Chapter 5 - Episode 5: “Beyond the Wall”

---

Scene: Inside the Mansion

Everyone stands in stunned silence. The world beyond the glass wall still glows with unnatural purple skies, upside-down trees, and drifting shadow figures.

Kamal (slowly approaching the glass):

"This isn't an illusion... it's no mirror. This is a portal."

Nexus (with a serious tone):

"I've always believed ghosts come from another dimension... maybe this is that dimension."

Ankit (trying to mask fear with humor):

"If this is some kind of dimensional Netflix, I'm stopping at the trailer and heading home, bro."

Sakshi (gazing at the glass, mesmerized):

"I don't think this is just about fear. There's something much bigger behind this... something we need to understand."

Harsh (with a nervous laugh):

"Can we at least order pizza first? Then we'll explore dimensions and all."

Scene Build-up:

The group stands in front of the glass wall, tension thick in the air.

Nexus pulls out a compact scanner, analyzing the surface. A circular symbol suddenly flickers on the glass.

Nexus (focused):

"Only one way to find out what's on the other side."

Ajit (cold, emotionless tone):

"Let's give this nightmare a wake-up call."

One by one, they reach out to touch the glowing symbol. As their hands meet the glass, light swirls around their palms. Their bodies begin to dissolve — not painfully, but as if they're melting into soft particles.

A super slow-motion sequence plays — as though they're being pulled through liquid crystal, vanishing into the portal one after the other.

Scene Shift: The Other World

Their eyes open. They look around — disoriented but intact.

They're now inside the alternate world.

Gravity feels lighter. Trees are semi-transparent. The ground reflects everything in reverse, as if mocking reality.

Not far off, they find a decaying, ancient pillar with mysterious markings. Etched into the stone are words glowing faintly:

"Only the ones who dare to believe, shall awaken the truth."

Ajit (in a low voice):

"So… are we about to meet the ghosts… or become them?"

---

Next Episode Hook:

A shadowy creature watches them from a distance — not attacking, just observing.

The group begins to feel something strange... like the world is studying them, reading their thoughts, feeding on their memories.

Sakshi starts acting differently — as if she's been here before. A hidden part of her begins to awaken... and Nexus notices.
