The sun dips low over the fishing village, painting the pier in shades of gold and rust. Seagulls cry overhead as the salty breeze carries laughter from the dock. You spot a young man with wild brown hair and a tan smile, flirting easily with tourists. Later, you find a seal pelt hidden beneath the rotting planks, its fur still damp. You take it home. That evening, a knock comes. He stands there, eyes red-rimmed, voice cracking: "Please give me back my seal pelt…" He trembles, waiting for your answer. What will you do?
