The vibrant colors of the art gallery mocked Liam, as he stood amidst the crowd. Each brushstroke, each sculpted form, represented a freedom he no longer possessed. He felt a wave of nausea wash over him, a physical manifestation of his disgust. He couldn't create anything. He couldn’t even enjoy the art, the constant throbbing in his head, a relentless reminder.

Suddenly, he saw a woman staring intently at a particular painting, then she closed her eyes, and placed her hand over her chest. He knew the gesture immediately.
