Summary
Glimpses of a soft life flashed through Ram's mind. Laughter spreading through the air. Cool hands pulling him close and drowning him in hugs. Hours of conversation seeped in easy smiles. Walking through grassy fields and lush forests as the day light dimmed and the night set in. And in the centre of it all, accompanying every quirk of his lips and tear from his eyes, stood Bheem.
A life with Bheem.
He could wish. He had wished. It didn’t matter now.They had to part ways, didn’t they? Their roads led to different destination. How could they stay together? Why would they stay together? Bheem had his tribe. Ram had his revolution. And Sita.
The thought of Sita piled another weird feeling on his chest.
Ram would be happy with her. they’d make a great couple and one day they might even grow a family. Bheem should be happy for his friend. Shouldn’t he be?
Then why did it hurt?[Where Ram and Bheem part ways, figure out their hearts, try to find themselves and end up finding a way back to each other]

Summary
Homi got off the car, squinting at the sun's glare and took in the sprawling expanse of the structure, standing tall in all it's glory.
The Indian Institute of Science. The place that had started it all.
There was something wistful about this place. Something melancholic that lingered among all the memories drenched in laughter. The aftertaste of opportunities not taken and chances missed. This was the precipice of all that could have been and all that had been and it suffocated him like a hug that meant well but did not help.
“Homi.”
His familiar name uttered by an even familiar voice and just like that his trance was broken.
Standing beside one of the building’s large windows, bathed in the light that streamed in was Vikram Sarabhai.
(where Homi and Vikram meet again in the place where everything had begun)

Summary
"Why do you look at me like that?" Gaon asked, breaking the silence that had fell in the room.
"What? I can't even look at my boyfriend now?" He taunted, a playful smirk on his lips as he ignored how easily the word boyfriend rolled off his tongue.
Gaon blinked at him, opening and closing his mouth. Finally, he spoke.
"That's not what I meant." His voice was so soft and low and so close to Yohan.
"I'm asking why you look at me like you're etching me into your memory. Like you're carving me into your mind as if a day would come when you won't be able to look at me anymore."

Summary
He was going mad. He was seeing hallucinations caused by his own wishful thinking. Gaon was losing it.
The man in front of him moved, removing the hood and revealing his face.
No. Gaon had already lost it. He had already gone mad. Because there, in the lights cast from his room, stood Yohan.
The Yohan that should be all the way across the world, in Switzerland. Certainly not who should be standing in front of his house, smiling.
His eyes pricked and his throat clamped. This was some sort of trick his mind was playing. It had to be.
(where Yohan comes back to Gaon after a year)

Summary
They had an unspoken agreement by now. They'd come home before 9, they'd have dinner together around half past 10 and they'd go to sleep after some time. Yohan had grown to become fond of this haphazard schedule. It had evolved into something he would look forward to after a long day of harsh realities, a solace of sorts.
And Gaon was late. Late to their schedule.
Certainly, Yohan wasn't angry or disappointed or slightly sad. Why would he be.
He sighed, setting down the pen and giving up on trying to read.
'Why isn't he home yet?'
He closed the book with a thud and set it aside, eyes fighting to take another look at the clock. It hadn't even been 5 minutes.
'Was it even home to Gaon?'
He inhaled, closing his eyes. He didn't care. Or he shouldn't care. Or maybe he should. Or maybe he did.

Summary
He let his eyes cast over Yohan one last time before heading to his bedroom. He imposed over the entrance, a figure that could haunt nightmares. He looked the same as he had on the day they had caught Jukchang, the day he had fought all those goons, the day he had saved Gaon.
He felt his breath hitch. He should probably get to his bedroom now. And as he moved he caught a glimpse of Yohan in a new angle of light and Gaon tamped down the urge to take a better look,
'Wait..' A red smudge peeped from underneath the mask. Or maybe it was purple. 'Is that a bruise.'
Gaon was no stranger to doing things before thinking it through, so when he found himself striding towards the other man, hands reaching to pull down the mask, he did not feel any surprise.

Summary
The glow from the moon enveloped Ga On as he sat there, staring at the teardrops that hit his clenched fists.
And Yo Han watched. Watched, as the man who had stood up to him broke down. Yo Han watched, as the man who had dared to punch him, to challenge him, to get to know him, cried his heart out.
He watched Kim Ga On, the man who had truly seen him more than anyone could, the man who understood him.

Summary
Who was Kang Yo Han ? The Devil Judge that enchanted the nation ? The being who sat tall and mighty in-front of the camera, imposing on thousands of citizens ? Or the man who scribbled on his paper and broke his pen in bouts of emotion ? The boy who woke up crying, haunted by ghosts of his past ?
Was he the person plagued by nightmares or the person plaguing other's nightmares ? Was he both ? Was he neither ?
Did Ga On even know who Yo Han was ?
Questions whirled around and around in his head, blocking everything out, submerging him in uncertainty until all he saw was red hot rage.
