The vibrant colors of the art gallery felt like a cruel joke to Clara. She wandered through the exhibits, the beauty of the paintings utterly lost on her. The persistent throbbing in her head and the exhaustion that settled in her bones like concrete were all she could focus on. She was a ghost in a museum, unable to appreciate anything.

She noticed a woman sitting on a bench, her gaze fixed on a particular canvas, her face ashen and drawn. Clara approached her hesitantly.

"It is all so lovely," the woman murmured, "but I can't enjoy anything anymore."

Clara sat beside her. "I know how you feel. I feel like this every day. Everything feels...wrong."

"The pain is awful," the woman agreed. "And nobody understands."
