Silence.
No light.
No sound.
No time.
Aarav thought—
Everything was over.
His sacrifice…
His existence…
Every universe…
Gone.
And yet—
👉 He could still feel.
Slowly…
He opened his eyes.
It wasn't darkness.
👉 It was a vast, endless white space.
Like a place between realities.
"Am I… alive?" Aarav whispered.
Then—
A voice echoed.
💀 "Alive… or incomplete?" 💀
Aarav turned.
👉 A shadow stood before him.
Not fully human.
Not fully darkness.
"Who are you?" Aarav asked.
The shadow stepped closer.
😈 "I am what remains… between every universe…"
😈 "Balance."
⚡⚡⚡
Aarav's mind spun.
"Balance…?"
The shadow smiled.
💀 "You destroyed everything…"
💀 "But after destruction… something always remains…"
Aarav clenched his fists.
"I was trying to fix everything!"
The shadow laughed.
😈 "And you did…"
Aarav froze.
"What do you mean?"
The shadow raised its hand.
👉 Images formed around him—
👉 Earth… stable again
👉 Mars… peaceful
👉 Universes… resetting
Everything—
👉 Fixed.
Tears filled Aarav's eyes.
"Meera…?"
The shadow fell silent.
Then—
Softly—
💀 "There was a condition…"
⚡⚡⚡
Aarav's heart dropped.
"What condition…?"
The shadow stepped closer.
😈 "For balance… something had to remain."
Aarav felt it.
Something was wrong.
"What… remains?"
The shadow smiled—
💀 "Pain." 💀
⚡⚡⚡
Suddenly—
👉 The white space cracked apart.
Reality shattered.
And then—
👉 He saw her.
Meera.
But—
👉 Not the Meera he knew.
Her eyes were completely black.
Half her face burned.
And around her—
👉 Countless shadows circled like restless souls.
"Aarav…" she whispered.
His heart broke.
"Meera…?"
She smiled.
😈 "You saved me…"
Hope flickered in Aarav's eyes.
"Really…?"
She laughed softly—
💀 "Yes… but not completely." 💀
⚡⚡⚡
Behind her—
👉 Thousands of versions of Meera appeared 😨
Burned.
Broken.
Dead.
Screaming.
All at once—
They spoke—
💀 "We are still here…" 💀
Aarav screamed—
"NO!!"
The shadow's voice echoed—
😈 "You saved the universes…"
😈 "But not their suffering…"
⚡⚡⚡
Aarav's mind shattered.
"Then what did I do?!"
The shadow roared—
💀 "You trapped them all…"
💀 "In one final universe."
⚡⚡⚡
Aarav looked around—
👉 This wasn't a normal place.
👉 This was a prison universe 😨
Where—
👉 Every version of Meera's pain existed.
And now—
👉 They were all moving toward him.
"You created us…"
"You broke us…"
"Now you will feel us…"
💀💀💀
Aarav ran.
But everywhere—
👉 Meera.
One stood before him—
Her throat cut open—
"Remember this…?"
Another—
Burning alive—
"You did this…"
Another—
Covered in blood—
"We never escaped…"
⚡⚡⚡
Aarav screamed—
"STOP!!"
He fell to his knees.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…"
But—
👉 Sorry meant nothing now.
The original Meera walked toward him.
💔 "You wanted to fix everything…"
💔 "But some things… can't be fixed…"
Aarav looked up, broken—
"What happens now…?"
Silence.
Then—
👉 Meera's face turned completely dark.
😈 "Now… you stay here…"
Aarav's heart stopped.
"Forever…?"
She nodded slowly.
💀 "With every pain…"
💀 "Every death…"
💀 "Every version…"
⚡⚡⚡
Suddenly—
👉 All the Meeras rushed at him 😨
Blood.
Screams.
Darkness.
Aarav's voice echoed—
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!"
⚡⚡⚡
And then—
👉 Silence.
🌍 Earth…
A normal day.
People living their lives.
A girl sat in a café—
👉 Meera.
Alive.
Happy.
Smiling.
As if nothing ever happened.
She lifted her coffee.
But for a moment—
👉 Her eyes turned completely black 😨
And she whispered—
💀 "Balance…" 💀
🌌 Somewhere else…
👉 A dark, endless universe
Where Aarav's screams still echoed…
Forever.
💀💀💀
