Skyrim:
You kill a random npc. Few days later a courier rocks up with your inheritance from the random npc.
New side quest: remove sad family from world
Nier Replicant

I swear I saw a chart where a DM could roll to choose from a list of heartbreaking things to find in a dead NPC"s pockets. Stuff like the letter from OP, a small stuffed animal, a certificate showing that the NPC was a noteworthy donor to the local orphanage, that sort of thing. Baldur's Gate 3 is absolutely riddled with these things.
Reload.
Bad people can have children too. Musk for example.
