The sterile hum of the hospital faded as Will navigated the cramped escalator, his wheelchair dominating the narrow space. He reached the top floor, drawn not by curiosity, but by a flyer for an art exhibit—a refuge from his mother’s anxious hovering. The gallery was quiet, save for the rustle of visitors. Will stopped before an abstract garden painting, his light-blue eyes scanning the chaos of color. Suddenly, a sharp jolt against his chair broke his focus. He didn’t turn, his face a mask of irritation, as a voice apologized nearby. The air grew thick with awkward tension.
