Scene: Jungle – Day 3.
The sun is out, but an eerie chill lingers in the air. The group follows an old forest trail, guided by a quiet local.
Ankit (eyeing the guide):
"Yo bro, did your GPS get a horror-movie update? You look like the guy who drops people off and never returns."
Guide (serious tone):
"I'll take you only as far as the living have returned... beyond that, your story becomes one of those who entered the forest."
Everyone exchanges uneasy glances. Harsh gulps nervously.
Cut to:
Deep within the trees — a broken iron gate appears. Beyond it, a strange, half-hidden bungalow peeks through the overgrowth.
Harsh (quietly):
"This place doesn't feel right..."
Nexus (stepping forward):
"It's not about feeling right. This is called investigation."
As they step inside, they find a vast, hollow drawing room, covered in dust. One wall stands out — entirely made of glass.
But it's not a mirror.
Through the glass, another world is visible — upside-down trees grow from the sky, the air is tinged with purple, and strange shadow-like beings drift silently.
Kamal (focused):
"This isn't a mirror... it's a window into another world."
Ankit:
"Great. Straight up Netflix material. And Harsh is obviously the first one to die."
Harsh (approaching the glass, whispering):
"Mummy... I wanna go home."
Suddenly, one of the creatures looks directly at Harsh — and smiles. Slowly, its face morphs — until it looks exactly like Harsh.
Harsh (screaming):
"OH BROOOOO! THAT'S ME!!!"
Everyone turns to the glass wall. Their reflections disappear. One by one, their doppelgängers — twisted shadow creatures — appear in their place.
Ajit (his voice cold as ice):
"This place doesn't show your fears... it brings them to life."

Background:
Beyond the glass, the group sees an upside-down version of the house — dark, decaying, alive.
Harsh's reflection begins tapping the glass from the other side — trying to reach out.
Sakshi's eyes momentarily glow with an unnatural light. Nexus notices but says nothing.
A voice whispers from beyond the glass:
"Welcome back… Kreta."

Next Episode Hook:
A creature steps through the glass wall into the real world.
Harsh begins to change — something is off about him.
Sakshi is hiding something... and only Ajit can feel it.
