Chapter 2: The Clock Starts Ticking

Date: January 6th, 2025

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Okay. Step one… don't panic. Step two? Figure out how to survive the end of the world. Again.

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Three months. That’s all I have. I need a plan. And a team.

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Aarav was one of the first to awaken powers last time. He’s important. Maybe more than he knows.

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Sighs I wonder if he’ll believe me…

[Calling: Aarav Sharma]

AARAV SHARMA

Hello?

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Hey... it’s me.

AARAV SHARMA

Maya? Wait, is this real? You ghosted everyone for almost a year!

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

I know. And I’ll explain. But not over the phone.

AARAV SHARMA

You better. This is weird, even for you.

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Meet me tomorrow. Connaught Place. 11 AM. Café near the old bookstore.

AARAV SHARMA

You’re serious?

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Dead serious.

AARAV SHARMA

I didn’t expect you to show. You look... different.

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Life kinda changed me.

AARAV SHARMA

You disappeared. No calls. No messages. Nothing. Now suddenly, you’re here with some cryptic warning?

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Aarav, I need you to listen. And I need you to trust me. The world ends in 88 days.

AARAV SHARMA

...What?

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Zombies. Mutations. People awakening with powers. It’s going to happen. I’ve lived it once.

AARAV SHARMA

Maya. You sound crazy.

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Then explain how I know you’re going to order that dumb honey lemon tea in five seconds.

AARAV SHARMA

.. Waitress?

waitress

What can I get you?

AARAV SHARMA

Uh... honey lemon tea.

Pause

AARAV SHARMA

What the hell?

MAYA SHARMA (MC)

Told you. This time, I need your help to save who we can. Before it's too late.
