To obtain all items, follow these dialogue choices precisely:

Talking to Keipo:

"We need to talk. Now."
"Come clean. Chiko told me you want to end your life."
"We wouldn’t be having this conversation if you had the Dreamscourge."
"I’m sorry. I can’t give you the heart."
"I respect your choice. But I can’t be a part of it."
"Listen. I…I know what happened to Umpara."
"And? Why didn’t you tell the truth?"
"That’s why you really trapped the ruins. So no one would find out."
"No. The truth would do more harm than good."

Talking to Chiko:

"Don’t worry. It’s right here with me."
"He wanted to take his own life with it. Chiko stepped in to prevent that."
"Let me hold onto it. I’ll take it far away and keep it safe."
"[Lie] No, that was all."
“Uh…about that. He’s not just sick. It’s the Dreamscourge.”
“He wanted to die before he turned. He was trying to keep you safe.”
“There is one way. We just stopped him from doing it.”
