Yuvaan was breathing like fire — each gasp flaring up like a restless storm. In the darkness of the tunnel, only the echo of his footsteps remained… and the faint blue glow of the ancient device.

Beep… beep…
A signal blinked on the device’s screen.
Something inside the chip was reacting — a signal, old data… or maybe… a memory?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae5UVkGSnO
He picked up the device. A holographic projection appeared on the screen.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKtepWHIdd
A girl.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPjS1d1kEL
There was recognition in her eyes… but the face — unfamiliar.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnFyUEo5aS
>“You forgot me, didn’t you, Yuvaan?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xnoGs5FW9
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUGcwxBJTS
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS4Q7ttXtR
Her words held no force, just a tired sadness.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxizD1jNlGP
“But I never forgot you…”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvkfVLsKHm
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxTZvUuuxJ
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy9pA7GCZX
Yuvaan’s mind stumbled.
Who is this girl? Why don’t I know her?
And why does she know me… like this?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPOOe3OFFa
A lightwave from the device triggered the chip.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTScPQ7HOjy
Suddenly, another memory surfaced — a fractured one.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCecABQ3Nu
A glimpse of a small lab.
A man in a white coat. His name on the board: Mr. Vaidya.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuOgJASdT2
| “Subject Y.M. revived. Chip integrated successfully.
But there’s something inside him… something different.”

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhjYvgYo0U
Scene shift —
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnYSF1jKwV
After a flash of white light, Yuvaan was in another memory.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8tTfJzOY2
He lay on a concrete floor, blood pooling near his head.
Three silhouettes leaned over him.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpbs047O2R
One said, “Knowing this much became dangerous for him.”
The second pulled the chip from his eye.
The third one whispered, coldly —
“This is not the end… this is the beginning.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmrllKJjb7
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkUeeVC1kU
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWok9wwoBuR
And then… blackness.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf6VBv8A2r
Back in the tunnel, Yuvaan stared at the screen.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPPg2Ashdi
A name blinked in glowing text:
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd2dEQisZc
“Project 7M - Vaidya Log 41A: Keyholder Activated.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcmQUJthik
His hand trembled.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTROQr4pJ1
Vaidya… the chip… the girl…
Everything felt like part of a larger design.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6LB2Xe6l4
But who made the design?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sZsoMq9QA
Just then, the chip pulsed again. But this time, something else was triggered.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeuz4hLvyQ
A map was scanned from the device — the coordinates pointed to the outskirts of Old Delhi.
An abandoned asylum.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb5RafAaLz
The same place where a “Black File” mission had once been conducted.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIbSS32rTU
Another flash —
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxczqbcHiZe
This time, Mr. Vaidya’s face was crystal clear.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFTeZderJw
“If he ever comes back… send him to the asylum.
That’s where his truth lies.
And that’s where… his real face will awaken.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcRnNnwqom
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKetZnQZXW
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwN6eFcqib
As Yuvaan reached the tunnel’s exit, he heard footsteps behind him.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9sVMyGgGZ
He slowly turned.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6imJ1JpvQ
A shadow — tall, silent.
With a calmness in its eyes… so deep, even death looked small before it.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrSU2P128D
“Welcome back, Keyholder.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPGBF35y3z
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT9YVJ6WU5
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCF79M0DAP
There was something in that voice — a strange vibration.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VsfZvMv3m
Like a scream… hidden inside a forgotten identity.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5OVzXFbOl
Yuvaan gripped the device tight.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR15em8G7ZB
It was time to go to the asylum — to meet the truth.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLEwC5njys
The one tied to his death…
to the chip inside him…
and to the girl he never knew…
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUesfjd36DS
…But who never stopped remembering him.
