The story revolves around Tanishk, who feels increasingly isolated after the death of Masru Uncle, despite being surrounded by the bustling city of New York and running a successful salon. He often visits a memorial near the World Trade Center to honor Masru Uncle, reflecting his deep sense of loss. Discontented with his solitude and lack of purpose, Tanishk considers returning to Japan, but he struggles with the uncertainty of what awaits him there. One evening, he shares his intention to leave the U.S. with the Sheikh, who initially remains silent but later suggests that Tanishk might consider going to Pakistan instead. This surprises Tanishk, who questions the rationale behind the suggestion, given that he feels detached from his homeland in Japan. The Sheikh encourages Tanishk to explore new opportunities in Pakistan, hinting at plans to start something there, eventually leading to a discussion about Kashmir as a potential destination.
