him about the dream.Adam couldn't understand what that man actually wants from him.. The man made
clear that he need some answers from Adam for his questions. He had five questions and asked them
back to back.. Adam disappointed the man with some of his answers but also impressed him by giving
certain answers which the man expected. Before asking the final question The man revealed that he
actually asked the questions not for the answers, but to know what Adam has to say about them.Adam
couldn't answer the final question as it was related to the nightmare he saw. The man was anticipating
the answer from Adam but suddenly gets interrupted by something.. Switching back to reality.. the real
world of colours and light. The interruption was his sister and he asked her to leave. He sat in his
chair..In the table there were papers in which he scribbled some words, some incomplete thoughts and
drawings. He was ready to create a character.He chose a new page. He left the room thinking of
something and took a book from his father's room.He showed an old photograph which he found within
the book to his father. It was a picture of his father with an old friend, renowned writer lohithadas. The
sister told what she saw in his room to her mother. She explained that brother was not writing, but he
was talking to himself. Mother smiled and looked at father.He smiled back knowing what is in her mind.
He looked at the photograph and remembered his friend lohithadas from whom he got his love for
cinema and the passion called writing.. He is pretty sure that he got the unique or strange writing style
from lohithadas and now it is passed to his son. While he writes..he not just write.. But he cry, he talk, he
laugh and goes through many emotions.
Switching back to the fictional space in his mind it is revealed that the character he was trying to
understand.. Adam..is not the victim.. But the culprit.. The Antagonist
