Early morning, Mumbai.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1oOMZRMgE
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBxZbx2RDU
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
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEXb149oP7
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe67Q9Hq4k
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrvsVXICHH
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
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbwATu5IS0
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKcFIcbwfA
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutbKrthNkr
“Kabeer.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cH0cWgUtb
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaRGHYBbFy
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY4zM4jsZy
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdbUgDgWAv
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgHZZ3AsZV
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcy4Z6Zjn0
“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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj1ajj9F4R
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO5o4rmin4
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WtKft0SS7
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:
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfrcxZjAQ7
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvPWdaA9uh
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU88fM1Y9dz
A new name flashed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnISlqhgiV
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeirITHB9My
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRCJYOo3u4
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UuGTEwW8y
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN48lYlrIvs
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk7NKJkrmy
Kiara’s voice.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5xA6vuGQ8
"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."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAXFdkjKxF
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxRDKpVTM
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxIuj8U6MO
"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko0KAt5V8n
Kiara… I will find you."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHmWw6Gn66
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
