BANG.
The noise tore through the air.
BANG.
The hinges groaned.
BANG.
Every student froze. Some whispered prayers. Others started backing away.
And then, with a deafening shriek of metal -
The door broke.
A body stumbled out, slamming into the hallway light.
At first, everyone thought it was a person. A student maybe. But its skin was pale gray, lips cracked, eyes bloodshot and twitching as if they couldn't focus. Its movements were jerky, wrong - like every bone in its body resisted the idea of standing.
For a full heartbeat, no one moved.
Then it roared - a guttural, wet sound that didn't belong to anything human.
Panic erupted.
Students screamed, shoved, ran in every direction. The creature lunged forward, knocking someone down, and the sound that followed - the tearing, the gurgling - turned blood cold.
Ishan's world froze.
Everything around him blurred into noise - people running, shouting, crying - but he stood still, staring at the thing crawling on top of the fallen boy, its mouth red, its body twitching with hunger.
He couldn't breathe.
Couldn't move.
His limbs felt cemented to the ground.
And then - a hand grabbed his wrist. Hard.
"Ishan!"
It was Shubman - eyes wide, face pale, but voice steady.
Before Ishan could react, Shubman pulled him, hard, dragging him down the corridor as the infected thing turned its head toward them.
"Run!"

What will happen when the government is forced to shut down all the exits of the University just to protect the outer world?
How will the students survive without any seniors?
No exit.
No guidance.
Just themselves.
In the middle of the chaos, two students - Ishan and Shubman - find each other while trying to stay alive.
And maybe... they come closer than they ever thought they would.
But what happens when someone's innocence becomes other's obsession.
