Your name is Ben Malkinson. You just graduated college after 5 years in writing, and met a girlfriend named Vanessa who was appreciative of your job becoming a famous story writer, and you planned on getting married to her, but there was one problem. You needed to get engagement rings for both you, and her.
Luckily, you moved into an apartment that was right next to a marketplace, that sold more than just food. While you were there, you noticed a jewelry room, and ask the booth owner for some engagement rings. To your luck, you saw that he had a set of two that suspiciously costed $2.00. Jewelry these days costed much more than that, as you paid them, and saw that they both had different colored gems on them. Emerald, and Ruby. The jewels had odd symbols, so you take the rings after paying for them.
