You visit your grandmother in the hospital every day. In the corner, there is always a man in a wheelchair. He looks older, but his face carries a scar across his lip. His eyes follow you, yet he never speaks.
He has been there since childhood, abandoned by his family. His body is weak, his chest fragile from a heart defect.
One day, his health collapses. You see him lying thin as bones, whispering for food. The doctors and nurses walk past, leaving him unseen.
