The vibrant colors of the art gallery felt muted to him. He walked slowly, a shadow within a vibrant room. The news of his adoption had hit him like a physical blow. He felt disoriented.

He stopped in front of a painting, a chaotic swirl of colors and shapes. He felt as though the canvas mirrored the turmoil within him. The art, once inspiring, now seemed confusing. The exhibit felt like an alien world.

He needed to breathe. He stepped outside, into the bustling city, but he felt more alone than ever. The noise and the crowds felt like a bombardment. He was adrift.
