Scene 1 – Back inside the giant bunk room]
The metal doors slam shut. The remaining players, shaky and covered in dust, stumble back into the same room they woke up in. Silence. Trauma. People sit on the bunks, some cry, some stare blankly.
Narration (caption box):
Out of 456 players… only 396 survived the first game.
A loud mechanical voice echoes from the ceiling.
Mechanical Voice:
"Congratulations, players. You have survived. Only 396 remain."Mechanical Voice (continues):
"Now... look up."
Everyone slowly looks to the top of the room. A massive glass vault above them opens — and bundles of cash begin falling inside a giant transparent tank suspended from the ceiling.
Gasps fill the room.
Mechanical Voice:
"This is your reward. The total prize pool — 10 billion U.S. dollars. Whoever wins... takes it all."Cheers. Laughter. People hug. For a moment, the room forgets the bloodshed. But not Ayush.
[Zoom in on Ayush's face — serious, cold.]
Ayush (thinking):
"They think they're lucky. But they don't understand. That money... comes with a death count."
[Scene 2 – Near the bunks]
Ayush approaches a small group of five people chatting quietly. One of them — tall, confident — turns as Ayush approaches.
Ayush:
"Hey... I'm Ayush."
No.331 (grins, extends hand):
"Name's Yuvan. This is our group."
He gestures to each of them:
No.431: Mokshith – witty, eyes always scanning.
No.213: Kunal – quiet, but tense.
No.11: Jayanth – big build, protective.
No.190: Charan.K – small, nervous, but sharp.
Yuvan:
"We all had it rough. Same reason we're here. You're welcome to join."
Ayush nods silently, surprised by the offer.
Ayush (thinking):
"They didn't even hesitate. Just... accepted me."
[Scene 3 – Another player walks over: Arnab (No.421)]
He smiles nervously, trying to approach the group.
Arnab:
"Hey Ayush… maybe I could join too?"
Yuvan steps forward.
Yuvan (firmly):
"We already got six. Stay out."
Arnab:
"I'm not looking for trouble—"
Ayush (cold):
"Then leave. You froze in the last game. You'll get us killed."
Arnab hesitates, then walks away, rejected. Ayush watches him silently, but says nothing.
Ayush (thinking):
"I don't care who gets hurt. I'm not dying here."
[Scene 4 – The group sits quietly, forming their own bunk corner]
Mokshith:
"You think it'll be easier from here?"
Jayanth:
"They dropped money like it was confetti. That means they can do anything."
Yuvan:
"We play smart. We don't get emotional. That's how we win."
Ayush (quietly):
"No... that's how we survive."
Narration (closing box):
The bonds are forming... but in a game where life is the price of failure, even friends can become enemies.
