Okay, so when I say “wheelchair,” I’m talking about a mobility device. It’s so that people whose legs don’t work the way most people’s do can get around more easily and independently. The chair might be wood or metal with fabric and cushions, and they usually have four wheels, the two front ones are smaller, and the back ones are larger and are how the user steers and accelerates.

That was why I mentioned all this being relevant to a place fighting a big war and injured soldiers, because they might wind up losing their legs, or there might be people working for Riftwatch who have a medical condition that means their legs don’t work. Being able to get around more easily is good for day to day running of a place, but if there’s an emergency or the elevator is broken, having ramps would mean they aren’t stranded, and aren’t struck relying on other people for help.

Ramps alongside staircases, providing alternatives to ladders, that’s more wheelchair focused, but ramps can be useful for other purposes as well, if you’re strategic about it.

Does that… does that make me talking about it make more sense?
