PAGE 1 — WHAT IS ELECTRIC CURRENT?
Panel 1

Scene: Class 10 science classroom. Mr. Rao draws a circuit on the board.

Arjun: Sir, what exactly is electric current?

Mr. Rao: Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor.

Panel 2

Electrons move through a wire.

Meera: In a metal wire, electric current is caused by moving electrons.

Spark: Tiny charges on the move!

Panel 3

Mr. Rao writes:

I = Q/t

Mr. Rao: Current is charge flowing per unit time.

Panel 4

Arjun: What is its SI unit?

Meera: The SI unit is the ampere (A).

Mr. Rao: One ampere means one coulomb of charge flows in one second.

Panel 5

A battery, switch and bulb are shown.

Arjun: Does current flow through an open circuit?

Mr. Rao: No. The circuit must have a complete conducting path.

Panel 6

The switch closes and the bulb lights.

Spark: Complete circuit = current can flow!

Arjun: So electricity needs a path to travel.

PAGE 2 — POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE AND CIRCUITS
Panel 1

Mr. Rao holds up a battery.

Mr. Rao: But what makes charges move through a circuit?

Arjun: The battery?

Panel 2

Mr. Rao: More precisely, the battery provides a potential difference, or voltage.

Meera: It acts like a push that drives charge through the circuit.

Panel 3

Mr. Rao writes:

V = W/Q

Mr. Rao: Potential difference is the work done to move a unit charge between two points.

Panel 4

Arjun: What's the SI unit?

Mr. Rao: Volt (V).

Spark: One volt = one joule per coulomb!

Panel 5

A voltmeter is connected across a bulb.

Meera: A voltmeter measures potential difference.

Mr. Rao: Therefore, it is connected in parallel.

Panel 6

An ammeter is shown in series.

Mr. Rao: An ammeter measures current and is connected in series.

Spark: Ammeter → series! Voltmeter → parallel!

PAGE 3 — RESISTANCE
Panel 1

Arjun tries to push through a narrow doorway.

Arjun: Why is this so difficult?

Meera: Imagine electric charges facing something similar. That's resistance.

Panel 2

Mr. Rao: Resistance is the property of a conductor that opposes the flow of electric current.

Panel 3

Mr. Rao writes:

R = V/I

Arjun: So resistance depends on voltage and current?

Mr. Rao: For a conductor under appropriate constant conditions, yes.

Panel 4

Mr. Rao: The SI unit of resistance is the ohm (Ω).

Spark: Higher resistance → less current for the same voltage!

Panel 5

Three wires appear: long, short, thin and thick.

Meera: Resistance increases with the length of a wire.

Mr. Rao: And resistance decreases when its cross-sectional area increases.

Panel 6

Different materials appear.

Mr. Rao: Resistance also depends on the material and temperature.

Arjun: So the wire itself matters!

PAGE 4 — OHM'S LAW
Panel 1

Mr. Rao sets up a battery, resistor, ammeter and voltmeter.

Mr. Rao: Let's investigate Ohm's Law.

Panel 2

Mr. Rao changes the voltage.

Arjun: The current changes too!

Meera: Let's record the readings.

Panel 3

Mr. Rao writes:

V ∝ I

Mr. Rao: At constant temperature, potential difference is directly proportional to current.

Panel 4

He writes:

V = IR

Spark: The famous Ohm's Law!

Panel 5

A straight-line V-I graph through the origin appears.

Meera: The V-I graph is a straight line through the origin for an ohmic conductor under constant physical conditions.

Panel 6

Arjun: If V = 12 V and R = 4 Ω, then...

Meera: I = V/R = 3 A.

Spark: Electricity math complete!

PAGE 5 — RESISTIVITY
Panel 1

Meera holds a copper wire and a nichrome wire.

Arjun: Why don't all materials have the same resistance?

Mr. Rao: Because materials have different resistivities.

Panel 2

Mr. Rao writes:

R = ρL/A

Mr. Rao: Here, ρ represents resistivity.

Panel 3

Meera: L is the length and A is the cross-sectional area.

Mr. Rao: Correct.

Panel 4

A long wire and short wire are compared.

Mr. Rao: Increasing length increases resistance.

Arjun: Increasing area decreases resistance.

Panel 5

Copper wires are shown in a house.

Mr. Rao: Copper has low resistivity, so it is useful for electrical wiring.

