[Setting: A bustling airport terminal. Announcements echo. People rush past each other. The camera focuses on a young man in his early twenties — Dev — standing alone with a backpack slung over one shoulder.]
Dev (inner monologue): Three years. That's how long it's been.
[Dev scans the crowd. His eyes pause, and a faint smile appears.]
Dev (softly): There you are.
[Camera shifts to show Aryan — tall, glasses, hoodie, dragging a suitcase with stickers all over it. He looks around and spots Dev.]
Aryan (grinning): Oye, Dev! You actually came early for once!
[They walk toward each other and hug — firm and warm, like they never drifted apart.]
Dev (laughing): Had to make sure you didn't get lost again. Remember Delhi station?
Aryan: Hey! That wasn't my fault. Your directions sucked.
[They both laugh.]
Dev (narration): Some people walk back into your life like they never left. With Aryan, it was always that simple.
Aryan: So... where's our third idiot?
Dev (grinning): Landing in ten. You ready for the full trio reunion?
Aryan: Born ready. Let's go bring him home.
[Setting: A crowded train station. A train pulls in. Dev and Aryan wait near the platform.]
Dev: He should be here by now.
Aryan: He'll show up. Tejas is never early.
[The train screeches to a halt. Passengers pour out.]
[Moments later, Tejas appears, duffel bag over his shoulder, tired but smiling.]
Tejas: Did I miss anything?
Dev: You're late as usual.
Aryan: You didn't miss much — just Dev's clock-watching.
[They laugh and group hug.]
Tejas: Glad to see you guys. It's been too long.
Dev (narration): The trio. We'd been apart for years. But some things never change.
[They head out, rent a car, and drive toward a hotel on the outskirts of the city.]
