Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5hjHExx7dS
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4muPtoRyYQ
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6j13OC8BHD
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFJiZ66Ehlj
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAY8AtiBDk3w
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwWDHr2Un9A
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAMxwZthqlCl
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAOsM44EpXF2
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
22Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPh8G7LVC
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2VP7zMSU1V
> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUWq8GDJTkE
22Please respect copyright.PENANAMpQneFJHO1
22Please respect copyright.PENANAxi7IOWFXle
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
22Please respect copyright.PENANAOqvty2zTFL
The memory sliced through him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPpoOBc33Bj
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANACzOnmjK6Ec
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8oQhJAUVm
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5LNoYhokzJ
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAjTctoNDzNv
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANABBHKK2fmA8
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
22Please respect copyright.PENANALXDCUB9xcO
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAdhmEdmKkFP
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANANbJrGvfarT
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAyyPitShjaE
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHksa5zLOUl
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZtGh1yC9hk
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
22Please respect copyright.PENANARM7KurDp3S
“Vikrant.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA1M9Zhy1uMR
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVc2RTwNLFN
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALrnGWxLA7n
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAMkpSXAKnpc
> “Still alive, are you?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAibkgLNWJAi
22Please respect copyright.PENANAMn6lmmvHn8
22Please respect copyright.PENANAfTAJk85hgL
He turned.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAK6mqdcFJoG
Vikrant.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWDG7Ny8t6K
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
22Please respect copyright.PENANArYtduGn448
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkwWQYlKwma
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFDQUcyNvIU
22Please respect copyright.PENANAslQVGqK9Gj
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWxStvVudXH
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAll4pWY1Adi
22Please respect copyright.PENANAxKHU7J1YOR
22Please respect copyright.PENANAaA830ODSS9
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJBWQ4VFmvk
The screen flickered, then stopped.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cpq2OlXVB
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7njosjfxY2
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
22Please respect copyright.PENANADWYjUBZjRq
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWixJGSij75
Back at the CBI.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAU94rcYTREU
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJRSqVhpnUj
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAjeif0phNLf
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYNsVj95Gtr
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAE7X2HRQP67
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA1VCsyDql2L
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