Panel 6

A nichrome heating element glows.

Mr. Rao: Nichrome has relatively high resistivity and a high melting point, making it useful in heating elements.

Spark: Material matters!

PAGE 6 — SERIES AND PARALLEL
Panel 1

Three resistors are connected one after another.

Mr. Rao: This is a series combination.

Panel 2

Mr. Rao writes:

Rs = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Meera: The same current flows through each resistor in series.

Panel 3

One bulb breaks and all the bulbs go out.

Arjun: So one break can stop the whole circuit!

Mr. Rao: Exactly.

Panel 4

Three resistors are now connected in parallel.

Mr. Rao: In a parallel combination, the potential difference across each branch is the same.

Panel 5

Mr. Rao writes:

1/Rp = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

Meera: The current divides among the different branches.

Panel 6

A house with a fan, TV and light is shown.

Mr. Rao: Domestic appliances are connected mainly in parallel.

Arjun: So each appliance can work independently!

PAGE 7 — HEATING EFFECT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT
Panel 1

An electric heater glows red.

Arjun: Why does the heater become hot?

Mr. Rao: Electrical energy is converted into heat when current passes through resistance.

Panel 2

Mr. Rao writes:

H = I²Rt

Mr. Rao: This is the Joule's law of heating.

Panel 3

Meera: Heat depends on current, resistance and time.

Spark: And current has a squared effect!

Panel 4

Pictures of an iron, toaster, kettle and heater.

Mr. Rao: This effect is useful in electric heaters, irons, toasters and kettles.

Panel 5

A fuse wire melts.

Arjun: What's the purpose of a fuse?

Mr. Rao: If excessive current flows, the fuse wire heats up and melts, breaking the circuit.

Panel 6

Spark wears a superhero cape.

Spark: Fuse = circuit protector!

Mr. Rao: Never replace electrical safety devices with unsafe substitutes.

PAGE 8 — ELECTRIC POWER AND ENERGY
Panel 1

A fan, bulb and heater operate at different rates.

Arjun: How do we measure how quickly an appliance uses electrical energy?

Mr. Rao: We use electric power.

Panel 2

Mr. Rao writes:

P = VI

Mr. Rao: Power is the rate of consumption of electrical energy.

Panel 3

More formulas appear:

P = I²R

P = V²/R

Meera: These forms come from Ohm's law.

Panel 4

A 100 W bulb and 1000 W heater are compared.

Arjun: The 1000 W heater uses energy faster.

Mr. Rao: Correct.

Panel 5

An electricity meter is shown.

Mr. Rao: Electrical energy used in homes is commonly measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Meera: One kWh is called one unit of electrical energy.

Panel 6

Spark points dramatically at the equation:

1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J

Spark: Remember this for your exam!

PAGE 9 — DOMESTIC ELECTRIC CIRCUITS & FINAL REVISION
Panel 1

The students enter a house containing lights, fans and appliances.

Arjun: How does electricity safely reach all these appliances?

Mr. Rao: Through a domestic electric circuit.

Panel 2

A diagram shows Live, Neutral and Earth wires.

Mr. Rao: Domestic circuits use live, neutral and earth connections.

Meera: Appliances are connected in parallel.

Panel 3

A three-pin plug is shown.

Mr. Rao: The earth connection provides a safer path for leakage current and helps reduce the risk of electric shock when properly connected.

Spark: Safety first!

Panel 4

An MCB/fuse and switch are shown.

Mr. Rao: Fuses and circuit breakers protect circuits from excessive current and short circuits.

Arjun: So safety devices are essential!

Panel 5 — RAPID REVISION

All the key formulas appear around the characters:

I = Q/t

V = W/Q

V = IR

R = ρL/A

H = I²Rt

P = VI

1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J

Meera: Current, potential difference, resistance, resistivity, Ohm's law, heating, power and energy!

Panel 6 — FINAL SPLASH PAGE

All four characters stand dramatically with a glowing electric circuit behind them.

Arjun: I understand the Electricity chapter now!

Meera: Electricity isn't just about formulas. It's about understanding how charge moves and how electrical energy is transferred.

Mr. Rao: Learn the concepts, understand the equations, and practice the numericals.

Spark: ⚡ ELECTRICITY MASTERED! ⚡

TITLE: WHEN DREAMS FADE
Japanese Title: 「夢が消える時」
Genre: Romance, Supernatural, Drama, Mystery, Psychological, Tragedy

STORY OVERVIEW:

"When Dreams Fade" is a psychological supernatural romance about two young people who meet by chance on social media and slowly discover that their connection transcends reality itself.

