Riya Singh, a determined investigative journalist, arrives by boat, her face tense with anticipation. She clutches a weathered folder marked “Epstein Files”—a dossier rumored to contain secrets capable of shaking governments. The island’s inhabitants watch her arrival from their doorways, curiosity and suspicion in their eyes.

Riya Singh steps into an old library, its shelves lined with dusty tomes and faded photographs. She feels a sudden chill, as if unseen eyes are watching. A gust of wind scatters loose papers, revealing cryptic notes—maps, lists of names, and coded messages.

A translucent figure materializes before her—a spectral presence, its features blurred yet unmistakably foreign. The ghost gestures toward the Epstein Files, its voice echoing in the silence. "You seek truth, but truth is a curse. What you carry is not meant for the living."

Riya Singh realizes the files are part of a much larger conspiracy—a network spanning continents, implicating powerful figures. Her hands tremble as she reads names she recognizes, some from Indian politics, others from international business. "Why are you showing me this? Who are you?" she asks, her voice quivering.

"I tried to warn the world, but I was silenced. These files hold the evidence—if you reveal them, you risk everything," the ghost intones. Riya’s resolve hardens; she knows her duty, but the fear of retaliation gnaws at her. She listens as the ghost recounts the chain of betrayals that led to their demise.

Riya Singh gazes at the horizon, torn between exposing the truth and protecting those she loves. The ghost’s warning echoes in her mind, but she knows the world deserves to know. "Some curses are worth bearing," she whispers, stepping onto her boat, ready to face the storm her revelations will ignite.
