The moment Rishabh said that he wanted to leave, his grandmother's face instantly turned pale. The relief she had felt after seeing him regain consciousness vanished completely. For a few moments, she simply sat there staring at him, unable to process what she had just heard. She had spent the entire day praying for him to wake up, crying beside his bed, blaming God for his suffering, and now the very first thing he was saying after opening his eyes was that he wanted to leave. A strange fear gripped her heart. It felt as though something had changed inside him. The boy sitting in front of her looked the same, but there was something different in his eyes. Something she couldn't explain. Taking a deep breath, she finally gathered the courage to ask him.
