Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MoejK0AmD
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOHyKh5it1
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Dfx1Sw21
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNuyRIMRok
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABFLrcb73I
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXYZ8BpVBY
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra0thGfAz8
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPi76t2day
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqTQ1pmemn
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."

160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DtZAAfUki
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnR2jz9ro
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq5AXJaEZ5
The memory sliced through him.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhokuO4yj0a
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeoyvIM0nt
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuWy4riIoA
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96hUsvx4bM
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ4dXh6Uur
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8D0u7S5Cd
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEAs5F7Dhl
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89lMHlVOiI
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7amBlDLrn
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDDhkDoKaW
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX97LcAftq
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZfAgAiCGP
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96SvOCryhH
“Vikrant.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7lpSWeS7X
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumXaslOZ2Q
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfhmJE6YCr
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmvcrLla6F
> “Still alive, are you?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtwMHKZ1rA
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7npM7T42H
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eDrEnO2s0
He turned.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqmxAJVb6L
Vikrant.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYE0FaVfe8
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBk3SEVMin
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQzUNKrlZ
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pAt2lFg2
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIEgow5lZy
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsv2tSA7oD
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGrCfcBEN4
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQaV6jHy7a
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGKeysdedC
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjDeM644G
The screen flickered, then stopped.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEXvxugyIs
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisaJOwOC0y
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzQ9ToNjz9
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDJWnU2vBO
Back at the CBI.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa5lUMZ3c2
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl9PRVs2wp
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxAdlL4X1i
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAFYU4dbYu
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEp73QPLaL
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH1mjIEz3J
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
