Wide shot of RUP sitting alone on the terrace. The golden hour sun casts long shadows. He looks lost in thought, fidgeting, staring at the horizon. The sound of distant traffic hums below. RUP (V.O.) Life feels so meaningless… College, expectations… everything feels like a cage. CUT TO: A distant alley. Two men are fighting violently. Close-up of their fists, one man getting slammed into the wall. Rup’s eyes widen. A mix of curiosity and fear. RUP (whispering to himself) What the hell is going on down there…? He stands up impulsively and runs toward the alley. --- EXT. DARK ALLEY – EVENING Camera pans as Rup approaches. One man lies motionless, blood pooling beneath him. The other groans, barely conscious, clutching his chest. Rup kneels beside him, his hands trembling. RUP Hey… are you okay? Who are you? I… I can call an ambulance! The injured man struggles to speak, pain etched on his face. INJURED MAN No… I… I won’t survive… but… can you take this… instead? My powers… I’m giving them to you… RUP (stunned, backing away slightly) Powers? What…? I don’t understand… INJURED MAN I don’t know how you’ll use them… But… remember this — never let them fall into the wrong hands. He coughs violently. His body glows faintly as a beam of energy rises from him and flows into Rup. Close-up of Rup’s eyes widening. His hands shake, then crackle with mysterious energy. RUP (V.O.) Something… is happening inside me. I… I feel alive… powerful… different. The injured man exhales one last time. The light fades. Silence fills the alley. Rup stands, trembling but determined, the first hints of his new identity forming. RUP (whispering, resolute) I… I won’t waste this. I’ll make it count. CAMERA PULLS BACK, showing Rup standing alone in the alley, glowing faintly, the city stretching endlessly before him. MUSIC SWELLS. CUT TO BLACK.
