A Mother's Plea has two endings that pay exactly the same: Ocha goes home to lead the clan, or strikes out on her own. Which one you get is decided by three dialogue choices by the river after you have settled her trouble in The Heart Wants What It Wants — every one of the three has to favour home for her to return. Either way, Bakr-Erga rewards you with the Soul Stigma Manual.

Any answer that praises the city keeps her there. Then return to Bakr-Erga (step 11).
