INT. JASON’S CUBE – FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1sGczPOrA
The crate‑table is now cluttered with three bowls of chili‑oil stew, half‑empty drink canisters, and the UNO deck ready for battle. The spoon‑king—one googly eye, one duct‑taped—presides from a shelf.

Jason slurps a spoonful, sighs like a rebooted fan.

JASON
“Spicy but edible. A miracle. All right, new tradition—post‑seminar rant followed by game night. A, deal.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFh8GK72z5
SD‑A shuffles cards with exaggerated flair, trench‑coat sleeves flapping.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Prz0yX8CN
SD‑A
“Prepare to face my rainbow of doom!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbHiGUCRxW
He deals. SD‑K, sunglasses propped on his head, flicks a card aside.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5BrW6STfJ
SD‑K
“Rainbow beats nothing. Statistics favour me.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhFwO65Zfe
JASON
“Statistics don’t account for wild cards—and cheating.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Bf3Q9R4M
Round one: A slams a Draw‑Four; K growls; Jason laughs until the chili hits wrong and he coughs.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Xc2tv0cV
A second later Jason’s texter beeps—Commander Nine‑2’s broadcast:

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO3TtMGodo
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVjwHWNXH
Jason snoozes it without a glance.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pTbwyoXgG
JASON
“Not thinking about work. Focus: destroying your egos.”

RAPID‑FIRE MONTAGE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgt1i7a9fr
Draw Two avalanche: K forces Jason to pick up eight cards; Jason swears creatively, A giggles.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hHmSB6942
Trench‑coat victory dance: A wins a round, spinning on skates; spoon‑king nearly topples.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tf41yzpXy
Chili‑refill pit stop: K ladles more stew, muttering, “Fuel for statistically inevitable revenge.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTbn0A0MH
Jason’s comeback: He chains a Skip‑Reverse‑Wild, slaps the table—“UNO, baby!”—only for A to hurl a sneaky Draw‑Two.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDjlvB0siO
Laughter echoes against concrete walls.

LATE NIGHT
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwisHLJ39P
Cards abandoned, the three lounge in mismatched seats.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoEFEwHbD1
JASON (lean back, relaxed)
“So, highlight of the week?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq58dfGI2h
SD‑A
“Barrel‑roll at sunrise.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCcqTzDdvg
SD‑K
“Finding functional clothing.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj7OJTQBP3
JASON
“Not dying in seminar. Close race though.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRx8NpYVSP
A gentle beep from the power grid; city curfew power‑dip. Lights dim to night mode—soft blue.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7lU8HIPK1
Jason stands, stretches.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOrPErhmUm
JASON
“Charge‑cycle time. Tomorrow’s patrol’s at dawn. No midnight welding, no toaster duels.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJcoc3Zp7k
SD‑K
“Counter‑proposal: midnight probability calculations.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmnz60m8hb
JASON
“Do them silently.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBA4C1EgiY
A crawls onto the bed corner, trench‑coat blanket style. K resumes his ceiling hang (now with leather jacket). Jason sighs amused, flops onto his half of the mattress.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgANiA2TwCS
JASON (soft)
“Good chaos, guys. Night.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5nSVgVvJO
The spoon‑king watches in crooked silence as the cube powers down—one by one, visors dim, but a quiet contentment lingers.
