At a celebration for the Cranes' 3rd anniversary and their contract with Bell Group, Mr. Lloyd delivers lavish Ochre gifts worth millions, impressing the guests but sparking resentment from Mrs. Crane, who disparages the absent son-in-law. Despite the tension, Mr. Lloyd emphasizes his old friendship with Sara and explains the careful selection of gifts for the family. The atmosphere shifts when the son-in-law, Mr. Runner, is mocked for arriving empty-handed, only to reveal he brought Nyx gifts—priceless treasures from the Treasury—unexpectedly elevating the stakes and leaving the room in stunned anticipation.
