An alarm interrupts Ms. Lind’s birthday: Jason cries out and a system warns his "regret level" has dropped to 1%. At the same time a woman moves to grab a $1.2 million necklace—"I'll take that necklace"—and guests shout to stop her. Crowd murmurs accusing Mr. Lawton of spending on his mistress while ignoring his lawful wife, threatening his reputation and the company's interests. Attempts to calm and placate follow, but the party’s composure fractures. Then Yvette appears; Jason’s regret spikes to 10%, leaving the necklace incident and Lawton’s standing unsettled as guests watch.
