First step

Vikram's head kept wondering about the cause. What was the cause? Why did I turn? His thoughts did not help. He looked at the clock. It read 5:00 pm. It was the time that Rajit said he'll come. Vikram looked back at his old phone and pressed on the power. It flashed showing zero battery. I can escape for now saying charge. But for how long?

Vikram looked at his old phone. Rajit was right. He had a map of what he did in his life. He looked at it, deeply. Part of him told that it won't work at all. That the data on his device might not tell him anything. However, Rajit's confidence gave him a little confidence. Maybe there is something in this phone that can genuinely help me with what I need to do.

Vikram sat back in his chair, wondering what he may find. The memory of Harish asking him to be part of his cause and his acceptance felt too emotional at that moment. It felt like the response he wanted to give but he didn't know if it was the response he had to give. He tried to recall what Harish was actually doing but his memory failed.
