Abhira steps in, offering glasses of water to both Ruhi and Armaan.
As night falls, Armaan is restless in his sleep. He awakens to the haunting cries of Rohit calling for help. In his dreamlike state, he witnesses Rohit sinking into the depths of water. Overwhelmed, Armaan experiences sleep paralysis, freezing in fear. Abhira, disturbed by his condition, calls out to him, attempting to bring him back to reality. She explains the phenomenon of sleep paralysis and encourages him to confront and express his grief. Armaan finally breaks free from the nightmare, and Abhira consoles him as he holds back tears.
Unable to sleep, Armaan leaves the room, determined to prepare for Rohit’s legal case. Abhira urges him to embrace the pain, suggesting that he should allow himself to cry today so that he can find solace tomorrow. Armaan acknowledges shedding tears, but Abhira points out that those tears were for the family’s sake. She encourages him to cry for himself and the loss of his brother. Armaan, still holding onto the hope fueled by Dadi’s words, dismisses Abhira’s suggestion. Undeterred, she plays soothing music, attempting to create an atmosphere for Armaan to release his emotions. He questions her choice of music, but Abhira insists that he needs to let out his grief. She offers a blanket, urging him to cry for Rohit and lighten his heart. Armaan, covered by the blanket, finally allows himself to weep, holding onto Abhira’s hand.

Kajal and Manisha attempt to intervene, but Vidya, upset, drops a spoon and accuses Armaan of thinking she loves Rohit more than him. Dadi instructs Manisha and Kajal to escort Vidya away, leaving Armaan in tears. Abhira approaches him, offering comfort.
