Before Sanjay could even process what was happening, Guru vanished from his sight — as if he’d disappeared into thin air. In the next moment, the faint sound of a door shutting echoed through the room. Then... silence. The only thing Sanjay could hear now was the pounding of his own heartbeat.

A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. His breathing quickened as he sensed Guru’s presence — close, right behind him. He tried to move, straining against the ropes binding his hands and feet, but they wouldn’t budge. Out of instinct, he shifted his eyes toward the corner... and there, he caught a glimpse — Guru’s shadow moving behind him.
