The discovery of the wallet sent a jolt of pure energy through David. He knew the right thing to do. He would turn it in. But before he did… He felt a sudden, insistent need to *experience*.

He hopped on the next bus. He didn’t care where it was going. He leaned out the window, drinking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city. The air smelled of exhaust and something sweet, like freshly baked bread. He saw people laughing, people crying, people living.

He bought a stranger a coffee. He shared a joke with a street performer. He walked through the city, truly *seeing* it for the first time. The world seemed brighter, louder, more alive. Later, he would go to the police. But for now, he felt a powerful sense of connection to everything around him.
