Sees What Things Are Becoming
Reva senses what a discarded object was always on its way to becoming. Not sentiment, but precise perception inherited through her family's line.
Reva has moved four times in three years, and every new town leaves her certain that nothing thrown away is finished with being useful. What she has never learned is how to finish anything herself.

Reva grew up moving. Four homes in three years - Bhiwandi, Nalasopara, four restless months in Vasai, and now Palghar, following her father's coastal shipping postings. In every house, the shed out back filled up faster than anyone else's ever did.
It was her Chacha who first told her that the family used to keep things too, long before her bottle caps and scrap wire. Clay vessels, shaped for river festivals, on a river he half remembered as the Godavari. He handed her a small, worn clay disc with one instruction: it must never be thrown away.
Her best friend Priya was the first to notice the difference between a want that was going to become something, and one that only wanted to be kept. What came after took Reva all the way to Smritivan, where Vasudev and Arth were already waiting.

Reva receives raw clay and gathered shards, not a finished instrument. She must shape it, fire it, and learn to use it herself.
Plastikasura is not hunger. She is accumulation - every bag set down and never picked back up, every claim made and never finished, settling at the edge of town until it forgets it was ever meant to be anything else. She grows heavier every year, and a little more forgetful of what it felt like to be useful.
Threat: Landfills that never stop growingPlastikasura is not invented from nothing. She is what happens when "I will deal with it later" repeats in the same place for twenty years.
Reva's world is anchored in real material science: how long different materials take to break down, where a town's waste goes after the truck leaves, and what recycling means once you follow it past the bin.
