INT. JASON’S CUBE – MID MORNING
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaGtqLmxeF
[SD-K, still very much awake and still very much annoyed, finally pushes himself up from the chair. He stares around the cube as if weighing the decision that he already made five minutes ago.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzDm2CKDSq
SD-K (to himself)
“Jason said ‘behave.’ He didn’t say what kind of behavior.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQW4GJ5HqA
[He cracks his fingers, even though he doesn’t technically need to, and begins his unauthorized, totally scientific exploration.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk5QR52CSO
PHASE 1: THE PILE OF SHINY THINGS
[He opens a drawer by the desk and immediately finds a small, haphazard pile of cred-cores—little glowing cylinders of varying sizes and values. He pokes them.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdj1QfhXSK
SD-K
“Well well… rich in chaos. Poor in organization.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL7WxcxbC0
[He picks up the pile, weighs them in his hand.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4DXTKx9Sl
SD-K
“Compensation for psychological damage.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l0z2XCbbW
[He pockets the cores like someone who has zero intention of returning them.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE8iEiLWIz
PHASE 2: THE BOOK NO ONE SHOULD OWN
[Under the bed, he discovers a dusty, partially crushed book with the title: "Twilight".]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR50xFHQci
SD-K (reading the title out loud)
“…Twilight.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v8NndLnjM
[He flips it open, scans a few lines, and freezes.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbDCGApqGh
SD-K (monotone)
“She described his pale skin like marble… again. That’s the fourth time in two pages.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLaae4vvlu
[He slowly closes the book and stares into space, questioning everything.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi3Ce0X0ho
SD-K
“This explains so much about Jason’s lack of emotional depth.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6WAEtKbwV
PHASE 3: THE VIOLENT ART WALL
[In a shelf with padlocks (which K opens with casual ease), he finds an assault rifle, some scattered bullets, and a paper tag that just says “Not for work use. Definitely.”]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXxGUxGlwq
SD-K
“Hm. Healthy coping mechanisms. Very subtle.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAvjT7Qvc
[He inspects the rifle, checks the chamber, clicks it back. Then sets it aside casually like it’s a pair of boots.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fa4VboJdF
PHASE 4: THE CIGARETTE CRISIS
[He finds a cardboard box labeled “Kitchen. Totally.” It’s full. When he opens it, inside are 30 unopened boxes of cigarettes, all still neatly sealed.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11wpCb6RmW
SD-K (dry)
“…And here I thought he quit.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkbirFD3nc
[He picks one up, shakes it.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9fJeqZbkV
SD-K
“This isn’t withdrawal. This is hoarding.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjEJphLDma
[He finds another small note stuck on the side of one pack.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3FRGkcadE
“Just in case the world ends again.” – J.G.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKTL5eIeic
SD-K
“Rational. Apocalyptic chic.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUSHkZnq4I
PHASE 5: THE CRINGE ALTAR
[In the corner of the room behind some unused wires and a half-melted toaster, he finds a homemade sculpture—two spoons duct-taped together with googly eyes and a crown made of old bottle caps.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWZP9CXTUd
SD-K
“…What in the name of binary chaos…”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHpY9fXYjI
[He stares at it for a full ten seconds.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3JBh2a00u
SD-K
“…Is this his god?”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYOPfa1N8i
[He cautiously backs away.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEex0bCBDX
PHASE 6: THE CULMINATION
[Now arms crossed, he surveys the entire cube—the book, the cigarettes, the rifle, the money he now owns, and the spoon-king watching from the shadows.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXDCCfRvKf
SD-K
“This place is a walking contradiction with legs. And an axe arm.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0VhnA9H70
[A beat. SD-A rolls over in bed and murmurs something incoherent.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrlBKzsgzb
SD-K
“...And I chose to be here. I chose this.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH04N8Nxk2
[He returns to his chair, dramatically flopping down with all the exaggerated flair of someone who needs therapy and won't get it.]
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ge2t6TpR
SD-K
“Hope he gets home soon. I have questions. Lots of them.”
