                   "Twins of Fate"**

The story begins in the early 1990s, inside a bustling, chaotic hospital in a small city. The camera focuses on two newborn twins in the maternity ward—Ravin and Danny. Both boys are identical, with bright eyes and soft features. However, amidst the confusion of a hospital emergency, the twins are accidentally switched. A nurse, overwhelmed and panicked, places one of the twins, Ravin, into the wrong bassinet.

Ravin is mistakenly sent home with a struggling single mother who is soon forced to give him up, unable to care for him. He eventually falls into the hands of a criminal family, where his life takes a dark turn.

Meanwhile, Danny, the other twin, is taken in by his wealthy uncle, a man of power and influence. The uncle had long desired a child to raise as his own, and with Danny’s parents unable to care for him, he becomes the center of his uncle's world.

The screen fades to black and then opens ten years later in a dimly lit, rundown neighborhood. Ravin, now 10 years old, is running through the streets, his clothes dirty and torn. He’s being chased by a group of rough-looking older kids. The boy was running with his short legs and panting, but there was not a drop of fear on his face. Suddenly, he stopped at the ally. They corner him, demanding money that he had just stolen from one of the passer-by, while thinking finely caught this mouse.

One of them started shoving him by putting a hand on his shoulder, and others approached from all sides.
When Ravin lifted his head, there was no sign of horror or any fear like a man running for his life; instead, he was showing a very twisted expression like he had caught the prey finally.

The Ravin doesn’t hesitate—he’s learned to be quick and ruthless. He pulls out a knife and glares at the leader of the group. “You really wanna do this?” he snarls, his voice carrying a maturity beyond his years. The leader hesitates, sensing the danger in Ravin’s eyes, before backing down.
"Boss, just do this already; such a weak shit, why wasting time." Torn a baldy said with irritation because they have been running for a long time because of this bastard.

Yeah boss Torn said true, just kill him and complete the task". Said Awson a short fatty.

Quil their boss raised his hand with a gun towards Ravin, a smirk on his face, suddenly Quil felt pain in his right arm when he looked below Ravin had stabbed knife in his arm so brutally that Quil's hand became dismembered. Others had their eyes wide opened because Ravin just not stop there next he move and stuffed the knife directly in his heart completely killing Quill with wide eyes.

Ravin’s foster father, a mid-level gangster named Boris, watches from a distance. He’s been grooming Ravin for the streets, seeing the boy’s potential to be as cold and calculating as necessary to survive in their world. Boris approaches Ravin, placing a hand on his shoulder. “You’ve got a lot of fight in you, kid. Stick with me, and you’ll never have to run again.”

It was not a test of a father to check his son's learning well but a game of life or death. If Ravin shows any weakness even a little bit he was dead before he even knows

Ravin nods, but his eyes reveal a deep sadness—he knows no other life, but he yearns for something more, something he can’t quite define.

Cut to a lavish estate in the countryside, surrounded by gardens and luxury. Danny, also 10 years old, is practicing piano under the watchful eye of his tutor. He has the face of an angel, with bright eyes and a sweet smile that charms everyone around him. His uncle, a man in his late forties, watches proudly from the doorway.

After the lesson, Danny skips out into the garden, where the household staff dot-dotes him, offering him treats and praise. Despite his innocent appearance, there’s a glint of cunning in his eyes. He’s already learned how to manipulate those around him to get what he wants. He’s the apple of his uncle’s eye, and he knows it.

Later, at dinner, Danny overhears his uncle talking about a rival businessman who has been causing trouble. He listens intently, a small smirk playing on his lips. Later that night, Danny sneaks into his uncle’s study and carefully writes an anonymous letter, tipping off the rival’s weaknesses to a shady contact. He leaves it where he knows his uncle will find it.

The next day, the rival’s business suffers a significant setback, and Danny’s uncle is pleased, never suspecting his cute, innocent nephew had a hand in it.

Back in the city, Room, now in his late teens, has become a key player in Boris’s gang. He’s tough, street-smart, and fiercely independent, but there’s a constant undercurrent of something missing in his life—an unanswered question about where he truly belongs. One evening, after a particularly intense confrontation with a rival gang, Room finds himself standing alone on a rooftop, looking out over the city. The skyline is bathed in twilight, and for a moment, a sense of deep loneliness washes over him.

Meanwhile, Danny, also in his late teens, is attending a high-society gala with his uncle. He’s charming and well-mannered, but beneath the surface, he’s always scheming, always one step ahead. As he mingles with the guests, he overhears a conversation about a notorious gang in the city. Danny’s interest is piqued, and for reasons he can’t explain, he feels a strange connection to the name of the gang’s leader—Boris.

The episode ends with a split-screen shot of Room and Danny, now both 19, going about their lives. Room is in a gritty alleyway, finishing up a deal, while Danny is in a sleek office, finalizing a business contract. Both are oblivious to the fact that they are each thinking about the same thing—a nagging feeling of something unfinished, a sense of something more out there in the world.

As the split-screen fades, the final shot is of a busy city street. The camera zooms in on two figures walking in opposite directions, unknowingly moving towards the same intersection. The screen cuts to black just as they’re about to cross paths, leaving their inevitable meeting to the imagination.
