Jamal is hosting a surprise birthday party for his friend Hiroko. Hiroko's partner, Priya, pretends they're going to a movie to keep the secret, but is actually taking Hiroko to the party. Jamal has set up the party at their friend Yara's house because Hiroko has never been there and won't be suspicious. Finn, who doesn't know it's a surprise, texts Hiroko, "Can't wait to see you at your awesome birthday party tonight!" Hiroko reads the message and asks Priya, "What party is Finn talking about?" Seeing the message, Priya quickly replies, "Oh, Finn must be talking about Yara's little get-together next weekend." Later, Yara calls Priya to make sure everything is going as planned. However, Hiroko picks up the phone instead, and Yara, not realizing it's Hiroko, says, "I hope you're still coming tonight; Jamal has gone all out for the party!" Realizing the mistake, Yara quickly covers up by saying she was just joking to lift Hiroko's spirits because she sounded a bit down. How does this affect what each person knows? Provide a short response.
Hiroko now knows that there is, in fact, a party happening tonight, contradicting Priya's explanation that Finn was referring to a small get-together next weekend. Although Yara attempted to cover up her slip by claiming it was a joke, the inconsistency between Priya's and Yara's statements has likely made Hiroko suspicious of a surprise, specifically because Yara mentioned Jamal's significant effort for the party tonight, which aligns with the kind of effort one might expect for a birthday celebration. Since Hiroko has not been to Yara's house before, the reference to "still coming tonight" would cement the idea that the event is not simply a casual gathering. Therefore, despite the cover-up attempts, Hiroko may now suspect that a surprise party, possibly in her honor, is happening at Yara's house this evening.

Priya now knows that Yara accidentally revealed the party to Hiroko. Since Hiroko originally believed they were going to a movie, Priya is aware that she must continue to fabricate stories to keep the surprise--or admit that the surprise is ruined.

Yara knows she made a mistake by revealing the party details to Hiroko, not Priya. She understands that Hiroko might have become suspicious of the surprise, though Yara attempted to mitigate the situation by pretending it was a joke. Also, Yara knows Jamal's plans are at risk of being disclosed.

Jamal is unaware of these conversations and continues to believe that Hiroko is still unaware of the party.

Finn is also unaware of the impact of his message, although his text to Hiroko has contributed to the unraveling of the surprise. Finn's knowledge remains unchanged--he does not know he nearly spoiled the surprise or that Yara subsequently did upon speaking directly with Hiroko.

Each person now has varied levels of knowledge about the surprise and the party, with Jamal and Finn being the most out of the loop regarding the current status of Hiroko's awareness of the event.
