Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQzAE0bjM
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePtVPcxhWP
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPebrjrGiF
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOkyPop4pi
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhkLLK1jsY
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac07MwmDKH
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbtVcMMqLA
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi9tdfOXaY
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF4nBcvriJ
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
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJP3WSq653
The memory sliced through him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr38pBaTyN
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O9RpNdiGl
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUSsddMgSu
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKrzFXYih1
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBbBHOiJ2s
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVL3XNEKad
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnH069M6rg
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXJYzFbjEG
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY4QiVliEW
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT6x89Hgwo
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPeAYiUFd6
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxAuzuVqQw
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH77OWhJ9W
“Vikrant.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Tm8k23by
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspwZFiPVc2
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuOCi161zn
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1f1cyK2Uo
> “Still alive, are you?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rEcSgd7XF
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9pQMDG7uc
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecsLVB8Xg3
He turned.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLohBlTdqzA
Vikrant.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i4TkecNbi
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2MC9qB2JT
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmKRiSy8hn

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXphPL5XNUP
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQQvTQ1SJL
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEAvcwyL0s
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD48AVg4OFY
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqThZsCgtE9
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO9PPKTHhZ
The screen flickered, then stopped.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEgBQqawdb
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyov4MU7GII
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6AStDmD7e
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene

Back at the CBI.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlGWQqhGpJ
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYmpdhYKlV
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnoTUOYHbm
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jlGgYyBwK
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dO8wFLVDY
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PHc8IRWjX
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
