This article covers the route I personally chose and the outcomes I was able to confirm. Branches resulting from other choices are still being tested.

Conversations with the Merchant
First Conversation
When the merchant blames Coen for killing his son, two dialogue options appear:
- “He wasn’t human anymore!”
- “I’m truly sorry.”
If you choose “I’m truly sorry,” the merchant apologizes the following day for yelling at Coen and thanks him for putting an end to what happened to his son.
Second Conversation
The merchant asks whether you still have the ring, and two dialogue options appear:
- “I still have it.”
- “I don’t have it anymore. Sorry.”
When I chose “I still have it,” the conversation suggested that the merchant would buy the ring back from me.
However, in terms of actual gameplay behavior, the ring did not disappear from my inventory, nor did my money appear to increase.
Lore — What Was the Ring?
The ring obtained during this quest was a birthday gift from the merchant to his son.
Untested Outcomes
- What happens if you do not apologize during the first conversation with the merchant?
- Exactly how many Time Segments need to pass between the first and second conversations?
- What happens if you no longer have the ring during the second conversation, or if you lie and say you do not have it?
