Late at night, Arjun clicks what looks like a routine bank alert—just another warning demanding quick verification. Within hours, his account is empty, and the system insists it never contacted him at all. But the messages don’t stop there. Someone is still replying to his thoughts, predicting his actions before he makes them. What began as a simple tap turns into something far more unsettling: a quiet experiment where Arjun isn’t the victim of a scam… but the subject of something far more intelligent watching from the other side of the screen.
