INT. THE CUBE – EVENING
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdXvwuagr8
The room is dimly lit now, orange light from the window fading into deeper blue as the sky darkens. The TV glows brightly in the corner, illuminating their faces with giant robot fights and dramatic soundtracks.

ON SCREEN: “PACIFIC RIM”
Explosions. Jaegers. Kaiju. The world-ending chaos Jason loves.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKvngM1rxc
Jason’s sitting dead center on the couch, eyes wide, holding a bowl of oil-sprayed popcorn. A sits upright next to him, focused with textbook intensity. K is on the floor, back against the bed, arms folded, looking extremely unimpressed.

JASON (grinning like a kid)
“This. This is cinema. Art. Poetry. Soul. Purpose.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutE5XLry4x
K (dryly)
“This is… glorified metal-on-monster fanfiction.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHgomBKbaX
Jason slowly turns his head toward K, narrow-eyed, as if betrayed.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtB5vUJNv4
JASON
“Take. That. Back.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UnKreuv1M
K (without flinching)
“It’s like if someone gave a ten-year-old unlimited CGI and a brain injury.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOUOq0ppTr
JASON
“You’re hurting me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCvWE1kmer
A glances over, noticing Jason’s horror and K’s pure neutrality. Then casually turns back to the screen.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfoLtB1mKB
A (quietly)
“…The fight choreography is actually very clean. I like the camera angles. I wonder if the physics are real.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxQ6W6Nepi
Jason beams.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJi83Sxb3V
JASON
“See? Someone here has taste.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkpySlX8vG
K
“Taste in giant metal soap operas.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO7ryVyRBA
Jason throws a popcorn kernel at him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG478vi4h4G
K (without looking)
Missed.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFfVtfsp5x
Meanwhile, K’s tail, that thin black cable ending in a bayonet-like blade, has been occasionally swaying. It’s currently flicking sharply—side to side—like a warning sign. Jason notices.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx7g7sh9zD
JASON (mocking)
“Someone’s getting feisty. Tail says you’re annoyed.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6KGJS9Tyq
K (calm)
“I’m always annoyed. But thanks for reading my mood like I’m a house pet.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyfFpVjx4M
JASON
“You are like a really edgy cat.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShTZdcWFVa
A (genuine curiosity)
“So… tails express emotions? That explains a lot. Sometimes K’s tail sways like a happy puppy.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOQqXk0hgJ
K (suspiciously defensive)
“No it doesn’t.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGANbNjVCN
JASON
“Dude. When you read horror novels, your tail curls like it’s hugging the book.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwm3ST7rWC
K
“Stop watching me when I’m vulnerable.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdcSEdFT92
JASON (grinning)
“Too late. You're my favorite drama.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO163QH5EBM
They all settle in again. On screen, a Jaeger punches a Kaiju in the face with a battleship.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxjHvzYc3o
Jason cheers. A claps softly. K… blinks.

Outside, the last light fades. Inside, three weirdos live their weird life.
