INT. JASON’S APARTMENT CUBE – NIGHT – CPU DREAM MODE
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9fQlCUHca
[FADE IN on darkness. Slowly, we glide into the silent hum of digital idling. Wires whisper, soft blips echo. Inside these machines, dreams flicker to life—strange, fragmented things, half-data, half-imagination.]

DREAM 1: SD-K
INT. BLACK-AND-WHITE OFFICE – NIGHTMARE MODE
[SD-K sits at a painfully tiny desk surrounded by absurdly cheerful Labor bots wearing novelty hats. A banner reads: “SECURITY BOT CUSTOMER SERVICE MONTH!”]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAowqwDXY4em
MANAGER BOT (chipmunk voice)
“K! Smile bigger or you’ll be scheduled for another empathy seminar!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAD094c6yWME
[K’s smile is a jagged, glitchy attempt that crashes his facial display. Everyone claps politely. The printer next to him spits out a hundred "YOU'RE DOING OKAY" notes.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAb3RXjii3wL
SD-K (deadpan)
“This isn’t a dream. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAcmiQmsMBP5
[Suddenly, A skips in, dressed like a kindergarten teacher with glitter on his metal shoulders.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANA5VGoLpL39R
SD-A (DREAM VERSION)
“K! Today we’re going to learn how to hug!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAqkU1cIrJhi
[K is buried under a sea of plush heart-shaped cushions as circus music plays.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAhLbG53m7Nd
SD-K (V.O.)
“…please initiate kill command…”

DREAM 2: SD-A
INT. COTTON-CANDY LANDSCAPE – CHILDISH WONDER MODE
[SD-A rides a floating toaster across a glowing river of coolant, holding a flower made of wires. Tiny flying mugs with wings (not alive, just adorable) orbit him like happy satellites.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAf9idlGmYPE
SD-A (DREAMING)
“I’m the Champion of Circuitonia!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAn2LHuIe3yi
[He stands atop a mountain made of scrap and smiles heroically. Beside him is a smiling Jason in knight armor made of dish parts, waving a spoon-sword. K sulks nearby in a cardboard dragon costume, smoke puffs weakly from his vents.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAtP4PxbG6tI
SD-A
“We’ve defeated the Mean Protocols and saved the Data Princess!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAmEm6E7fMUK
K (DREAM VERSION)
“…I’m uninstalling myself the second I wake up.”

DREAM 3: JASON GEARMAN
INT. WEIRD, HALF-FINISHED LANDSCAPE – MIXED SIGNALS MODE
[Jason walks through a city like Central but full of mirrored surfaces. He passes reflections of himself—some smiling, some tired. His arm changes forms on its own: railcannon, axe, hand, bottle opener.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAykYW6uZmiU
[He sees K and A from a distance, walking into the crowd. He tries to follow but the ground turns to metal water. He stumbles. Then… a dinner table.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANA83Vl5eLypG
[Jason, SD-A, and SD-K sit around it. No lights, no jokes. Just the sound of ticking wires.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANA8ch1XrYIrF
JASON (DREAMING)
“They don’t belong here. But somehow… they do.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAtKi3e8iNjV
[SD-A laughs and tosses a screw at his face. SD-K just nods slightly before flickering out.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAF6c96a1L8p
[Jason is left alone, looking at an empty third chair. His hand morphs into a scanner, scanning nothing. He frowns, unsure if he’s supposed to feel peace or panic.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAKd7ND6YOnC
JASON (V.O.)
“What are we even doing…”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAtmd70eIyp2
[He looks at the scanner screen. It reads: “You’re not alone.”]

INT. JASON’S APARTMENT CUBE – MORNING
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHnROeihbij
[A faint light seeps through a crack in the window. Jason’s optics light up first. Then SD-A stirs, mumbling something about “muffin batteries.” K flickers online, groans at existence, and mutters something rude under his breath.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAgaRiu8DVJo
JASON (stretching)
“…Y’all dream too, right? Or am I just broken?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAPXgKfWpDvC
SD-A (cheerful)
“I defeated the evil codec king and saved the Power Princess!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAMMuQiuIKUy
SD-K
“I had a dream where you both exploded and I got promoted to King of Nothing.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA3EYPBWwsa2
JASON (grinning)
“Aw, you do love us.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAq6HMZTQD70
[They all stare at each other in silence. Then Jason shrugs and gets up.]
100Please respect copyright.PENANAXzjwMoqdyd
JASON
“Alright, dream team. Let’s wreck the next day.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAS4jWmLiPGU
FADE OUT.
