxLU7jmV
Jason stands, stretches.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ubURH3FXm
JASON
“Charge‑cycle time. Tomorrow’s patrol’s at dawn. No midnight welding, no toaster duels.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW1WpGJXs5
SD‑K
“Counter‑proposal: midnight probability calculations.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40x4YqWiCw
JASON
“Do them silently.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVVacUsshn
A crawls onto the bed corner, trench‑coat blanket style. K resumes his ceiling hang (now with leather jacket). Jason sighs amused, flops onto his half of the mattress.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Q5FG8j0E
JASON (soft)
“Good chaos, guys. Night.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNspiAaai9
The spoon‑king watches in crooked silence as the cube powers down—one by one, visors dim, but a quiet contentment lingers.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyYAU7Y4ru
FADE OUT.
