⚖️ [Scene 1 – Soul Tribunal: The Investigation Begins]
On the orders of Principal Vardhan, four students have been called to a secret interrogation room – all four are suspected of mysteriously murdering two students.
There are only 6 people in the room:
Principal Vardhan – the oldest in the academy and well versed in soul-knowledge
Master Viranth – the one whose one eye can see the waves of the soul
3 other students: Tavren, Aashni, Kael
And the fourth student… Ravik Suthar
The room is sealed. The soul cannot get out. A "Soul Resonance Bell" has been placed to catch lies – it rings on lies.

🕵️♂️ [Scene 2 – Principal's eyes and Ravik's smile]
The principal's eyes roam over everyone.
> "We know that one of these four… or more than one… was present on that rooftop that night."
"If someone lies… this bell will ring."
Everyone is silent.
Ravik sits quietly, eyes down, but mind racing:
> "The bell is based on the wave of the soul… but what if I change the layers of the soul?"
"Then even the lie will seem true."
--
💭 [Scene 3 – First question: "Were you on the rooftop that night?"]
Master Viranth asks:
> "Ravik… were you on the rooftop that night?"
Ravik raises his head. Eyes innocent.
> "No, Master. I was meditating in my room."
The bell is silent.
Everyone is shocked.
(Actually Ravik had changed his 'mind shadow' from inside with Soul Seed – so that the soul did not even vibrate with lies!)
---
🧠 [Scene 4 – Principal's trick: mental trap]**
Principal steps forward.
"If Ravik is innocent… then will he let us see everyone's soul?"
> Aashni trembles,
Tavren is angry,
Kael sweats,
Ravik just smiles.
Ravik:
> "Absolutely, but on one condition – you first examine Master Viranth's soul."
Silence prevails.
---
🎭 [Scene 5 – The trick behind the trick]
Principal's eyes narrow.
> "What do you mean?"
Ravik:
> "If we are examining students, why not teachers?"
"What if the real killer is among the teachers and they are setting a trap for us?"
Master Viranth is agitated.
The bell… rings softly.
Everyone is startled.
(Actually Ravik had already inserted a micro-seed into Master Viranth's soul — so that he shows a slight imbalance!)
---
🧩 [Scene 6 – Illusions and Echoes of Power]
The Principal pauses for a moment, then says:
> "The investigation will not stop. Ravik, Aashni, Kael, Tavren — you will all be monitored."
"But Ravik…"
> "The way you spoke… you are either innocent… or very dangerous."
Ravik bows, eyes gleaming:
> "I am just a player, sir. Who is running the game — you know better."
---
🕯️ [Scene 7 – Cut scene: Ravik alone in room]
Night.
Ravik writes something in his diary.
> "From today every soul will be a book for me. Some I will read, some I will burn."
"Like in chess every pawn is not necessary, but if it is in the right place… then even the king can fall."
Then he quietly takes out a map —
in which the direction of the Underground Gate has changed with Aashni's soul.

🌄 [Scene 1 – Ravik's lonely resolve]
In the light sunlight of the morning, Ravik is sitting alone on the roof.
There is no tiredness on his face – but there is restlessness in his eyes.
> "I have found the door…"
"But… those two soldiers had seen me that night."
"If I had opened that door… everything would have been over."
He clenches his fist in anger.
> "Now first of all I have to prove that I am not the murderer…"
---
🚪 [Scene 2 – Interrogation Room: All four students again]
Afternoon – Interrogation room of the academy.
The same four students are sitting again:
Kael – hands trembling
Tavren – standing up from chair in anger
Aashni – crying
Ravik – completely silent, absolutely still, without any fear.
Principal Vardhan and Master Viranth watch everyone silently.
> Principal (thinking):
"Three students are scared… but Ravik… he is so calm."
> "Is this the same confidence… that a murderer has?"
"Or… is it just a mask?"
---
🔦 [Scene 3 – Suddenly a teacher comes running]
Suddenly the door opens fast.
Master Rudhva, the history teacher, comes in panting.
> "Headmaster! I have found a clue!"
His eyes are shining, and a strange smile on his lips.
Ravik looks at his face…
and is shocked.
> "How is this possible?"
"What did he find?"
Ravik thinks to himself:
> "I kept everything clean... I didn't leave any clues... so what did he bring?"
---
🧩 [Scene 4 – Mental clash: Ravik vs Master Rudhva]
Principal Vardhan:
> "Tell me quickly, what is the clue?"
Master Rudhva looks at Ravik, and smiles slightly.
He looks into Ravik's eyes... as if saying: "I know what you have done."
Ravik's face hardens for a moment.
> "Did he get hold of the Soul Residue?"
"Or did some other soul see me?"
Principal continues:
> "Attention everyone... we may have found a clue that leads to the real murderer."
"Master Rudhva, tell me what did we find?"
---
🔚 Chapter End – Before the Reveal
Master Rudhva pulls out a small glass shard — glowing with soul energy.
Ravik shivers inside.
> "If this is what I think it is..."
"Then the game is about to change."
Cut scene – All eyes on the shard...
And Ravik sits a little uneasy in his chair for the first
