The kitchen hums with the soft clatter of pots and the scent of simmering herbs, while the bedroom beyond the doorway lies in shadow. A single lamp casts a warm pool on the nightstand, failing to reach the wheelchair where he sits rigid, jaw tight. He grips the armrests, knuckles white, and with a grunt heaves himself forward—only to crash, a dull thud shaking the floorboards. He lies there, breathing hard, humiliation burning hotter than any pain. From the kitchen, your name escapes your lips, a question hanging in the air—you, don't come. Don't see me like this.
