EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
79Please respect copyright.PENANA8SP033Dzvj
The trio steps out of the cozy warmth of Cabin Fever and into the amber-tinted streets. Jason stretches his arms over his head, a faint groan slipping out.
A hums a little tune, clutching a plastic bag with leftover pancakes, while K fiddles with a toothpick he stole from the counter.

JASON
"Alright, dynamic disasters. Meal's done. Now we’re running a couple errands."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA8MKDQPUauC
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAzFJNSbbcc2
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAnRP8MYWTm8
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.

JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAC5ILLj1imq
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAB5T37Xbfx7
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAwpM1ch61hS
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAV3MsoD60Nu
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
79Please respect copyright.PENANASU621wAHsw
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA4AT3E6YiAA
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
79Please respect copyright.PENANASCf7rTUwNW
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAXq84DVnWnv
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAxDhbhN1K5p
They turn the corner. Neon signs flicker and hum overhead as small shops and vendors line the streets, the city still a little restless after the HQ incident but trying to fake normalcy.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAfuSzlkEvg7
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAa5lLsHlndI
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAj338n0sYDD
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
79Please respect copyright.PENANASJilIBpAk3
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAdDvkwlPCkB
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAiC4sordMiF
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAawh6pPqB2t
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA3gQHL80c4s
FADE OUT.
