Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IHorEPWWH
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj398KNMdag
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9A6c5B4WU
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTuHmQ2cNi
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JN66A9QPl
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb8HMbB5by
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH46bKwuXS
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeDVeSaLzc
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Pe8CBinQ
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.

> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."

All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHRZuu0yzR
The memory sliced through him.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vzJBCl23z
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWLdLOoiKw
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvctIN0QhJ9
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmXN6BE5e
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jNBYM3C6g
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMGkVJMAJ5
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0IIe76ZRn
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIFInudwj
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzS5NJrioJ
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY67sPhAv3u
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB8MOmdV0Q
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SqVUp3VhW
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvm051JQxK
“Vikrant.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h5Mg5u6wv
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDGIRPx4EX
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf2U0wirCQ
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MBngqgP8G
> “Still alive, are you?”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJu9jjqWMh
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25JpjL2jJ9
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS5ehbC6LZ
He turned.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpC50VRg8Q
Vikrant.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgvtbrP1qY
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98TOZolLUb
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpYexp9Fci

Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQBTLbilYk
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwWbvRnXGv
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7FdXSSVpm
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDvokUrebm
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKypTI8DSuR
The screen flickered, then stopped.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WmwzxYTGV
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQA1nEAoBj
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8czDoJ6fp
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiCtBClsvN
Back at the CBI.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOTtm22FE2
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKUaUnq9kT
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kCsm4j5sC
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOIwx2wJrz
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFdnHXUxNc
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2plgun1Rq
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
