Episode 01 • Prologue

Somewhere between Palakkad’s quiet streets and late-night physics problems, a kid started asking: “What if the universe is just one big experiment?” That kid became Ajmal.

Fast-forward a few arcs: physics books stacked higher than sleep, mentoring friends, and dreaming of classrooms that felt more like labs in an anime opening than exam halls.
