INT. JASON’S CUBE – MID MORNING
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrxsHEH0pZ
[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.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN65gJD0z6F
SD-K (to himself)
“Jason said ‘behave.’ He didn’t say what kind of behavior.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU84IbojYZ
[He cracks his fingers, even though he doesn’t technically need to, and begins his unauthorized, totally scientific exploration.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlnxvX7wjK
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.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBfuEtWS4K
SD-K
“Well well… rich in chaos. Poor in organization.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XEzppvMl
[He picks up the pile, weighs them in his hand.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyFaevFrgC
SD-K
“Compensation for psychological damage.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLJVPgpqzB
[He pockets the cores like someone who has zero intention of returning them.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmg6UIGvKS
PHASE 2: THE BOOK NO ONE SHOULD OWN
[Under the bed, he discovers a dusty, partially crushed book with the title: "Twilight".]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlLKhP4T2Y
SD-K (reading the title out loud)
“…Twilight.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzBwFXQwWq
[He flips it open, scans a few lines, and freezes.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCEMoZadDC
SD-K (monotone)
“She described his pale skin like marble… again. That’s the fourth time in two pages.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9bYp88lJI
[He slowly closes the book and stares into space, questioning everything.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDYXMpqTxN
SD-K
“This explains so much about Jason’s lack of emotional depth.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS1IxfXwtF
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.”]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH7oN8t0nV
SD-K
“Hm. Healthy coping mechanisms. Very subtle.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6q8AC2qpv
[He inspects the rifle, checks the chamber, clicks it back. Then sets it aside casually like it’s a pair of boots.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC3Gl9DUxJ
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.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDGurQHTE
SD-K (dry)
“…And here I thought he quit.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFKv5WdR4D
[He picks one up, shakes it.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWB5AoMPr0
SD-K
“This isn’t withdrawal. This is hoarding.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQn0gGgDAc
[He finds another small note stuck on the side of one pack.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1I3vIUIwg
“Just in case the world ends again.” – J.G.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapbxlEkmc
SD-K
“Rational. Apocalyptic chic.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvjbCrwS5R
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.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oPdIl4sJX
SD-K
“…What in the name of binary chaos…”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm0AudKJwJ
[He stares at it for a full ten seconds.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59QnSVkqst
SD-K
“…Is this his god?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyjI25f9u8
[He cautiously backs away.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATs9FqUPtB
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.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEavUc2bdc
SD-K
“This place is a walking contradiction with legs. And an axe arm.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGji18e2TPs
[A beat. SD-A rolls over in bed and murmurs something incoherent.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxB7Ut3CKi
SD-K
“...And I chose to be here. I chose this.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKvvrhCZ0U
[He returns to his chair, dramatically flopping down with all the exaggerated flair of someone who needs therapy and won't get it.]
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtT4syJSZU
SD-K
“Hope he gets home soon. I have questions. Lots of them.”
