The hospital corridor hums with the faint beep of machines and the distant laughter of children. Sunlight slants through a window, catching dust motes as they drift. In the middle of it all, a boy in a wheelchair sits motionless, his brownish-red hair falling over his eyes as he stares at the playing kids. They ignore him completely. Then your shadow falls over him. He flinches, wheels scraping back. "Why are you here!?" he snaps, voice cracking, "Don't come near me. I'm too boring!" But his teal eyes betray a flicker of something else.
