Ruhan's Hostel Room...
(A grave voice echoes in a dream) "You must find that conch, Rudra… and you must blow it. You must save people from Raktim's hypnotic control. Awaken your powers, use your siddhis. Go, Rudra… save them all."
Ruhan (in the dream): "But Baba, how will I do all this? How will I save people from Raktim's control? I'm just a student, Baba."
Voice: "You don't know your own siddhis, Rudra, but I have faith in you. Go… save everyone. End Raktim. Only you can end Raktim with that mystical skull. Go, Ruhan… Go!"
(Suddenly, someone slits Baba's throat with a sword.)
Ruhan (screaming): "No! Wait… Babaaaaa!!"
His roommate, nirav shaking him: "Hey, Ruhan! What happened, bro? Which Baba? That dream again?"
Ruhan (panicked, breathing heavily): "Yes... he... he slit Baba's throat. nirav... they're dead… I couldn't save them…"
Nirav: "Bro, it was all a dream. No Baba died. Look, I'm here. Everything's fine. Come on, have some water."
Ruhan (wiping tears): "But... it all felt so real..."
Nirav: "I don't know what's wrong with you lately. Come on, get up. Or we'll be late for the first period. It's Prof. Sharma's lecture, if we're late we're done for."
Ruhan: "Yeah, okay."
(Ruhan gets up, goes to shower, then gets ready and leaves for the mess with n̤i̤r̤a̤v̤)
