Early morning, Mumbai.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMPLu8lJ7MD
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.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAgfrYDZGGKa
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.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAiuJe5lSBW4
"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
242Please respect copyright.PENANAjJgvXio2Vg
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.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAdh0pbf5xOL
"Why did you let me forget, Kiara? Was that butterfly tattoo on your hand… a signal? Or a warning?"

Back to Present
242Please respect copyright.PENANAsIcvRkl8fm
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
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFKxeN4HfjI
The same garage where he’d first met Vikrant.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAKBaiRmjj0H
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.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXzOKzutd5h
“Kabeer.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANABkOFbSbmVi
Vikrant’s former hacker-in-arms. Now a freelance ghost for RAW.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAqmaeYpzkri
"This place doesn't just hide memories, bhai…" Kabeer said, handing Yuvaan a small encrypted chip, “…it hides truths too.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAchOJ6UKReL
“This contains what RAW never wanted you to know — Kiara’s real identity. And the proof of Vaidya’s black ops.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2g23lOpN5p
Yuvaan didn’t speak. He just took the chip and left.
No rage. No tears.
Only purpose.

Scene Cut – Mr. Vaidya’s Hidden Office
242Please respect copyright.PENANAcxbLSQ9W8m
A room drenched in stillness. Vaidya stood in front of a mirror, adjusting his tie.
No guilt in his eyes. Only foresight.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAZQKhzS4DlO
“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.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAqhTLf4eR83
He reached into a drawer, pulling out a sleek, glowing shard — a backup memory key.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAdOl1VqVdOu
Just in case.

Back to Yuvaan
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMrowgmwj1n
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:
242Please respect copyright.PENANAF7lgJ4QWti
“PROJECT PHOENIX”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYmrRNMXjOe
“What the hell is this…” Yuvaan muttered, eyes widening.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA3v099FVaFz
A new name flashed.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAE8BgNBe3DH
Kiara Fernandes – Subject #9, Project Phoenix.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA9syxd3ck4C
The shock hit like a fist to the chest.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAWeqX16olSI
“Kiara… was an experiment?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANArAwSOzrv8Y
He staggered back.
“Then… everything? Her love… her memories… was it all a lie?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAN0JCz8XP1g
The screen shifted. A voice message played.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAkcQpPqh8jF
Kiara’s voice.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAorBZ4LDNkA
"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."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFRTVMzZicw
His eyes burned.
Not with anger. With pain.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAqdnrbUnBqJ
He shut the chip down slowly, whispering into the silence:
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4IXO8GCIQ4
"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAmvDOIcG7SN
Kiara… I will find you."
242Please respect copyright.PENANADKc5QlrOca
And for the first time in days, a single tear fell.
