Early morning, Mumbai.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGY7ZN1tJv
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiwR4KDbcA
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
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzJmj3EviZ
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a40LgH8WE
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSCqN2EAL3
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
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YjBwKFeqK
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ57LdncOE7
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfyvAJqDy
“Kabeer.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDPJhEk4py
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWTLFaSqz
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VowMAxNfL
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHJZTqq1oB
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bBm5Dstik
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPfU03TJfG
“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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tQCrpLy6H
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOlhtxl1cb
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSJyq1d4NY
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:
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ307azK2Qpo
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ft5etu3I
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dotDLeBkq
A new name flashed.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIBDs02MFF
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E87FnaCiH
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHtY7s0KRX
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5gXzTNtvV
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpmlamMori
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgqAi8lIXa
Kiara’s voice.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKe5dUoS73
"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."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlZp1xzNGA
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJLay2o7tK
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJibvD09oPz
"
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nEmz6KINV
Kiara… I will find you."
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoGXT1oy2I
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
