Using a lifetime of workshop skills, Mohan transforms his home into a mechanical slaughterhouse. He loops invisible steel wire at ankle height, connects a frayed electric cable to the kitchen sink, rigs a pressurized canister of industrial solvent behind a door, and sets rat traps smeared with sedatives in the dark hallway. Each trap is a twisted homage to a promise he made Anusha. In flashbacks, the reader learns how the state’s Special Investigation Team deliberately mishandled her complaint and how the ruling Janata Surya Party protected the accused. Mohan’s cold preparation blurs the line between justice and madness.
