Months Later – News Report

Breaking News:

A woman in her late twenties has been found dead in her apartment under mysterious circumstances.

Name: Sepharine "Sera" Dutt.

She was discovered this morning. Gunshot wound.

No witnesses.

No suspects.

No clues.

The investigation is ongoing, but authorities are baffled.

Neighbors report hearing nothing.

No struggle. No signs of forced entry.

Her apartment—locked from the inside.

Authorities stress: the motive is unknown.

Social media is erupting.

Shock. Fear. Confusion.

Sera Dutt, the young prosecutor who had taken on some of the most powerful men in the city...

is gone.

Funeral

The sky was heavy.

Rain threatened, but didn't fall.

A crowd had gathered quietly.

Raghav stood at the edge, hands trembling, his chest tight. He could barely breathe.

Nehra, standing a few feet away, didn't cry.

Her eyes were wide. Empty.

She said nothing.

The casket was lowered.

No one spoke above the soft whispers of the wind.

No one dared.

It felt wrong.

Too quiet.

Too still.

And yet the silence screamed.

Final Lines

Sera had walked through chaos, manipulation, and blood...

She had dismantled empires.

She had destroyed monsters.

But in the end...

even she couldn't escape the shadow of her own war.

And somewhere, in the stillness of the world she left behind...

the truth waits.

For now, her story is silent.

Her eyes, her voice, her rage—all gone.

And yet the world shivers, remembering her.

Because Sera Dutt wasn't just a fighter.

She was a reckoning.
