The discovery of the wallet had filled him with a curious energy. He felt like a coiled spring, ready to release. His hands trembled slightly as he walked, a sensation he couldn't quite explain. He kept opening it, then closing it, unable to decide the best course of action.

He imagined the possibilities. He imagined the burdens that could be lifted. He imagined how good it would feel to ease his family's struggles. He found his mouth spreading into a wide grin.

He stopped, leaned against a tree, and breathed in the fresh air. The world hummed around him, filled with the vibrant energy of life. He felt… content. More than content.
