You know something, you stole the words right out of my mouth.
More than the romance, well ... Arnav reminds me a little of Hannibal. The same dark glamour, the air of danger.
If you all remember, it was indeed Hannibal who caused his fellow inmate Miggs to commit suicide by swallowing his own tongue, because he flicked his sperm on Starling's cheek, similar to Arnav who guided Payal to commit suicide in the last update, only as far as I saw, Payal didn't do anything to Khushi which should garner Arnav to attention ... .
Which makes Arnav a man without a chink in his armour, and thus - more dangerous.
Similar to Hannibal, the only weakness I can see in Arnav is his need to be superior to the rest. If we go back to chapter two, when Khushi asks Arnav "I don't see a board" he makes a face as if he is expecting the statement and says he has a mind.
Now I have a theory, and it is only a theory. Arnav was said to be an antisocial.
What if it was not because he was genuinely antisocial, but because he believed his wit and intellect was superior to the rest, and thus refused to bow down to his father.
So are we looking at a case of anti-socialism or are we looking at a case of narcissism, only Arnav is clever to hide it?

@ bold - Arnav is narcissistic and that ensures his armour has chinks, he is seeking someone to match his intelligence and at the same time he is playing with the inmates like he plays chess. One is only as good as his opponent and this case, Arnav has a lot to do with Khushi to play her and she is no push over like Payal. Both are intelligent with similar backgrounds and watching then spar would be interesting

Sorry had to reread it ... am quite foxed about the whole Khushi thing ...

Khushi is a mystery ... am quite surprised at her qualifications ...

is she a plant to get to certain people in the facility ???
that's why in the first chapter itself Arnav was very curious about her ...

and why is she scared of Arnav and Aakash ???
her interest in Dr.Jha too is worth thinking about ...

am just a mixed up ... confused ...
will wait to read more ...

Please continue the way you are dear ... we love hearing from you daily if possible ...
length is not important ... its the content that is important ... you know that ...

Let me clarify this -

Khushi isn't a plant or working undercover.

Everything that is written about her is factual and she isn't any sort of spy :=)

I talk of weakness from Khushi's perspective, I talk of the kind of weakness which would benefit Khushi, as an opponent to Arnav. Arnav is a narcissist, yes. But not to forget, Khushi is a narcissist in her own way too. The way she talks to Arjun, considering him inferior to herself, not a friend but a servant who has to be cajoled and coddled in order to serve her with faithfulness and loyalty.
Khushi is relatively new. So far, Khushi has only played up with people who are relatively simple. Here we are talking of Arnav who is a seasoned player at this game. Like a line in one of the chapters before "the asylum changes people more than what the outsiders can imagine" and so is the case with Arnav.
Khushi has so far played in a field where nobody knew the actual depth of her talent, now she is up against the actual and literal king of the field. It will be interesting to see how they play up against each other. As you said, while she is a novice at the game, she also happens to be more intelligent than the rest of them put together. It will indeed be interesting to see the games they play. She has in a way, "just arrived"

I like the length of your updates because it means I get to read a bit everyday or so. I would rather you do that then do longer updates less frequently. I like all the characters so far and the mystery continues...

Ouch! And we thought Arnav is dangerous and manipulative.

My signature has a quote by Bertolt Brecht, a German playwright. So brilliant was he, after being known worldwide for his Marxist plays, during his trial in the States he managed to convince an entire jury that he was no Communist. Khushi reminds me of him.. a mastermind. Brilliant, dangerous.

What is her ulterior motive here?
