Adam: "It's just a small token... take it... leave as soon as you can, and don't come back."
But the player didn't leave, selecting another dialogue option: [Yhorm has already been trying very hard.]
Adam suddenly grew agitated. "...You don't understand!"
"He has to... hmph!"
"Just go! This is none of your business."

The player selected: [Of course not. Aren't we friends?]
Yhorm couldn't hold
