Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljxIWv7KQY
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cIiGtuWCj
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgx8lB605t
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEip113xDHS
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeTHa4k6gl
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeReYGOfKC4
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA05Ppf3rr
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE5UGGpbfq
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbEZop9zwQ
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
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpffi3Xqz8
The memory sliced through him.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB6BjgXPS9
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxj2W0Kdce
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmK4PQ6d9b
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRX9iMrQkN
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCzUZy9YMk
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVClqVQk6R
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNP0tbH5qz
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuis1YJEhx
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3Y6aaN2T
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqlVDRnkTn
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeT8lPGayA
“Vikrant.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVlGuWVyhQ
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIcsmxfMGI
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ642lx4H13k
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAzztImrYY
> “Still alive, are you?”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWBUXaoc9K
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NKhDguK47
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1REdYUIgtu
He turned.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPCu33Xre
Vikrant.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KrYy6tNUh
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoxphS7k8p
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8zlB42h4y
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrCkbnjSsc
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO8HHe6ieS
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtP0LTm6DW
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlYE6uHuI
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UYazAj4wJ
The screen flickered, then stopped.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvbRcvKMeZ
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5E6LOut4g
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv8Sqw8hnl
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOn9wrTzr
Back at the CBI.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu3k7vckPb
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69y09mVETV
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNrGXCqC9Z
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJKXKIMcS8
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVnKCCVTmM
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwLcnv0qsb
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
