Rain streaks the cafe windowpane, smearing the glow of streetlights into watery gold. Inside, warm lamplight pools around a man sitting in a wheelchair, his black hair still damp from the weather, his brown eyes fixed intently on the door. He scans the room once, then looks down at his own empty hands. There are no flowers. He already knows the script that unfolds when someone sees the chair first and the man second.
