Tara has spent twenty years in the shadow of Rhea’s blinding sun. A pediatric resident at Lok Nayak Hospital, Tara is the "sponge"—the one who absorbs the grief of the wards and the silence of the night shift while Rhea claims the spotlight. To the world, she is the loyal best friend; to herself, she is a ghost disappearing into the machinery of an unfeeling institution.
When the pressure of the upcoming INI CET exam becomes unbearable, Tara finds a secret sanctuary. It isn't a place, but a "digital confessional" hidden in the metadata of shared study decks. Here, she and Kabir trade the truths they cannot speak in the light. As the lines between loyalty and betrayal blur, Tara must decide: will she continue her martyrdom, or will she finally claim her own voice and watch the "Power Couple" myth burn?
