INT. TRAUMA ICU – WARD 7 – 7th NIGHT (exactly one week later)
Rain still pounding the windows...
Clock shows 02:14 AM.
The room is quieter now.
Bloodstains are gone...
Bandages clean white.
Only the rhythm of the ventilator and the slow beep… beep… beep…
DR. MEENAKSHI (exhausted, dark circles) stands at the foot of the bed.
DR. MEENAKSHI : 168 hours… 7 full days...Wounds full-ah heal aagiduchu..Scars kooda light pink dhaan irukku... Aana kannu open pannala.

NURSE @MoonFlare (softly, almost scared)
NURSE @MoonFlare : Night duty-la mattum monitor-la heart rate sudden-ah 180 ku pogum…

Daily same time 02:17 AM ku.
Close-up on the monitor: 02:16:58… 02:16:59… 02:17:00
Spike. 180 bpm.
Then back to 38.
Everyone freezes. Same thing again.
DR. RAGHURAM @Dom55 :
Enters silently...He’s been sleeping in the hospital for 7 days.
He walks straight to the bed. Places his palm on the patient’s forehead.
DR. RAGHURAM (turns to team) :
Ivanuku per illa. Address illa.. Aana ivan eppo venaalum ezhundhuruva.
Adhu varaikkum...Yaaru kittaiyum sollidathinga... Idhu en responsibility...
He pulls the chart, writes in bold red pen:
“DO NOT REMOVE LIFE SUPPORT
DO NOT ALLOW VISITORS
ANY CHANGE – CALL ME FIRST
– Dr. Raghuram”
He places the chart back, looks at the patient one last time.
He switches off the main light.
Only the green monitor glow remains on the patient’s calm face.
FADE OUT on the rain.

He switches on a small table lamp.
Soft golden light falls on the patient’s calm face...
Outside, the sky clears. First rainbow after 3 weeks.
FADE OUT on the rainbow and the quiet room.
