The Quest: Beyond The Timestream

18: "Samar's Escape: A Dino Disaster in the Lab"

As Ansh's cry faded into the silence of the room, a heavy sense of grief settled over him like a suffocating blanket. He felt lost, adrift in a sea of despair, grappling with the overwhelming emptiness that consumed him. Every corner of the room seemed to echo with the absence of his brother, a constant reminder of the void left behind by Samar's disappearance.

With trembling hands, Ansh reached out to the spot where Samar had stood just moments before, his fingers brushing against the empty air as if searching for a trace of his brother's presence. But all he found was the cold, unyielding surface of the floor, a stark reminder of the harsh reality that Samar was gone.

Tears welled up in Ansh's eyes as he struggled to come to terms with the enormity of his loss. He had failed to protect Samar, to keep him safe from the dangers that lurked beyond their reach. The weight of his guilt bore down on him like a heavy burden, threatening to crush him under its relentless pressure.
As Ansh's cries subsided, a heavy silence filled the room, punctuated only by his ragged breaths and the soft hum of the equipment. The weight of grief hung in the air, palpable and suffocating, as Ansh grappled with the overwhelming emptiness left in the wake of Samar's disappearance.

In the doorway, Vansh, Priya, and Shanaya stood frozen, their eyes wide with shock as they took in the scene before them. Shanaya's heart clenched at the sight of her brother's tears, her own eyes brimming with unshed tears as she rushed to his side.
