INT. GAGAN'S ROOM – MORNING

The scene opens up in a small room in Bangalore, cluttered with books and a laptop on a desk. The morning light comes through the curtains. Gagan. P, a 19-year-old boy born on 2004 February 9th is sitting at his desk, staring at his laptop screen his fingers hover above the keyboard

Gagan: (Whispering to himself) How should this chapter end?

(He leans back in his chair, looking at the wall that is filled with posters of epic novels, and a calendar is pinned beside them, with a date circled in red.)

Gagan's phone gets a notification he picks it up, curious, and reads the email on the screen

Gagan: (Reading out loud) Dear Gagan.P, we are pleased to invite you to The Scriptoria Honors, celebrating our 20th anniversary in Indiana, United States. We recognize your contribution to the world of writing…

Gagan's eyes widen as he continues reading. He puts the phone down, his hands trembling a little

Gagan: (To himself) This can't be real...

He looks at the email again, confirming the invitation, he stands up and begins dancing around the room

Gagan: The Scriptoria Honors… This is no ordinary event. It's the dream stage for every writer—novelists, poets, screenwriters… And I've been invited. But... why me? I'm just starting out...

Gagan stops dancing around, his expression shifting from doubt to determination he returns to his desk, sits down, and starts typing

Gagan: If this is my chance, I can't waste it. I need to finish this chapter...

CUT TO: THE LAPTOP SCREEN

Gagan types rapidly, bringing his story to life. The screen shows a scene where Skyler Arakawa, the protagonist of Thunder Knight, is deep in his thought

Skyler Arakawa: What is my father hiding from me and most important of all what exactly am I? A Godly being, a Demonic being, or an Angelic being

As he types, pouring his own emotions into the scene. Finally, he hits the enter key, finishing the chapter. He leans back, reading over what he's written

He uploads the chapter and closes his laptop. Gagan turns to the calendar again, the circled date now a reminder of the journey ahead

Gagan: Indiana is far... but this is my shot, I have to take it

Father: (Proudly) That's amazing, son! We knew your writing would take you places, but this... this is something special

Mother: (Concerned) We'll help you get everything ready but promise you'll be careful

Gagan: (Nods) I will, Mom I promise

Mother: Alright we'll start with your travel arrangements. You'll need a good suitcase and some formal clothes...
