Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QkzAMh0U5
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuKWG63Rnn
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0SwKMLUHi
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1gbekCd22
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUx62K4to8
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hQ05bCTIS
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXDVjvYDO9
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18jTuZjB6Z
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMh4HSYdE0
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
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthm5yWlc3l
The memory sliced through him.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedHSrZQABC
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRNKyfdYOf
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQnwK0q1dk
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK3yHL7S57
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI0A6bhgyR
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLIj9sTpyI
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrszz4bXeTl
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jCVBpJIFu
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dJLrmzcGZ
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYloAN0U4iP
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL714evkQZD
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZhfnnMQuq
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpYm4JbuAw
“Vikrant.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPUKsBlX6z
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfWWKqXtLg
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHOELPCY2
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL7xACatmn
> “Still alive, are you?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5b6PiY4Kc
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGgZ9kNeFP
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNXvfvhX6
He turned.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7i1XxehE0
Vikrant.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3j82eIMVv
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqB6xd4yoS
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxsi8cisGs

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUPN0JBU7L
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY5N1l4ume
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzDsazgMAc
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtaTnwUo7T
The screen flickered, then stopped.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAFQqjnL5e
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMjShcAgcw
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmYkpUnYzV
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgBh3Jhqof
Back at the CBI.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPArZjf1uS
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzewb8pRYrs
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYjZfosn0w
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBF4mWFcYX
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16xxVLlApV
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtS9ozBmho
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
