Initial Text
You charge after him, scattering the crowd he's hiding in. By the time you get to where he was, he's already put an entire stretch of sidewalk behind him.
You chase him until he's at the verge of collapsing and back him into a corner he's too tired to avoid. He throws his hands in the air.
"Please, don't kill me! Take whatever you want, just let me go!"
Even as he's begging, his eyes flit from side to side, looking for an opening to escape. That damned grin never slips off his face, though.

Choice Text and Results
Hear him out
He nods violently. "Yeah, whatever you want. Take it and you'll never see me again. I'll get on the next Metros and head somewhere, doesn't matter, just don't hurt me."
I want the watch
He blinks a couple times, although whether it's from astonishment or sweat dripping into his eyes is hard to tell. "Watch? You still want the watch? Here, take it."
He hands you an old gold-plated watch, battered almost beyond recognition. "Dunno why it matters so much, but I'm out of here."
As promised, you can see him head into the Metros station near campus.
You found: Anthony's watch
Give me your earnings
He nods. "Yeah, sure, here, I got tons," he pulls out his comm and lets you see the screen.
"I'll keep this," he moves five creds into one account for his Metros fare. "You take the rest," he moves the rest of his account over to you.
"Done and done. I hope I never have to see your face again. No offense, I mean.
He makes his way at a tired hobble to the Metros station near campus and heads down the steps.
You gained 80 credits!
Hand over the pool cue
"You want… my pool cue?" He pauses, letting the moment hang in the air.
"Alright, she's not worth my hide, but take good care of her, alright?" He hands you the well-worn cue and heads towards the Metros station.
You found: hustler's cue
Fine, just go
