Ali - You have to trust me Aarvi, he's the one who killed him. I was there, I saw it with my own eyes.
Aarvi - And you also saw him when you shot him, yet there was nothing. You must've made some mistake Ali.
Ali - There is no mistake, do you think I'd forget something like that? I remember it clear as day, I see it happen all over again every time I close my eyes. Can't you trust me on that?
Aarvi - We've talked about it, Ali. I know how hard it must be for you, and I'm here to help you, but blaming an innocent, won't change the fact.
Aarvi - But he's not innocent. He did it. I'll prove it to you, when Kiara comes back, she was there too.

Ali - Can you stay away from him, he's dangerous.
Aarvi - …
Ali - Don't look at me like that, I'm telling you he's the one who killed him, so just stay away from him until I find your proof okay?
Aarvi - Fine.
12 May 2033
Ali - I'm not letting you go out with him alone.
Aarvi - He's not gonna do anything to me, Ali. I'll be fine. We're going to look for some places to search for some things, if I'm there I can help find them.
Ali - You don't believe all his acts do you? He's just trying to harm you.
Aarvi - He saved my life, Ali. Not once but twice. Before we made this base we were together for weeks, if he wanted to hurt me, he would've.
Ali - Maybe he didn't know about me, but can't you see even now. The way he looks at you, the way he's acting all day to fool you - why're you so gullible about his lies.
Aarvi - Cause I believe he's innocent.
Ali - You've just known him for a month? And you're trusting him over me.
Aarvi - There's no proof, Ali.
Ali - What proof do you need? I'm telling you about it daily. Aren't my words enough? Can't you just trust me once for God sake.
Aarvi - Ali, let's not do this now.

Ali after he hoped Kiara would tell Aarvi everything about Kevin, but she switched sides and refused to admit anything about Kevin.
Aarvi - Ali, please let it go. Why're you so fixated on it anyway? Everyone can make mistakes.
Ali - This is not a mistake. That bitch lied to you and me. The fact that she refused to acknowledge Kevin, when a few days ago she agreed to punish him together, is all the more reason for you to know that he's dangerous. He must've forced her or his uncle would've done it.
Aarvi - I know it's painful, but have you ever thought that maybe, maybe there's a chance that you made a mistake. Maybe his death was just an accident and this is just you trying to deal with him. Maybe you just need someone to blame?
Ali - I'm not some nutcase Aarvi. Believe me Or not, but he's the one who killed shiva, and for that I'll kill him. Fuck it, if you believe it or not.

Aarvi - Did you have to pick a fight with him?
Ali - He's the one who started it.
Aarvi - I sent him to talk to you, so you can sort out your misunderstandings.
Ali - It's not a misunderstanding Aarvi. I know what I saw, if you don't believe me, that's your wish. But don't ever say, that I'm making shit up in his name cause I'm jealous.
Aarvi - I didn't say that.
Ali - But you believe that, don't you?
Aarvi - …
Ali - I've known you since we were five Aarvi. And I've never interfered in your life. I never forced you for anything you didn't like. Anything you said and requested, I've done it for years. I thought you knew me better than that.

During a raid to look for medical supplies for the base, Ali who was on a lookout started a fight with Kevin instead. And when they were fighting amongst themselves, a few infected ones attacked and three of the people got bitten by them.
Ali - I'm sorry.
Aarvi - Sorry. Sorry, Ali. Three people died outside cause you were busy pulling a fight against him, instead of looking out for them..
Ali - It's not like that, he was the one who provoked me.
Aarvi - You tried to kill him, Ali. And now I have a little 10 year old girl who just lost the last of her family. Do you have any idea how hard it must be for her?
Ali - I didn't do anything. It must've been his trap. He knew there'd be zombies inside that building, yet he still led us there. He is trying to frame me. Can't you see that?
Aarvi - Enough is enough Ali. It's been weeks, and there's a limit to how foolish you can be - I can agree to your requests and ideas, but then you pull something like this. You're not allowed to go with him, Ali. Just let it go.
Ali - Let it go? He killed him, and you want me to let it go.
24 may 2023
Ali - If you don't believe me, it's fine. Let's just come with me then. We'll go back. Away from everything, from him.
Aarvi - Go back where, Ali? Can't you see everything's already destroyed.
Ali - Our home, our city. There must've been people who still remained there, who awoke nearby instead of teleporting somewhere far. Don't you want to look for them?
Aarvi - It's impossible to leave the city, Ali. There are too many zombies and infected ones out there. Going out now is just a suicide.
Ali - And with time, the situation will only worsen. That's why we should leave now, when there's still mostly zombies and few infected ones. Over time their numbers will only increase and we'll be trapped here .
Aarvi - it's not just about this city, Ali. It will take weeks, if not months, for us to reach there. The risk is too high. That's why I'm building a base. Once we have enough people, we can form our own group and move out. With more people and more fighters, it'll be safe for everyone to move together.
Ali - That'll never happen, Aarvi. Can't you see that. Just come with me.
Aarvi - I can't leave everyone behind, Ali. There are people who trusted me, I'm sorry.

After Ali came back from the search raid, where Emily was bitten, and everyone else who followed him died.
Aarvi - I'm sorry about what happened with Emily.
Ali -...
Aarvi - You can always stay here Ali.
Ali - …
30 may 2023
After losing everyone who followed him and trusted him with their lives -Ali gave up. He had spent a month trying to convince Aarvi, trying to fight against Kevin, trying to kill him - yet all the things backfired every time and he lost everything. He couldn't stay there anymore and watch Kevin acting like a hero all day, and Aarvi falling for his tricks more and more. It was heartbreaking.
Ali - I'm leaving.
Aarvi - where?
Ali - I'll look for Liv for some time here. And then I'd go back to Mumbai.
Aarvi - Don't be stubborn Ali. You're in no shape to travel anywhere. If the wounds got infected then _
Ali - Maybe I'm imagining those too. And there's no cut there on my skin.
Aarvi - Stop joking Ali. I'm not letting you leave when you're looking like that.
Ali - I'm not joking. I can't stay here and watch him every day and not do anything about it. I'm going insane. I feel like my head's gonna burst apart. It's driving me crazy.
Aarvi - ..
Ali - I won't try to convince you to trust me anymore. Nor would I ask you to come with me. Just take care of yourself.
Aarvi - At Least stay until your wounds are healed for a few days. Kevin found a doctor here, let him help you.

"He's bitten."
"We can't have him here. "
"We can't keep him inside the base."
"Yeah, it's a risk for everyone. He was already insane when he wasn't a zombie. Who knows what he's gonna do once he turns into an infected."
"Let's kick him out."
"But aren't there a horde of those zombies outside now?"
"So, he's already one of them. So what does it matter? I can't sleep, if I know there's someone who can turn into a zombie anytime and attack me."
"Yeah, I vote we kick him out."
Kevin - I know it's hard, Aarvi. But it's the only option. I'm sorry.
Aarvi - …
Ali - …
Note - Ali was not bitten by a zombie here. Kevin had someone make fun of Emily and when Ali picked a fight with him, he bit Ali on the shoulder, instead of throwing punches or kicks. Ali wanted to tell it to Aarvi so she doesn't worry about it, but when he came to do that, he found the meeting where they all agreed to kick him out. Seeing Aarvi silent, instead of trying to help him or even ask for anything, he just gave up and left the camp in middle of the night.

Ali was sitting alone, lost and defeated, when the sound of a little girl broke his thoughts - "Can you help me, uncle?"
