The next day at college, Nandini is waiting for Manik and walking back and forth, looking at her mobile. Suddenly, she collides with a mysterious man (he is wearing a hoodie and his face is covered), who pushes her, causing her to fall to the ground.

Nandini struggles to get up but can’t because she is badly hurt.
The Man: You should keep your eyes and ears open all the time and everywhere! So careless!
Nandini: Excuse me, first you push me, and instead of saying sorry, you’re blaming me!
The Man: We often find fault in others instead of seeing where we have gone wrong.
Nandini: Are you mad or what?
The Man laughs and says,'People often call me mad, a serial killer, and whatnot, but all that doesn’t matter to me as long as I can do what I love! I am my own master! I do what I love! If anyone stops me from doing what I love, I will kill that person!'
Nandini is shocked.
The man puts on his goggles and leaves.
Nandini: Weird people.
Manik and Cabir enter the college and see Nandini lying on the ground. Manik rushes to Nandini.
Manik: Hey, Nandini, are you okay? What happened?
Nandini: Actually… ouch.
Manik notices that her arm is badly hurt.
Manik: Oh God, it’s bleeding!
Manik picks her up, and they go to the secret room.
Manik: Cabir, bring the first aid.
Cabir brings the first aid and hands it to Manik.
Manik: What have you done? Can’t you take care of yourself? I was just a little late, and you hurt yourself! It’s bleeding so much!
(Manik says all this while cleaning her wound with cotton and Dettol.)
Nandini looks at Manik lovingly.
Manik: Just a little more time, and it will be done!
Manik puts a bandage on Nandini’s arm.
Manik looks at Nandini, who is already looking at him. Nandini immediately looks down.
Manik laughs and makes her look up.
His gaze moves to her bandage, and he becomes tense.
Manik: Nandini, how did this happen? How did you get hurt so badly?
Nandini: I don’t know, Manik… I was waiting for you when I suddenly collided with a man. He pushed me so hard that I fell to the ground. My arm was hurting a lot… I don’t know how it started bleeding. I felt something sharp on my arm from his push!
