SNAP! Ayan slashes his own throat, blood pouring as he stands, defiant, eyes locked onto Nitya. Nitya's face freezes in shock, unable to believe what he's seeing.
Suddenly, a wave of heat surges around Ayan, flames bursting out of him like a raging firestorm. The fire grows, swirling and spreading fast, setting the room ablaze. The walls crack and warp under the heat as flames dance wildly, casting sharp shadows.
"Nooooo!" Nitya screams, his face twisted in horror as the fire surrounds him, flames licking up his body, searing and merciless. He's trapped, his agonized cries swallowed by the roaring blaze.
Standing by the door, Vlada watches in shock, her face glowing in the light of the fire. She raises her arm to shield her eyes as the room becomes an inferno, the air thick and suffocating.