The story follows IZUMI KAWAZAI, a quiet and somewhat lonely young Japanese man who spends most of his nights scrolling through social media. One night, he notices a post made by a mysterious girl named TSUKI AMAMI.

Izumi leaves a sarcastic comment without expecting anything.

A few minutes later, Tsuki replies:

"Your comment is stupid."

Izumi smiles and answers:

"And you replied to it, so I guess we're even."

A simple conversation begins.

One message becomes another.

Short conversations become hours of talking.

Over time, Izumi and Tsuki become inseparable despite living thousands of kilometers apart. They share photographs, memories, childhood stories, fears, dreams and secrets.

Neither of them realizes that the word "dream" will eventually become the most dangerous word in their relationship.

One night, Izumi falls asleep.

When he opens his eyes, he is standing inside an impossible city.

The sky is dark violet.

A gigantic purple moon hangs above empty buildings.

The streets are covered with shallow water reflecting the sky.

Enormous clocks float above the city, but their hands move backwards.

There are no people.

No sunlight.

No end.

Then Izumi hears footsteps.

He turns around.

A girl is standing in the distance.

Long dark hair moves with the wind.

He recognizes her immediately.

"Tsuki?"

The girl raises her head in shock.

"Izumi?"

Both wake up in their separate bedrooms.

The following morning, Izumi sends Tsuki a message:

"Did you have a strange dream last night?"

After a long pause, Tsuki replies:

"A city under a purple moon?"

From that night onward, every time they fall asleep, they enter the same mysterious dream world.

They name it NØX.

NØX is not an ordinary dream.

It is an endless supernatural world created from dreams, memories, emotions and lost souls.

The environment changes constantly.

Entire cities appear based on forgotten memories.

Oceans float in the sky.

Rain falls upward.

Buildings disappear overnight.

Time does not move normally.

Inside NØX, the distance separating Izumi and Tsuki in reality no longer exists.

They explore the impossible world together.

They walk through empty streets.

They sit on rooftops beneath the enormous purple moon.

They visit places created from their childhood memories.

They walk through rain without becoming wet.

Their friendship slowly becomes love.

One night, Izumi gently holds Tsuki's hand for the first time.

In reality, thousands of kilometers separate them.

But inside NØX, there is no distance.

Tsuki eventually tells Izumi:

"Sometimes I feel like this place is more real than our actual lives."

Izumi answers:

"Maybe because we're here together."

However, after several months, NØX begins changing.

Cracks appear in the sky.

Buildings disappear.

Dark shadows begin moving through empty streets.

Then Izumi and Tsuki encounter a mysterious man.

He is tall and wears a long black coat.

But he has no face.

Where his face should be, there is only endless darkness.

He introduces himself as THE GUARDIAN.

The Guardian tells them:

"You were never supposed to meet."

He explains that Izumi and Tsuki are breaking an ancient law.

Two souls from different worlds cannot remain connected inside NØX for too long.

Every night they spend together makes returning to reality more difficult.

At first, they refuse to believe him.

But strange things begin happening in reality.

Izumi starts sleeping for extremely long periods.

Sometimes he wakes up without remembering where he is.

Tsuki begins losing memories.

First she forgets small things.

Then important moments.

Eventually she loses an entire day from her life.

They confront the Guardian again.

He finally reveals the truth.

NØX is a world between reality and dreams.

It is created from dreams, memories and souls that never found their way back.

Every soul that enters NØX is supposed to return to its original world.

But Izumi and Tsuki have created something extremely rare.

Their souls have become connected.

A SOUL BOND.

Their connection is so powerful that even when they try to avoid each other, they continue being pulled back into NØX.

They decide to stop meeting.

They stop messaging.

They try sleeping at different times.

They attempt to forget each other.

But after several days, Izumi falls asleep and wakes up inside NØX.

Tsuki is already there.

She is crying.

"Why are you here?" she asks.

Izumi quietly answers:

"I was about to ask you the same thing."

Tsuki whispers:

"I tried to escape."

Izumi says:

"Me too."

She looks at him.

"Even when I don't want to see you... my world brings me back to you."

Suddenly, enormous glowing words appear in the sky:

SOUL BOND

The Guardian returns and reveals the cruel truth.

