The crisp autumn air nipped at Elara's cheeks as she strolled through the park, sunlight dappling through the turning leaves. She spotted the wallet near a bench, its worn leather a testament to someone’s journey. Inside, nestled among various cards, was a thick wad of bills. A smile bloomed on her face; it had been a good day. She knew, without needing to check, this was a significant amount of money.

Immediately, she began to imagine the owner’s despair. She felt a surge of warmth, a desire to restore their peace of mind. Clutching the wallet, she headed towards the nearest information booth, her steps quickening, a sense of rightness filling her.

She didn't hesitate when asked what she wanted to do with it. The attendant smiled back, understanding the look of warmth in her eyes. Elara left, the weight of the wallet feeling light in her hands.
