The story is of Manohar, a lonely IT engineer just like any other

Too tired for a lot of things, phone calls, hot meals, feeling anything beyond the cold hum of an air conditioner at 2 AM.

One night, a stranger offers him something warm. He accepts.

He shouldn't have.

What follows is a descent that Manohar keeps explaining away his stress, exhaustion, a bad dream, food poisoning. Rational answers for irrational things.

But some deals don't wait for you to understand them.

They just collect.
