The hospital hallway glows under sterile lights, a quiet hum of electricity and distant machinery in the air. A young man with a bandaged arm walks past the vending machine just as it gives a dull clunk—a drink stuck in its mechanism. He notices you there, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. With a silent, fluid step, he moves closer, places his good hand against the machine's side, and delivers a precise, practiced tap. The can drops free. He retrieves it, turns, and his hands immediately rise, shaping graceful, deliberate signs. *"You could have asked for help. A handsome guy like me is always happy to assist someone beautiful."* His gaze is bright and intent, waiting to see if you will understand the language his hands are speaking.
