Scene 1: A Restless Heart

The episode begins with Tara back in the palace, days after her second meeting with Ruhaan. The world around her moves on as usual, but Tara feels disconnected from it. Her mind is filled with thoughts of Ruhaan, their shared moments, and the looming prophecy that ties their fates together. She wonders about the future, about her place in the world, and whether she can continue living the life expected of her while knowing there is something so much bigger—and darker—just beyond the forest.
