Early morning, Mumbai.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6cMH0aWWb
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeThWLYUFxW
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
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4yVFgACpI
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GaaSPI8Cv
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWEpQ7b0Yz
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
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflDuWryAEm
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZEC8lyj3q
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpeDMQ3d6B
“Kabeer.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsl5I9xEC7
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuBYDzVH7o
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcE4rFKgSE
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzajN32724
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoNmX29jgR
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI3ju5LrF9
“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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau2b2pqkVJ
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaWk6IJ54K
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP0NV7tr2k
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:
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Un3eRqVX
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFmDZQnsLw
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9zsMKVrPJ
A new name flashed.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlx5PmtXjk
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHOYe5oZ9
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCNf6g0qXd
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKypEgfTuFb
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2cBaXjXB6
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlczKctw7ez
Kiara’s voice.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvJiin9b9q
"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."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxHYxhcAxt
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezoXfngOXf
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXOMcyVPhQ
"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85oKWGgpNg
Kiara… I will find you."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuzCTqMqB6
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
