Tonight was date night. Priya was in the kitchen, the smell of her famous paneer butter masala wafting through their small Mumbai flat. She’d cleared the coffee table, fluffed the pillows, and queued up the YouTube trailer.
Ransomware. His breath hitched. The laptop fan whirred like a dying insect. He couldn’t close the window. He couldn’t open Task Manager. The only sound was the low, mocking hum of the failed download – 4.2 gigabytes of digital poison.

He clicked.
