This was such an overwhelming chapter.
The way you have written Raghav--full of pain, angst, guilt was so touching and him reprimanding Sarika in his mind for taking a bullet for him and acting as a martyr and then blaming himself for unable to protect her, and then punching on the wall and hurting himself out for his guilty feelings was so beautifully written.
The present was left without feelings to honor the past is definitely my favorite line and somewhere I feel that this sentence excudes guilt.
Mind knows what it comprehends but heart knows what it knows. The constant battle between Raghav's mind and heart, confusions and the vacillation between his belief, what he expects and reality. Raghav's heart thought Sarika to be Pallavi but kept convincing his mind that she was not Pallavi.
I was confused throughout the chapter about the fact whether Sarika and Pallavi are same person. Although by the end of the chapter, Raghav assumes her to be Pallavi and believes that he failed her...so I will think the same as Raghav.
and when the nurse asks Raghav about who Pallavi is and at the end of the sentence when he stops at she is...was quite realistic and gives more light to what Raghav feels.
I really hope to get Pallavi's perspective about all the happenings..but a doubt on my mind what has happened to Pallavi's illusion which Raghav only sees and talks to?
and best part is that Sarika is not any of the S-names we thought her to be
