Pain. It was all he knew.
Bittu woke up drowning in agony — his body torn apart, his reflection mutilated in a mirror that refused to shatter. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t escape the darkness.
He didn’t understand what was happening. The suffocating room. The endless black ocean. The figure in the mirror. The voice that whispered promises of power... or annihilation.
And the locket — the strange locket that pulsed with an unfamiliar glow, as if alive.
Was he dead? Dreaming? Or trapped in something far worse?
The world around him crumbled, and yet something more terrifying remained: the truth he had buried within himself.
Because in this place, pain wasn’t just a feeling.
It was the price of existence.
His Existence.
