Refund due to schedule change is considered an invol refund, so the refund for a partially used ticket is the pro rata value of the remaining unflown coupons remaining.

This may or may not be the case. If OP is able to convince a TK agent that they can confirm the outbound but are still working to find an appropriate reroute for the return, then OP may be able to stall changing the segment status from TK to HK until the outbound has been flown.
