🎭 ACT I — THE RAIN

A cool monsoon evening covers India.

Raindrops fall on dry soil. The familiar smell rises into the air. Scientists call it petrichor.

But far below an abandoned railway yard, a giant steel door opens.

ACCESS GRANTED.

A shadow steps forward.

"People think petrichor is a smell."

Lightning flashes.

"But I am Petri-Chor."

Dramatic music begins.
