Readers will not accept a scenario where 53-year-old Bimla displays greater intelligence than 22-year-old Harsh (a member of Gen Z). Furthermore, the idea that Bimla—Harsh’s mother—would lace his dinner with sleeping pills is abhorrent; it is inconceivable that a mother would personally administer sedatives to her own, and only, son. Readers simply will not buy into this. Instead, they would expect Harsh to secretly install internet-connected micro-cameras—with cloud storage—at the main entrance, in the living room, in the kitchen, and in his mother’s bedroom, allowing him to monitor everything without her knowledge.
