* KarmicShunning: After getting another man to confess to his own crime, Matt is released but the office places him on the Sex Offenders' Register. This means that he is blocked by everyone in the country, unable to see them, and visible to them just as a silhouette (red instead of grey for typical blocked people, for added MarkOfShame points) ''for the rest of his life''. People are seen reacting with predictable fear and disgust as he walks among them.
