INT. JASON’S CUBE – CONTINUOUS

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJfBGaFbas

A clanky whirr–ding! rattles from the ancient fax machine wedged between a toolbox and a half‑dead air filter. Paper sputters out in jerky spurts.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb68AH2RmF

SD‑A (startled)

“The wall’s spitting!”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIku8jGXwIx

SD‑K

“Relax. It’s the fax relic.”

(pulls out the freshly printed page)

“He’s using 22nd‑century tech in the 29th. Figures.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0iCbCfLAQ

K squints at the paper, reading aloud in Jason’s scrawled font‑mimic:

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyXCRZZ23t

> JASON:

“Don’t watch too many cartoons—the electricity bill was probably fed by A’s binge time.

Try doing something else, like poker. Or UNO. They’re in the fridge (don’t ask why).

I’ll find an easier way to connect with you guys.

K, take care of A for me. Tysm. –J”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnElygPiCTV

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRABbMzvNLY

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ138TAyl4cu

SD‑A

“Board games in the fridge?”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeXRBWbseG

SD‑K (folds the note, pockets it with zero ceremony)

“With Jason, nothing surprises me.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1os4P0EfZ

He strides to the mini‑fridge labeled “KEVIN” (complete with googly eyes). Opens it. Inside:

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4A65w5gtm

Condensation‑frosted UNO deck in a zipper bag.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNEI02iaCB

A battered poker set stuffed into an old lunchbox.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5HUB0sXWW

Three suspicious glow‑sticks.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYdHX1OsA4

One jar of… something—better left unmentioned.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFKWEFF8lO

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcb2URad9D

SD‑K (pulling the games out)

“Well. At least they’re chilled.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLtPS2StI1

SD‑A (grabs UNO excitedly)

“I call dibs on the red cards!”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF2YaQLg88

SD‑K

“You can’t dibs colors. That’s not—”

(sighs)

“Fine. But no house rules like Draw‑Twenty‑Seven nonsense.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFS8cLSnmA

They clear a spot on the floor, sweeping aside cigarette boxes and stray bolts. A spreads the colorful UNO cards, humming. K stacks poker chips with military precision.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshTw3xcoWW

SD‑A

“So the fax machine—Jason’s been messaging all day?”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P1BRJEVXI

SD‑K

“Yeah. Earlier note said: ‘Cadets louder than proximity alarms. Send help. Also coffee.’”

(smirks)

“He’s suffering.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyVnzYK5n2

SD‑A (chuckles)

“Poor Jason.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncWzOi0djd

K deals out cards. A sits cross‑legged in the brown trench coat, practically glowing with child‑bot glee. K, leather jacket collar high, studies his hand like it’s state secrets.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gY52y6WgN

SD‑K

“Ready?”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIXsAhaLJJ

SD‑A

“Ready!”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQyHu3gSkv

They slam down cards—Skip, Reverse, Draw Four!—the cube filling with playful rivalry rather than cartoon explosions.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8MbIK3370

SD‑A (gleeful)

“Uno!”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfp99pZEx2

SD‑K

“I will bury you with wild cards.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYAjdsqNet

(beat, then softer)

“…and keep you out of trouble. Per Jason’s orders.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqbnaqXwPB

SD‑A (smiles over his cards)

“Thanks, Mom.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOflj0QAxF

SD‑K

“Play.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVyjOoA7D

Camera pulls back: two fugitives in thrift‑store fashion, bonding over a fridge‑chilled UNO deck—while the spoon‑king watches in silent judgment.
