Panel prompts:
- #1“FADE IN: INT. RATHI HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY (THREE YEARS AGO) Warm light. A television plays a cricket match, muted, in the background - nobody's really watching it. MOTHER (RADHA, 60s) sits on the floor stringing marigolds for a puja. FATHER (DINESH, 60s) naps in an armchair, newspaper folded over his chest. ARJUN (31, clean-shaven, lighter in his own skin than we'll ever see him again) sits at the table doing paperwork from his hospital job. MYRA (8) lies on her stomach on the floor, colorin”
- #2“INT. RATHI HOUSE - PARENTS' ROOM - NIGHT (THREE YEARS AGO, ELEVEN MONTHS LATER) The warmth is gone. The room is dim, the curtains drawn against daylight that no longer feels safe. Two makeshift beds have been pushed together on the floor - cleaner cloth is scarce, so old saris have been boiled and used as sheets. RADHA and DINESH lie side by side, both visibly wasted - grey- white patches of skin visible at the throat and wrists, the telltale mark of the disease the news has started calling "Ksh”
- #3“INT. GREEN SECTOR MEDICAL CENTER - WAITING AREA - LATER Arjun sits on a plastic chair against a wall covered in handwritten notices: "NO VISITORS PAST THIS POINT," "REPORT SYMPTOMS IMMEDIATELY," a faded government poster: "KSHAY IS NATURAL. DO NOT SPREAD PANIC." Someone has scratched out the word "NATURAL" with a coin. An old man, RAMESH (70s), sits beside him, a rosary of prayer beads moving through his fingers. RAMESH First one, or you've been here before. ARJUN (hollow) Third time this family”
- #4“INT. GREEN SECTOR MEDICAL CENTER - ISOLATION WARD - CONTINUOUS A row of curtained beds. The air smells of antiseptic and something under it - something the antiseptic can't quite cover. Myra lies in the third bed, an IV in her arm, the grey patch now covering half her forearm. She's asleep, or something like it - her breathing shallow, uneven. Arjun sits beside her, taking her hand. It's cold. Even through the blanket, even in this warm room, her hand is cold. A DOCTOR (SATISH, 50s, the kind of ”
- #6“FADE IN: INT. GREEN SECTOR MEDICAL CENTER - ISOLATION WARD - NIGHT Same ward as the end of Episode 1. Dim, quiet. MYRA (11) sleeps fitfully, the grey-white Kshay patch now visible past her wrist. ARJUN (34) sits beside her, the old receipt with "DR. LATA BHONSLE" written on it still clutched in one hand. He hasn't slept. His eyes are red-rimmed, fixed on nothing. A SECURITY GUARD pokes his head through the curtain. GUARD Visiting hours ended two hours ago, sir. You need to head to the outer wait”
- #7“EXT. GREEN SECTOR - OUTER WALL CHECKPOINT - DAWN A heavy iron gate set into a long concrete wall topped with razor wire and mounted floodlights. A queue of a dozen people wait to be processed OUT of the sector - traders, scavengers, people with reasons to risk what's outside. Arjun stands in line, wearing his olive field jacket, canvas satchel slung across his chest. He looks like a man trying very hard to look like he does this often. He doesn't. At the front, a SECTOR GUARD scans exit permits ”
- #8“EXT. LAWLESS ZONE - MARKET STREET - DAY A sprawling, chaotic outdoor market built into the shell of a collapsed shopping district - tarps strung between broken storefronts, stalls selling scavenged goods, medicine, fuel, weapons half-hidden under cloth. This is the world the Green Sector's walls exist to keep out - or keep in, depending who you ask. Arjun's eyes are wide, overwhelmed. Noor moves through it like water through a familiar channel, nodding to some vendors, ignored by others. ARJUN T”
