"He was here," Tanya said. "He put me here. He didn't hurt me. He put me here and he — pointed at this." She gestured at the writing. "And then he left."
"You saw him?" Priya said.
"For a second. Coming through the tight section. He was behind me and then he was beside me and then I was — I don't know how. I was here."
"What did he look like?" Kabir said.
Tanya thought about it. "Old. Not as old as I expected. Maybe sixty? Sixty-five? He's very lean, very — he moves like he's part of the rock. You don't hear him until he's already at your shoulder." She paused. "He had a katar. The curved blade. He didn't use it. He had it and he didn't use it and he showed me this wall and he left."
They stood in the bowl and read the writing on the wall and the silence had a different quality from the silence of the ravines — it was the silence of people who have just been asked a question they cannot immediately answer.
"He could have hurt any of us," Priya said. "Vikram, yes — and even Vikram he left alive. He could have—"
"He's not trying to kill us," Aryan said. "He never was."
"Then what is he trying to do?"
Aryan looked at the camera on his chest. Then at the writing on the wall. Tum unhe content kehte ho.
"He's making us understand something," he said. "The way the dacoits would have understood it. From inside."
