Although Swayam's ability to take anything out of the television seemed to have been a one-time fluke, he was thankful that he had managed to pull out the TV Birdlime. This gadget, as depicted in the Doraemon series, allowed its user to retrieve objects from within the television. By placing the birdlime into the screen, it could grab and bring back whatever the user desired.
At first, Swayam was excited about the possibilities. However, his enthusiasm quickly dimmed when he realized that his hand no longer interacted with the TV screen. The same hand that had pulled the gadget out now met only cold, solid glass. This made him skeptical about whether the TV Birdlime would actually work. Could it function as it did in the show, or had the extraordinary phenomenon been a one-off event?
Being an impulsive individual, Swayam couldn't sit still with these doubts gnawing at him. He knew he had to test the gadget and see for himself if it worked. Picking up the TV Birdlime—which he had earlier placed on the bed—he approached the TV once more.
The screen was still playing a random episode of Doraemon on YouTube. This time, Swayam didn't bother pausing on a specific scene or gadget from the show. He simply let the video play out, driven by a mix of impatience and curiosity. Slowly, he extended the light pink, sticky side of the TV Birdlime toward the screen.
As the gadget neared the screen, something unexpected happened. YouTube, in its untimely fashion, interrupted the episode with an advertisement—a flashy promo for the latest iPhone. Caught up in the moment, Swayam didn't notice the change. His focus was on the TV Birdlime, which, to his renewed excitement, passed seamlessly into the screen.
Without realizing what he was doing, Swayam unconsciously pushed the gadget further into the advertisement. The sticky part of the TV Birdlime latched onto the iPhone displayed on the screen. In a rush of exhilaration, he pulled the gadget back out of the television, and with it came the physical, tangible iPhone from the ad.
Staring at the sleek device now in his hand, Swayam couldn't help but marvel at what he had just accomplished. He expected some sort of abnormal phenomenon to follow—flickering lights, glitching screens, or other disruptions, like the last time. But after a few tense moments of silence, nothing happened. Everything in his room remained eerily normal.
Letting out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding, Swayam's shoulders relaxed. One thing had become abundantly clear: the TV Birdlime worked exactly as it did in the Doraemon show.
