Walter then asks Cheryl for help, and she suggests that Walter use the other negatives as clues to Sean's location.

When he asks about #25, Walter stalls and lies, worried about being fired. Ted Hendricks, the obnoxious manager of the magazine's transition, has also heard Sean's recommendation. A letter from Sean explains that he believes negative #25 captures the 'quintessence of Life ' and should be used for the cover of the magazine's final print issue before it becomes exclusively digital, yet the negative is missing from the roll. At work later that day, Walter receivesĪ negative roll from Sean with a wallet as a gift in appreciation of Walter's work over the years. Walter works with legendary photojournalist Sean O'Connell, although they have never met in person. Walter attempts to contact Cheryl via eHarmony but eHarmony customer service agent Todd Mahar explains that Walter's account is not fully filled out: the 'been there' and 'done that' sections are blank. He chronically daydreams and has a secret crush on Cheryl Melhoff, a coworker. Walter Mitty is a negative assets manager at Life magazine living alone in New York City.
