An otter wearing a waistcoat and pince-nez turns to face the sunrise while drinking orange juice.

He asks you if you believe in an afterlife. You describe a dream you once had involving a deceased family member.

As you talk, tears well up behind the otter's glasses. When you finish, he thanks you, embracing you warmly before walking away.

It is several minutes following the otter's departure that you realise your wallet is missing.
