Early morning, Mumbai.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUyJ83AgZL
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCrPlpA7Mi
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
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD5LjMnGME
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEgfVoS46S
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JtJlS0tqa
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
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTC2qrAVcK
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXCERaEWql
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyPm0lA9bs
“Kabeer.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3e51a1ejj
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiCNRMmNhT
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc1LfDfXYF
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAhWgBWbO2
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMhARKpvpx
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhEYFNM8SQ
“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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W7ND1tQUN
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcEd76XzTH
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIq6lwWgjk
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:
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfM8K2DddE
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8mt3Bhn5I
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3U1YoPZH6
A new name flashed.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvgRvohUqH
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21RDH8kIj
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAESwMmv21H
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zPc6qwQvx
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFPOfC9ih7
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0NHejalbT
Kiara’s voice.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcfQDKQtho
"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."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrymKaydhw
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjBeze2DyV
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZzAY7uZRG
"
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgOt6GoUn
Kiara… I will find you."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpguzuypWJn
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
