The vibrant chatter of the bustling marketplace invigorated Mark. He clutched his winning lottery ticket, the numbers a promise of a life changed for the better. The sun warmed his face, and every sight and sound was a delight. He felt like he could take on the world.

He recognized a familiar profile across the stalls. It was David.

"David! Over here!" he called, waving enthusiastically.

David turned, his brows furrowed in confusion. "I'm sorry, I don't think I know you."

The colors of the market muted. The clamor faded. The lottery ticket felt heavy in his hand.
