Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ2jFnPXtt
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIcODv6xFd
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CrEcCM4PQ
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7025fpVjPY
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxl2xIGubK
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxmjK0n6to
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmzcjg79Vk
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0QgGgbHrM
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSag7cxXpBm
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."

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcm17cXPMv
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fkuCYG1GC
The memory sliced through him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmDnITiBuL
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB3scQTdch
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOayFdx3toj
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOKp8qIu1f
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ZvvrPtNf
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmc89UucRU
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UtZ8nfcl4
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4NJFsvY8
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO4cBcnPBS
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrlKJAf4Jf
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgGShXlqR6
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kIeULfhb3
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy6PMJIKxy
“Vikrant.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUW9pmTIM
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67bgaggBoA
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstaMCmeShL
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mZCv6twNg
> “Still alive, are you?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Slhf2rT8
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xcp2Dx6eV
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZttkJKLr4
He turned.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYmomDeKat
Vikrant.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz60efSdqRa
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnsJYMNlTJ
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebhq6WTRao
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8W1IyHiW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfuuFOjvLP
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezkPqnemNC
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdIxG2NkNC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyU9iaX7sL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dehfwE88x
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1QnZhICAQ
The screen flickered, then stopped.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoMFblCI4l
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTsljXX4kE
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocHm0RgbAJ
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanUZKlzSof
Back at the CBI.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4o7I465Cv
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyfrgYM5rm
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvEcvrcBUU
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzuQNrcOPE
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANy47B3t18
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUqCCaY6Hj
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
