"Well, well, well," Elara murmured, a soft laugh escaping her lips as she spotted the wallet lying near the carousel. The park was bustling with families, the air filled with the shrieks of children and the cheerful music. She bent down, her movements fluid and unhurried.

She’d just been enjoying the circus of life. Now she had to return this wallet. She didn't often find things of value, but that didn't stop her from feeling the joy of the day.

She flipped open the wallet, and then sighed. The amount of money could change things for the owner. A small weight of responsibility settled on her, but it didn't feel heavy. She felt lighthearted as she started towards the nearest information booth, the sounds of laughter washing over her.
