Scene 1 — Tashu at his Apartment
Tashu sits on the floor, knees hugged, still catching his breath.
The city outside is quiet, but he knows it's temporary.
Tashu (thinking):
"She… Ayanthi… said she remembers me. But why? How?"
A blue light flickers on his window.
Ayanthi appears — not walking, but floating lightly.
Ayanthi:
"Sit up, Tashu. We need to talk. Now."
Tashu stands, wary.
His body still aches from partial psycho mode.
Tashu:
"…Talk? About what? You're from the Academy, right? Why are you here?"
Ayanthi floats closer, calm but serious.
Ayanthi:
"…Because I was once like you."

Scene 2 — Flashback: Ayanthi's Past
The world around them changes.
Stars swirl.
The walls of the apartment dissolve.
Tashu sees a distant Academy, shimmering gates, cosmic skies.
Narration (Ayanthi's memories)
Years ago…
She was a top Watcher candidate at the Omniversal Academy.
Trained in observation, manipulation of fate, and cosmic balance.
Her mission: monitor the most dangerous prodigies.
And she met Tashu Inyan — young, overpowered, yet sealed.
Young Ayanthi (16, whispering to herself):
"He's… different. His power… it could erase everything if it breaks."
She was ordered to keep him under observation.
But she grew attached.
She saw humanity in him… and it scared the Council.

Scene 3 — The Tragedy
One day, during a training simulation:
A rift opens accidentally
Tashu's curse partially activates
Ayanthi sees entire training grounds collapse
Many students vanish
Young Ayanthi (screaming):
"Tashu! Stop! Don't—!"
But the Council intervened.
They sealed Tashu permanently —
and erased her memories of him to maintain protocol.
Narration:
Ayanthi's soul carried fragments of his presence…
That's why she felt him immediately on Earth.
And why her subconscious pulled her to him.

Scene 4 — Present: Ayanthi Explains
Back in Delhi.
Ayanthi looks at Tashu, eyes glowing faintly blue.
Ayanthi:
"Tashu… I was one of your Watchers. I've been bound by oath to protect you… even when I didn't remember why."
Tashu is silent.
His mind races — fragmented memories, faint feelings of déjà vu.
Tashu:
"…You… knew me before?"
Ayanthi (softly):
"Yes. You saved my life once… in the Omniversal Academy.
And now… my purpose is to keep you alive again."
She steps closer.
Tashu (gripping fists):
"…Why me? I'm sealed… weak… nothing."
Ayanthi (firmly):
"You are far from nothing.
The seal is breaking… faster than we expected.
If you lose control, Delhi won't be the only thing destroyed."

Scene 5 — First Shadow of the Villain
Suddenly, a chilling wind enters the apartment.
A dark figure appears outside the window — barely visible, yet oppressive.
Ayanthi (tense):
"…Zeraph Lune's shadow. He's already here."
Tashu (whispering, angry):
"…Then it begins."
The dark silhouette vanishes into the night.
But the feeling of fear and danger lingers.
Narration:
Tashu realizes — even on Earth, he cannot escape the Omniverse.
And Ayanthi… she is the only link to his past, the only person who can guide him.
---
Scene 6 — Decision
Tashu kneels, looking at his hands.
Power sealed… yet stirring.
Partial psycho mode flashes through him briefly — violet eyes glowing.
Tashu (thinking):
"If I can't control it… then everyone dies.
But if I do… maybe I can finally live again… and face my past."
He stands, facing Ayanthi.
Tashu:
"Alright… guide me. But I warn you…
If anyone threatens this city, I won't hold back."
Ayanthi (nods, serious):
"Then we start. Tonight."
A cosmic aura flickers faintly around both of them —
an unspoken promise that Delhi's quiet night is just the beginning.
Chapter 3 Ends.
