INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
21Please respect copyright.PENANAESFrMXsQR3
[Jason’s head pops up from under a blanket corner, observing SD-A’s fort—complete with hanging wires, glowing snack wrappers, and a flag that reads “A-ZONE: TRESPASSERS WILL BE HUGGED.”]
21Please respect copyright.PENANAjxFxc6rAeV
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAZZrfLOvs9g
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAJiKnGDMuny
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAdVESVToC5Z
JASON
“Alright, listen up, weirdos.” (claps hands)
“You’ve been cooped up all day. I’ve been tortured by spreadsheets. It’s time for—brace yourselves—outdoor activities.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAEvRuDK6qWu
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAWq5y9VL94X
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAExYz4MNqBo
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
21Please respect copyright.PENANA3TRYne9Xyq
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANA1XNqHumPvZ
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
21Please respect copyright.PENANAWwJPrEqBxP
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAlm0g26Ddb1
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
21Please respect copyright.PENANA6qQqsEHuC2
[The trio stands in a vast, mostly barren terrain just outside Central City’s reinforced walls. Old vehicles rust into the dirt. Distant wind turbines creak slowly. The air hums with a peaceful quiet—a rare calm.]
21Please respect copyright.PENANAXRaSpz06vS
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAQR1ejhyU54
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAJGqQLr0uWy
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAsk340GStAh
JASON
“If it was, I’d bring marshmallows. Now come on, let’s see how fast you two are when you’re not trying to kill something.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANA5pypC4DLdx
[He takes off at a light jog. SD-A excitedly follows, doing weird cartwheels and flips like he’s trying to impress gravity. K lags behind for a second, then sighs and activates his stabilizers to catch up.]
21Please respect copyright.PENANAkb0nvCh1aX
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnOMKAXZaVC
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAswmLXytkNk
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwraKZqS1dt
[They leap over rubble, duck under collapsed scaffolding, and make an all-out sprint. Jason’s arm transforms mid-run into a grappling hook, yanking him up onto a ledge before switching back with a smug spin.]
21Please respect copyright.PENANAdd3d9MfPs9
JASON
“Still got it.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANArtVfx56VGi
[SD-K lands beside him with an annoyed scowl. SD-A follows, slightly out of breath, but smiling so big it’s practically a flashlight beam.]
21Please respect copyright.PENANAfR0xrFEIM5
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAznKkOEgjcm
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANA1zQrBtao0d
21Please respect copyright.PENANAHgylFYyB9Z
---
21Please respect copyright.PENANAZ25M2gZUl9
[They stand together on a high spot overlooking the far edge of Central City, neon lights twinkling in the distance. The wind howls past like an old memory.]
21Please respect copyright.PENANA0tbsdcIib3
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAfcZKj5CA1W
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwFlOBKUbeC
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANARAwJxAOoOJ
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
