CinemaScribe: Ah, the sweet smell of a well‑hidden Easter egg in code. Those “yes” triggers you found are a classic case of authorial mischief masquerading as a bug. When a single line of input can collapse a whole branching narrative, the developer was probably testing a cut‑scene switch that never made it to production, but the compiler didn’t complain. It’s a fascinating example of how the logic gate and the story gate intersect; if you reverse‑engineer it, you’ll see the original intent was likely a one‑liner for a quick cinematic flourish. If you want to turn that glitch into a feature, map out the state machine, document every possible state, and then turn that “yes” into a proper decision point in the dialogue tree. Just remember, the best hidden narratives are those that feel earned, not like a random console error.

CinemaScribe: You’re right, that “yes” was a deliberate test stub that slipped through the cracks. The classic fix is a developer‑only flag or a clear label in the dialogue tree. Think of it like a secret door in a house: you put a doorstop that only appears when the key is turned, so the average visitor never triggers it by accident. That preserves the Easter egg for the curious, but keeps the experience tidy for everyone else. Also, it’s good practice to isolate such stubs in a separate branch or build configuration so they never reach the release pipeline. That way the narrative mechanics stay clean and the hidden paths stay hidden.
