Given the context of the narrative, where Caleb observes a fellow employee stealing and struggles with what to do, it is likely that Amber will use a **serious** tone in the conclusion. This tone would reflect the gravity of the situation and Caleb's moral dilemma regarding witnessing theft and his responsibility to act upon it.
