This could be fiction. Or maybe not. Perhaps it was stolen from a family WhatsApp group on a Deepavali day in 2025. No one knows who exported it, or why. Nothing really happens here. Only messages, forwards, fireworks, emojis, and noise.

Family, fireworks, forwards… and backwards.

Seen by all. Blue Ticks Blind.
