Description: In 1967, Lakshmi returns home to find her niece, Nithya, playing with a thread while detached from reality, surrounded by her family’s lifeless bodies. Nithya’s disturbed mental state and reaction suggest she might be the killer. The story then jumps to 1972, where a psychiatrist, Dr. Kannan Nair, visits a remote mental asylum. There, he meets the caretaker Renuka, the owner and chief doctor Dr. Benjamin, and five patients. However, Dr. Nair discovers a sixth patient, Nithya, kept chained in a hidden cell.
Dr. Nair challenges Dr. Benjamin’s methods, calling them outdated and unethical. Dr. Benjamin defends his actions, claiming Nithya is his daughter and too dangerous to be left free. Ignoring warnings, Dr. Nair enters Nithya’s cell, where she appears menacing and attacks him, leaving him unconscious. He later wakes up in his room, documenting his findings and deciding to investigate further.
