Early morning, Mumbai.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPcbhikJb2
The city was just beginning to stir, lights flickering awake like sleepy eyes. But Yuvaan hadn’t slept. Not for days. Sleep had been replaced with suspicion… and shadows.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXArpEUE8o
He sat alone on his worn-out sofa, the dim light of the overhead bulb casting long, distorted shapes on the floor. In his hand, he clutched an old wristwatch—its ticking the only sound in the silence. With every second, his fury deepened.

"Mr. Vaidya… RAW… the asylum… it’s all connected. Was I just a pawn? Or something else entirely?" he whispered to himself. But as always, silence answered.

FLASHBACK
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHkTrm9paG
A flicker—faint but sharp—ripped through his mind: the hologram. Vaidya’s voice echoing within it, revealing that someone else had tampered with his memories. A glimpse of Kiara flashed behind his eyes—those haunted eyes, as if hiding a secret behind every blink.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJXpsr42Je
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEZxe24xNZ
Yuvaan reached for an old folder lying under a heap of files. Its label was worn and barely legible. “Operation Sagam.”
His first mission.
The one nobody ever talked about.
The one even the system had tried to erase.

Scene Shift – Abandoned Garage
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedJzM62MQE
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFPNBqzT1u
But this time, it wasn’t Vikrant waiting inside. A new face emerged from the shadows — lean, intense, fingers stained with solder burns and ink.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcjZm5kmDF
“Kabeer.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6N8Ke2KbL
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyNCaHauhf
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoBtqAy6Mf
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCRadtIeQo
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOqZmxVmb9
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6cT2Ekajg
“Yuvaan must’ve started to see through it all… but he doesn't know everything. If he activates that chip… it won't just expose Kiara. It’ll bring the entire system to its knees.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7mVr9RrWq
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccX3IIQkiU
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VVSKoYc7j
He slid the chip into his secure decoder.
The screen blinked.
A virtual room materialized — data swirling around him. Classified documents. RAW operative names.
And above all… one phrase:
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVwhSQmC4w
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztKDEUe0Rr
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbwmIaKvne
A new name flashed.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlWOJDSF26
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3uD9Cxfe0
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWehHq6BWaR
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmT9VT1icx
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm80LhWFQy
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ShFC6QXb
Kiara’s voice.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJst2Th2Ege
"Yuvaan… if you’re hearing this, I’ve failed. But know this—I didn’t lie to you. I protected you. They created me… but you? You made me human."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76zaIkpe78
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtDZzZgIOb
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fWqJpLyJa
"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uDqwx4RUD
Kiara… I will find you."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Gs7aBWzL
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
