Early morning, Mumbai.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgqTDa9yzi
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGXGhidDR6
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
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevntDXojwa
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFHN5HARNQ
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzznngrYSIk
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
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXGyahRRLK
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZtOhlBx1K
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO4K0mOxJ1
“Kabeer.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcT9SbDqzA
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgLmra9Ao1
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzRJ8MsTkg
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjzLedBXCx
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXX5za1O3j
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSkciFA7VU
“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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDtCIFO6aO
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo989Ca5VE
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl3DjayN9g
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:
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmGtRHUtKv
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCRNEvSfXM
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9EZwvUkdV
A new name flashed.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlPzXrNBCL
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48OEQFDCYF
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVHpXyy46R
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvyFCcnVo7
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcA1RtJsvP
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8sHqYYnh4
Kiara’s voice.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0eRVgJGn
"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."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCERYLAgPT
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzEDplEsOF
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdUtkZbz2C
"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgU0KhfP0
Kiara… I will find you."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphNF14J5Wp
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
