Marius shows the main character a new painting. While they're discussing the painting, Vincent Kim arrives at the studio with Sheldon Harrison, one of the Pax Group's directors. The MC steps away to give the two some private time to talk; when she returns, the atmosphere is tense, with Sheldon insisting Marius needs to care more for his own reputation and position at Pax rather than Giann's.
After Sheldon leaves, the MC questions Marius about why he cares so much more about others' reputation than his own, but Marius dodges the question. Vincent then updates the two that the police have still been unable to locate Alex Schneider.
