Aarinya slowly regained consciousness, her head heavy and her body weak, as if all her strength had been drained away. For a few seconds, everything around her felt unfamiliar. She blinked repeatedly, trying to focus, and realized she was lying on a bed in a room she had never seen before. Panic rose instantly within her chest. She sat up quickly, her heart pounding loudly, and looked around. The room was closed, silent, and strange. Without wasting a moment, she rushed towards the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. Her hands trembled as she knocked harder, her breathing becoming uneven. Just then, she heard the faint sound of a lock clicking from the outside. The door slowly opened, and Manav walked in.
