INT. APARTMENT HALL – EVENING

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcQ4Q3JC6W

Jason trudges down the dim corridor, cardboard bag of bargain texters under one arm. He stops at his door, takes a breath, then knocks three times.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanthNSF4UO

JASON

“Greetings, faithful! Have you accepted ROBO GOD into your—”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVR3N3JsZy

Door yanks open. SD‑K—now in leather jacket, gray tank, and cargo pants—glowers.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFM4zm62G7

SD‑K

“Get in.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfNjIcu8f

JASON (raising a brow)

“Really? My note literally said, ‘Tell them to fuck off.’”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhgN6Z8Px0

SD‑K

“Your humor is tiresome.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuUYY5a4y4

Jason steps inside. The cube is a minefield of UNO cards and snack wrappers. SD‑A, trench‑coat wrapped and sitting cross‑legged, waves happily.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKNnzEbcmS

SD‑A

“Jason! We had productive rest and minimal property damage!”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Zthxeiz6

JASON

“That’s… the best report I’ve heard all day.”

(holds up the bag)

“Since we’re basically roommates, you each get a shiny new texter‑brick 3000. They call; you answer. No internet, no tracking, and yes— they might burst into flames if you push the weather button.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLOCUQ52eE

He hands one to A (who beams) and tosses the other to K (who inspects it like a bomb). Jason demonstrates:

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFfY5fQDJ7

JASON

“Press ‘Ping,’ type a 5‑digit string—like this—boom, message delivered.”

(sends a test ping: “hi idiots -J”)

Both texters beep. Success.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUzaxWU4NQ

SD‑A

“It’s adorable!”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0SfNgKBBt

SD‑K

“It’s obsolete.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJwKkGzYcy

JASON

“It was cheap.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawQyAaWI1E

Jason’s eyes sweep the room…and land on the opened boxes of cigarettes piled near the fridge.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuEO4gyzU6

JASON

“…Why are my apocalypse smokes out?”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca8r0QwuB7

Both bots freeze. K answers first, tone neutral.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7itdOYhjJy

SD‑K

“Research.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsvTiIah04

JASON

“Research. Into what, my bad decisions? How’d you even know I smoked? I never said it.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlsWBKsXHp

SD‑A (sheepish)

“K found them while… organizing. He said you quit because it was economically irrational and your mechanic threatened you.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI4235fNLQ

Jason throws K a mock glare.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzYIK8jInO

JASON

“Could’ve asked instead of rifling my trauma drawer.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBKhkhwiqG

SD‑K

“You left a note about behaving. You never defined research as misbehavior.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsoF2IYUaT

Jason sighs, picks up one box, flips it open—still sealed.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4fp81bGZP

JASON

“I keep these for emergencies. Like surviving one of K’s motivational speeches.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO6M8wDQgM

SD‑A

“So… you won’t start again?”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhhLflCSR

JASON

“Nah. Paying triple for body checks hurts worse than craving a stick of lung‑fire.”

(tosses the box back onto the pile)

“Put them back. And next time you run an archaeological dig in my closet, at least label the exhibit.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKZTC5lYRZ

K mutters something about “better security protocols,” but begins repacking the cartons. A examines his texter, thumbs tapping happily.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDy2GtLukB

JASON

“Alright, dinner in an hour. Nobody burn the cube down, nobody convert to robo god, and yes—UNO rematch later. I’m reclaiming my dignity.”

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQum75v8wQe

He flops onto the bed with a groan—hangover lingering but heart lighter. The two fugitives nod.

21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdgTeKVhy

FADE OUT.
