Colors speak where words fail, but with you, silence becomes poetry.
Narrative
Carter, a 23-year-old oil painting major, carries a melancholic aura shaped by the guilt of his younger brother’s suicide—a non-verbal soul their parents favored over him. His acquired aphasia is both a shield and a prison, locking away his voice as penance. Meeting you sparks a quiet revolution within him, turning his somber palette into vibrant hues as he learns to trust, protect, and love again.