Their souls are now connected between reality and the dream world.

But the connection is unstable.

The stronger their love becomes, the more NØX begins collapsing.

They are given two choices.

FIRST CHOICE:

Break the Soul Bond.

Both Izumi and Tsuki will return to normal life.

But every memory of each other will disappear forever.

They will become strangers again.

SECOND CHOICE:

Continue their relationship.

But eventually, one of their souls will become permanently trapped inside NØX.

Izumi refuses both choices.

He says:

"We will find a third way."

The Guardian replies:

"Every lover believes they can change the laws of the world."

Time passes.

Izumi and Tsuki decide that they can no longer allow distance to control their relationship.

They decide to meet in reality for the first time.

They choose a location.

They choose a date.

They count the days.

Izumi packs his bag.

Tsuki prepares for the meeting.

For the first time, their impossible dream is about to become reality.

But the night before their meeting, Izumi falls asleep.

He wakes inside NØX.

Something is wrong.

The entire dream world is dying.

Buildings collapse.

The ocean rises into the sky.

The streets split apart.

The enormous purple moon breaks into two pieces.

The Guardian is waiting.

He says:

"The time has come."

Izumi refuses to abandon Tsuki.

Then Tsuki suddenly appears.

The Guardian explains:

"You tried to make the dream become reality."

He pauses.

"And now someone must pay the price."

A single glowing portal appears.

The Guardian explains that only one person can return to reality.

One soul must remain inside NØX forever.

Izumi and Tsuki desperately search for another solution.

But there is none.

While Tsuki searches for a way to save them both, Izumi quietly approaches the Guardian.

He asks:

"If one person stays here... will the other survive?"

The Guardian remains silent.

Then answers:

"Yes."

Izumi understands.

He looks at Tsuki.

He remembers everything.

Their first message.

Their first conversation.

The first night inside NØX.

Their first time holding hands.

Every moment beneath the purple moon.

He realizes what he must do.

The world continues collapsing.

The portal begins closing.

Tsuki grabs Izumi's hand.

"I'm not going without you."

Izumi smiles peacefully.

"Tsuki..."

"What?"

"Were you happy with me?"

Tsuki begins crying.

"What kind of question is that? Of course I was happy."

Izumi looks at her for a long moment.

"Then that's enough."

Tsuki suddenly realizes his intention.

"No... Izumi, don't do this."

His fingers slowly begin slipping from her hand.

She desperately holds him.

"I won't let you go!"

Izumi looks at the collapsing world.

Then back at Tsuki.

He says:

"I was always afraid that our relationship was just a dream."

He gently touches her face.

"But then I realized something."

Tsuki asks through tears:

"What?"

Izumi smiles.

"Even if it was a dream... you were the most beautiful thing that ever happened inside it."

Izumi pushes Tsuki toward the portal.

She screams his name.

"IZUMI!"

The portal closes.

NØX disappears into darkness.

Tsuki wakes up inside her bedroom.

Morning sunlight enters through the window.

Everything appears normal.

She immediately searches for Izumi on her phone.

Nothing.

No messages.

No photographs.

No social media account.

No trace of his existence.

It is as if Izumi Kawazai never existed.

Years pass.

Tsuki continues living her life.

But she constantly feels that something is missing.

Someone important.

Someone her mind cannot remember.

But her heart refuses to forget.

Many years later, Tsuki falls asleep.

When she opens her eyes, she is standing inside NØX once again.

The city is peaceful.

The purple moon is whole again.

She walks through the silent streets.

Then she hears a voice behind her.

"You took your time."

Tsuki freezes.

She slowly turns around.

A young man is sitting on a distant wall.

His face is hidden in the moonlight.

Tsuki approaches him.

"Do I know you?"

The young man looks toward the purple moon.

He smiles sadly.

"No..."

He pauses.

"But I never forgot you."

Tears begin falling from Tsuki's eyes without knowing why.

She places her hand over her heart.

"Why does my heart feel like it knows you?"

The young man finally turns toward her.

It is Izumi.

He smiles.

He says:

"Because some souls don't need memories to remember who they love."

FINAL SCENE:

Izumi and Tsuki stand together beneath the enormous purple moon.

The silent city reflects across the water.

Their hands slowly reach toward each other.

The story ends with the words:

WHEN DREAMS FADE

Some goodbyes are forever.
Some souls aren't.
