At a welcome-back party, Sofia is publicly confronted by a man she once dated. He announces their 'unofficial engagement' to the crowd and tries to pressure her sister into doing the same. Sofia, visibly distressed, refuses, and a system notification declares her strategy failed. It imposes an embarrassing public punishment, forcing her to flee the party. Later, Sofia declares their forced cooperation is over, but the man smugly reminds her of their public display and refuses to let her go so easily, leaving her trapped by the situation he created.
