INT. THE CUBE – EVENING
136Please respect copyright.PENANAx4rd767LqM
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.
136Please respect copyright.PENANAbYbjZsPz3Y
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.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAVZomYmwBA6
K (dryly)
“This is… glorified metal-on-monster fanfiction.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAwFg6FExWij
Jason slowly turns his head toward K, narrow-eyed, as if betrayed.
136Please respect copyright.PENANAxILrav1946
JASON
“Take. That. Back.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAtAy5esVQi2
K (without flinching)
“It’s like if someone gave a ten-year-old unlimited CGI and a brain injury.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAnvnAJiO1JU
JASON
“You’re hurting me.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAWlHU5m1xLa
A glances over, noticing Jason’s horror and K’s pure neutrality. Then casually turns back to the screen.
136Please respect copyright.PENANAf3y4cd1jGW
A (quietly)
“…The fight choreography is actually very clean. I like the camera angles. I wonder if the physics are real.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANATKkId8FRp9
Jason beams.
136Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wc4cnNtLV
JASON
“See? Someone here has taste.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANARWzjV5Ylz9
K
“Taste in giant metal soap operas.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAYVlt38hfu3
Jason throws a popcorn kernel at him.
136Please respect copyright.PENANAEZSwPGVip2
K (without looking)
Missed.
136Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vh1OrO1w6
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.
136Please respect copyright.PENANAbaBXAB04K1
JASON (mocking)
“Someone’s getting feisty. Tail says you’re annoyed.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAYi8xNRoFoJ
K (calm)
“I’m always annoyed. But thanks for reading my mood like I’m a house pet.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAKGonqjnCS2
JASON
“You are like a really edgy cat.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANASGyOldLfql
A (genuine curiosity)
“So… tails express emotions? That explains a lot. Sometimes K’s tail sways like a happy puppy.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAzJAwrf89mj
K (suspiciously defensive)
“No it doesn’t.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAZpPWETyBQZ
JASON
“Dude. When you read horror novels, your tail curls like it’s hugging the book.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAUTzaAiiYUB
K
“Stop watching me when I’m vulnerable.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAtmd7FtVgAI
JASON (grinning)
“Too late. You're my favorite drama.”
136Please respect copyright.PENANAYrOM4FEZml
They all settle in again. On screen, a Jaeger punches a Kaiju in the face with a battleship.
136Please respect copyright.PENANAh0bUuWytJy
Jason cheers. A claps softly. K… blinks.
136Please respect copyright.PENANAPvWkGxREAI
Outside, the last light fades. Inside, three weirdos live their weird life.
