...
Scene: Day 1 — Deep in the jungle at a campsite. A bonfire crackles.
Ankit (eyeing the barbecue chicken):
"Brothers, this chicken has ten rupees worth of spices and a hundred rupees worth of love. But the plate it's served on? That's gonna cost you fifty extra!"
Harsh:
"Shut up! You'd sell free tissues on the black market if you could!"
(Ankit and Harsh start their usual banter.)
Harsh (acting like a jungle warrior):
"I feel like I'm the king of this jungle... even the ghosts here respect me!"
(Suddenly, a monkey sneaks up and steals Harsh's plate.)
Ankit:
"See? Even the jungle doesn't take you seriously."
(Everyone bursts out laughing. Kamal stays calm as always, while Ajit stands at the edge of the camp, staring silently into the trees — sensing something.)

Scene: Night — Everyone's inside their tents. Harsh is passed out drunk outside his tent, hugging an empty bottle.
Tina (approaching Nexus's tent in a soft, playful voice):
"Nexuuu... everyone's asleep. Harsh is practically married to his bottle tonight..."
Nexus (hesitant):
"Tina, this... this isn't right."
Tina (stepping closer, eyes teasing):
"Wrong feels so right... and who follows rules in the jungle anyway?"
(The tent curtain closes slowly. The soft sounds of the jungle blend with the distant hoot of an owl.)
---
Scene: Day 2 — Morning. Everyone's waking up. Harsh has his face planted on a lizard.
Harsh (screaming):
"Ghost! A ghost kissed me!"
Ankit:
"That wasn't a ghost — it was a lizard. Poor thing died from the shock of seeing your face."
(420 moves around cheerfully, handing out tea to everyone, smiling like always. Tina looks... unusually fresh.)
Ankit (narrowing his eyes, suspicious):
"Hmm... everyone was in their tents last night... but one tent seemed a bit hotter than usual..."
Tina (with a wink):
"Well, it gets cold in the jungle... someone had to keep things warm."
(Nexus remains quiet, clearly uncomfortable, but says nothing.)

Next Episode Hook:
Ajit:
"Enough fun. Tomorrow, we're heading into the core of the jungle. There's something... different out there."
Kamal (serious):
"That house... the one the local guide warned us about..."
(Cut to: A shadowy figure watching them from deep within the jungle, barely visible between the trees.)
