Early morning, Mumbai.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJeMVbsSKQ
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdxdXl5ux9
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
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVr9KdZ1jw
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmcWK3xzJ7
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQNjN7gzu0
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
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HIScVKcy6
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTnsVg7LCd
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ETwX99Ktb
“Kabeer.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINSBxi8gIE
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKFye8FCIc
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIBCm51Mgz
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJrPNrqHmC
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AY0WmTaw5
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pL2do6c9P
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7RMYIfIgg
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CYer08TS7
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnLRjm5KaF
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:
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdL5czBSfJ
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzh5YIAur9
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeUZt4DtBj
A new name flashed.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XBPSqeqwy
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDYS3LzcXU
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SkroXvQEF
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYhne7X4po
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuWAzCqO5G
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJEmITCed5
Kiara’s voice.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZG2LHE6Na
"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."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQaJBxOKGd
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxjA0fs0v0
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtJ0AmcSO8
"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3S1kbCtJ5
Kiara… I will find you."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsHxixEmC0
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
