Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkriQHecKrV
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbby8aC1Po3
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡravE1eDxQt
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK5Bqloe6F
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwmHHJfIhA
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz0ZFmmWDn
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWMx3kqKaM
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZgEjz2CI
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjMJFO2hfG
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
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0d7R8Oa4Q
The memory sliced through him.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMfj57I6Xq
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagWBhr35a
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPH18ahCv8
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07iFPQEaM4
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6MlXPOjeE
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xR3iznN6X
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PzxCsM4vi
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rEDh0cBqU
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1lDbask9
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e1Rt1AHBF
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO68hZd07f
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2awJogA0q
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHno9nI0JN
“Vikrant.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PL3LqLAuT
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh3ZLZuOqn
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6YT83BCi
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQgp5cxsRS
> “Still alive, are you?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoRCnfoVFr
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIpJ582vo9
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Pkw3uvJk
He turned.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEzp7mqT4y
Vikrant.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV65rGjAgcf
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2CQVcFYJf
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKDXtyC6vt

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtfZOuG3w
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp02NqTvnz
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxXD2kVVe1
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzwDMZZAKu
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqbKbyzRyk
The screen flickered, then stopped.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmZxlwAGJU
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerfC4ANAoJ
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zu0XXOIHO
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkADe2Aax4n
Back at the CBI.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXcMlryKGf
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBaGHhRDBF
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ed4YNY6GC
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM1nPuci46
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMyzbKtNb4
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeaSJA4YEQ
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
