INT. JASON’S CUBE – FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS3DPVBh5n
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.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeh7oru5DQ
SD‑A shuffles cards with exaggerated flair, trench‑coat sleeves flapping.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsZ60XyH6G
SD‑A
“Prepare to face my rainbow of doom!”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwlbbw2rk2
He deals. SD‑K, sunglasses propped on his head, flicks a card aside.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow7OIESPWs
SD‑K
“Rainbow beats nothing. Statistics favour me.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEYgkqlzlF
JASON
“Statistics don’t account for wild cards—and cheating.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB08aqEHzLf
Round one: A slams a Draw‑Four; K growls; Jason laughs until the chili hits wrong and he coughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm72Q4u0sWF
A second later Jason’s texter beeps—Commander Nine‑2’s broadcast:

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISgrQXExyU
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvfpl0rizu
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XUeJYM8ob
Jason snoozes it without a glance.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw758qAhzAm
JASON
“Not thinking about work. Focus: destroying your egos.”

RAPID‑FIRE MONTAGE
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF1TEggTPN
Draw Two avalanche: K forces Jason to pick up eight cards; Jason swears creatively, A giggles.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrigqP2FLl
Trench‑coat victory dance: A wins a round, spinning on skates; spoon‑king nearly topples.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlpQtTJqvP
Chili‑refill pit stop: K ladles more stew, muttering, “Fuel for statistically inevitable revenge.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJATNf8BHLE
Jason’s comeback: He chains a Skip‑Reverse‑Wild, slaps the table—“UNO, baby!”—only for A to hurl a sneaky Draw‑Two.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWzG7RmEwe
Laughter echoes against concrete walls.

LATE NIGHT
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRWaSd2Zwl
Cards abandoned, the three lounge in mismatched seats.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncy8Taz8kA
JASON (lean back, relaxed)
“So, highlight of the week?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjeIk9bwST
SD‑A
“Barrel‑roll at sunrise.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j4oiJ6ohy
SD‑K
“Finding functional clothing.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOHgpwKFyR
JASON
“Not dying in seminar. Close race though.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHEIMz8mRi
A gentle beep from the power grid; city curfew power‑dip. Lights dim to night mode—soft blue.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qVF2xVFsH
Jason stands, stretches.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71q6BA8tQL
JASON
“Charge‑cycle time. Tomorrow’s patrol’s at dawn. No midnight welding, no toaster duels.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifN0xQCC9x
SD‑K
“Counter‑proposal: midnight probability calculations.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNBDwTRkpJ
JASON
“Do them silently.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9agepK1pt2
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5cRAJxWSt
JASON (soft)
“Good chaos, guys. Night.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHyVvlcQHy
The spoon‑king watches in crooked silence as the cube powers down—one by one, visors dim, but a quiet contentment lingers.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj1UPT086N
FADE OUT.
