Arnab (Arjun Chakrabarty)

🧠 Memory

Memory becomes both tool and barrier as Khilat navigates amnesia and the implanted past, driving the plot and testing his sense of self.

💔 Love vs Memory

Love is tested when memories can be engineered or erased. Joyee's determination to recover a loving history clashes with the possibility that the love could be a reconstruction. The story asks whether a relationship can endure when the memory of it may not be genuine. Ultimately, the characters confront what it means to choose love beyond memory.

🔬 Ethics of Science
