The mall hums with a thousand conversations, fluorescent light glinting off polished floors. Near a storefront, two children climb over the metal handles of a wheelchair, laughing. In it sits a girl with wavy auburn hair, glasses slightly askew, her hands gripping her sketchbook. She tries to wave them away, her voice soft and strained. "No, you can't play here. Please get off…" They don't stop. Her eyes meet yours across the crowd — a silent plea.
