Scene: Inside Akira's Spaceship

  Inside Akira's spaceship garage, Nee is working on new components that John has brought from the city. The dim lights create a warm, constructive atmosphere, with the sound of tools echoing through the garage. Outside the spaceship, Neela and Kyle observe their surroundings, looking for signs of danger or surprises. Meanwhile, John is inspecting materials and supplies in the storage area.

  Nee: (happily) "This piece is ready!"

  Akira: (appearing beside Nee, smiling) "Do you think this one will work? We still have many damaged components left."

  Nee: "But you told me to take it slow."

  Akira: (calmly) "Ah, sorry. I'm just worried."

  Nee: "Alright, Akira! Let’s go to the protective chamber and install this piece to see if it works."

  Akira checks his laser pistol carefully and responds seriously:

  Akira: "Alright, let's go."

  Inside the protective chamber, an unknown figure remains seated, while Akira keeps his pistol aimed at them. Nee is focused on installing the first completed component into the device.

  Akira: (keeping his weapon trained on the figure) "Nee, how do we know if this will work?"

  Nee: (focused) "I don’t know… Maybe I need to fix the other components first to be sure."

  Nee carefully inserts the component into the device while Akira remains on high alert.

  Akira: "Be careful! Anything could happen."

  Neela and Kyle are unaware of the protective chamber’s existence, as Akira decided to keep it a secret from them—John and Nee agreed.

  The scene ends with Nee intensely working on the device while Akira remains cautious. Tension fills the air, knowing that their success could shape the group’s future.

  Setting:

  Inside the protective chamber, Nee carefully inserts the component into the device. The room’s speaker emits an indistinct transmission, but Nee ignores it. Meanwhile, a server in the corner activates, casting a dim glow across the space. Nee examines the component—it seems functional. Akira watches the device with curiosity, deep in thought.

  Nee: (thoughtfully) "Akira, did you see? It worked!"

  Nee: "This is the first piece..."

  Akira: "Yes, but... only the lights turned on. We don’t know if they lit up because of the component or something else."

  Nee: (glares at Akira, frustrated)

  Akira: "Don’t look at me like that. Let’s see what happens next."

  Nee: "How can you say that? I made this piece. Now we just need to see if it actually works."

  Akira: "Nee, we're not alone in this room. That person isn't just resting."

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Nee: "You're right. We need to stay cautious."

  Setting:

  Akira and Nee finish working on the component, lock the protective chamber, and return to the workshop. Nee eagerly begins working on another piece, while Akira surveys the workshop and decides to take a break. He quietly leaves and heads to the restaurant.

  At the restaurant, Akira looks for John but doesn’t find him. After searching, he heads to the storage area.

  Akira: (calling out) "John! Where are you?"

  John, busy writing an inventory list, hears Akira’s voice.

  John: "I'm here! What's going on?"

  Akira: "We just installed a component. Everything is progressing well."

  John: (turning to Akira) "That's great. Glad to hear it."

  Akira looks at John and then continues.

  Akira: "Don’t you think it’s time to assign a room to Neela and Kyle?"

  John thinks for a moment before responding.

  John: "I believe the empty room next to storage would work for them."

  Akira: (satisfied) "I trust your judgment."

  Akira steps outside the spaceship, where Neela and Kyle are waiting.

  Akira approaches Neela and Kyle.

  Akira: "Kyle, Neela, we’ve assigned a room for you. Follow me."

  Neela and Kyle exchange curious glances before following Akira.

  Akira shows Neela and Kyle their new room.

  Akira: "This room is empty for now. John is preparing the furnishings. We’ll bring in a bed and chairs. For now, make yourselves comfortable."

  Neela and Kyle share a glance before stepping inside, looking slightly hesitant.

  Neela: (softly) "This place feels like a prison cell."

  Kyle: (nods slightly) "Yeah... but thank you."

  Akira nods in acknowledgment before heading back to the storage area.

  In the storage area, John is working on assembling a chair and table. Akira joins him with a smile.

  Akira: "Let me help. What have you done so far?"

  John: "I’m putting together a chair and table. We need to create a comfortable space for Neela and Kyle."

  Akira assists John, and the two continue working while exchanging lighthearted conversation.

  Akira: "They seem to need some calm—this should help."

  John: "Yes, hopefully, it makes them feel more at home."

  The scene gradually fades, showing Akira and John’s tired but content faces as they work together. Their collaboration and friendship steadily strengthen within the group.

  Scene: Calm in the Empty Room

  In the recently assigned room for Neela and Kyle, a simple, empty space remains. Sitting together, they observe their surroundings. Neela tries to stay optimistic.

  Neela: (hopefully) "Even an empty room like this is good for us. After so long in space, just having a place to rest is enough."

  Kyle: (frustrated) "So you’re saying we’re prisoners? This room has nothing—not even a window! It doesn’t feel like home at all."

  Neela: (calmly) "Kyle, just be patient. Maybe this place will be good for us. At least we have somewhere safe."

  Kyle looks at Neela with slight irritation, then falls silent.

  Suddenly, Akira and John arrive with beds and supplies. Neela immediately stands up to help.

  Neela: "Thank you! Let me help you."

  Neela takes the items from Akira and John as they set up the beds in the room. Kyle remains seated, watching curiously.

  John: (while setting up the beds) "These beds are clean and comfortable. I hope you feel at ease here."

  Akira goes back to the storage area and brings in two chairs. Now, the room has two chairs and two soft beds.

  Neela: (to John) "If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know!"

  John: "Yes, come with me to the storage area—we’ll bring the tables."

  John and Neela head toward the storage area. Kyle gradually shakes off his hesitation and approaches Akira.

  Kyle: (hesitantly) "I can help too, if that’s alright!"

  Akira: (smiling) "I’d be happy for the help! Let’s make this room better together."

  Kyle joins Akira in arranging the furniture, placing the chairs in suitable spots.

  Akira: "Thanks, Kyle! The room looks much better now."

  Just then, John and Neela return with tables, placing them appropriately.

  John: "Now this feels like both a bedroom and a living area. I hope you find comfort here."

  The atmosphere in the room now feels warm and inviting. Neela and Kyle exchange glances—and for the first time in a long while, they both smile.

  Neela: "I really appreciate all of you. This place actually feels like a new home."

  The scene gradually fades with the image of tired yet satisfied Neela and Kyle, alongside Akira and John, proud of their efforts.
