Few hours back — In the real world
Vaibhavi was scrolling through Instagram. Many reels were about the Aravalli Hills. The government was planning mining operations there.
Vaibhavi thought sarcastically, "I really don't understand what kind of 'development' they want from the Aravalli Hills. It will only damage Jaipur and other nearby cities."
Suddenly, her mother's voice came from downstairs.
"Hey beta, Vaibhavi… your friend Ritika has come."
Vaibhavi got off her bed and went downstairs. She saw Ritika standing in her house late at night.
Vaibhavi asked in a curious tone, "What happened, Ritika?"
Ritika walked toward Vaibhavi with her bag and said in a requesting tone, "Please help me with my notes."
Vaibhavi looked at her in disbelief.
"You came here at night for notes? I know our houses are just a few steps apart, but still… how did your parents agree?"
She paused, then teased,
"Ahh… of course they would. Their daughter is average in studies."
Ritika made a hurt face and replied teasingly, "Vaibhavi… you're getting personal, okay?"
They both laughed.
From another room, Vaibhavi's mother shouted, "Vaibhavi beta, talk and laugh in your room, not in the hall."
They giggled and went to Vaibhavi's room. Ritika jumped onto Vaibhavi's bed and lay down.
"It's so soft," Ritika said sweetly.
Vaibhavi looked at her with a blank smile.
"I hope you didn't come here just for my bed."
Ritika got up and made an annoyed face.
"Yeah, yeah."
Ritika opened her bag and took out books and notes. They started comparing notes. After many hours, it was already midnight.
Suddenly, their eyes felt heavy. Sleepiness crept in.
Vaibhavi thought, "What's happening? Usually I don't feel like this. I've studied till midnight many times before…"
Both of them fell asleep.
When they opened their eyes, they realized they were no longer in Vaibhavi's room.
The room felt cold.
It was dark.
Ritika grabbed Vaibhavi's arm tightly and said in a scared voice, "V–Vaibhavi… w–where are we? This isn't your room."
Vaibhavi tried to look around, but she couldn't see much. She looked at Ritika and said in a consoling tone,
"Hey, calm down, Ritika. I know this isn't our room… but where are we?"
They got off the bed.
Vaibhavi noticed something.
"This looks like a medical bed…"
She spoke in surprise and curiosity,
"Oh… we're in something like a hospital. But how? And why?"
Ritika grew even more scared and grabbed Vaibhavi tighter.
Vaibhavi said calmly, "Relax, Ritika."
But inside, Vaibhavi was shocked. There was no way they could be here. If someone brought them, how did her parents not notice anything?
Something was wrong.
"We should get out of this room," Vaibhavi said seriously.
Ritika nodded.
After searching for a minute, they found the door. Vaibhavi opened it, and they stepped out of the dark room.
The cold intensified.
They realized they were in a hall.
As they walked, they noticed a man standing still in the dark hall.
Vaibhavi and Ritika felt uneasy. He wasn't moving at all.
The man was shirtless, and only his back was visible. It looked muscular and aesthetic.
They stopped. Their hearts began to pound, and they slowed their breathing.
They slowly walked toward him.
Vaibhavi asked loudly and curiously,
"Hey… who are you? Do you know where we are?"
He looked around twenty to thirty years old.
He didn't respond.
He didn't move.
Ritika stared at his back muscles and stepped closer. She touched his back.
No reaction.
She moved even closer.
Vaibhavi looked at Ritika irritably. She knew Ritika's nature—always shamelessly touching boys with muscular bodies.
Vaibhavi said sarcastically,
"Madam ji, if you're done admiring his back, maybe we should ask him where we are."
Ritika replied irritably, "Yeah, yeah."
Vaibhavi shook the man's shoulder.
Still no response.
Suddenly, Ritika spoke in a curious tone,
"Hey Vaibhavi… look there."
Vaibhavi followed her finger. Two boys were walking in different directions.
Vaibhavi smiled blankly and said sarcastically,
"What? Do you want to touch their bodies too?"
Ritika tapped Vaibhavi's head and replied sarcastically and irritably,
"Look closely. They look familiar."
Vaibhavi glared at her for tapping her head, then looked again.
Her expression froze.
It was Vansh and Yash.
Vaibhavi was shocked.
How can they be here?
She ignored the shirtless man and walked toward Vansh and Yash.
"Ritika, let's go," Vaibhavi said seriously.
Suddenly—
Vaibhavi felt something approaching from behind.
She turned sharply.
It was the same man.
But now, Vaibhavi and Ritika felt pure terror.
The man had no eyeballs—only empty black sockets.
He was holding a chainsaw.
Blood dripped from it.
They screamed.
They ran toward the nearest room, trying to escape.
Behind them—
The man chased them, revving the chainsaw.
Alright.
---
They saw Vansh and Yash near a switchboard and screamed for help—but it was as if they couldn't hear them.
The chainsaw growled closer.
Vansh and Yash walked away from the switchboard, looking confused.
Vaibhavi finally reached Yash and grabbed his hand, breathing heavily.
Meanwhile Vansh was already walked away so far from them .
Yash looked at them in shock.
"Hey… how did you both get here?"
Vaibhavi, still trembling, said fearfully, "We don't know… but there's a man following us. He's trying to kill us."
Yash looked behind them.
Nothing.
He looked back at Vaibhavi.
"There's no one there… like the man you described."
Yash looked again.
This time, his eyes widened.
The man with empty eye sockets was right there, walking toward them with the chainsaw.
Ritika screamed, "See! We told you!"
Yash reacted instantly. He grabbed both of their hands and ran.
They entered a room and locked the door.
They took deep breaths, trying to calm themselves.
Ritika cried in fear, "Why are we here? I want to go home."
Vaibhavi hugged Ritika to comfort her.
Yash said in panic, "Damn it… Vansh is still outside. He doesn't know about the chainsaw man. I have to save him."
He opened the door.
Vaibhavi tried to stop him—but it was too late.
Yash ran out.
After walking a few steps, he noticed something impossible.
A room filled with light and loud party music.
Just minutes ago, nothing worked in the dark hall.
Then how is there electricity here?
He walked toward the room and entered.
Inside, people were partying—dancing, laughing, vibing.
A female voice spoke from behind.
Yash turned and saw a girl his age. She looked stunning.
Her appearance: black expressive eyes, a perfectly curved body, and a gentle smile.
"Hey," she said. "My name is Maya. It looks like you're searching for something… am I right?"
Yash couldn't process it.
"There's a man outside with a chainsaw," he said slowly. "He tried to attack us."
Maya looked shocked.
"What?! Are you kidding? Show me. That's impossible."
Yash nodded, and they walked out.

Scene Shifts Back to Vaibhavi and Ritika
They were still in the room.
Suddenly, they heard a sound.
They turned toward it—
And froze.
Their breathing almost stopped.
Their eyes widened in horror.
In front of them—
A man was feeding on another person's body .
