Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLFeAm9UNq
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkfhoYOAlv
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC7GcZGvj6
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktLZ8ZEehH
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF6O90fga6
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMavnMhvaX
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjUXIijCe8
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaVZeZbusV
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJSvdDfKCq
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."

Back to Present
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw53glB29bz
The memory sliced through him.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2gKCLZSUt
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK9oXQQBv4
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMer2MCmNf
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVuv4tuYIm
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMmla47h7S
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNWrjDAGHf
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSrl8YhLtZ
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ipcopVfba
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8RDxDD1mi
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyS0Pt2Ev4
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tUyXGEZ7r
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBgQC2xerS
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4S8ltyJ1h
“Vikrant.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjLI0YoKcc
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiu5MojKlV
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEyHX70mcH
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a7ysfsnKl
> “Still alive, are you?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFP7yh4ex7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXznbaqNK3T
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFa2yPwYXa
He turned.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KFLDnLB3y
Vikrant.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB1oCoIo2Q
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAjISD15X2
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTIxNnycIT
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW63FFCZbBG
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXD7Q8VMxe
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrexvnhZq0S
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVWV1TxM0Y
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vHvNFvVKb
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvD9nafHuO
The screen flickered, then stopped.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga2BPL9ass
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0Ogbj2hW
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrtIMN5C2I
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EP1dPAQie
Back at the CBI.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDInKOV3KMK
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPZJZy78hC
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRfmWVpwS7
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeftjmo6d82
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr1Z6oSSK5
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjfSWjcd2X
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
