Arjun never slept that night. And somewhere in the servers of the ublive APK, a new user was already being selected. The eye was always hungry. And now, it had his.

But the app's feed now showed his own face , from the inside of his phone's front camera, with a single line of text overlaid:

"You're now a viewer, Arjun. To become a watcher, share one live minute of someone unsuspecting. The eye sees all."

He tapped "Install."

Arjun's blood turned cold. His balcony. Third floor. His hostel wing.
