Let players revisit a choice without doubling its rewards

A scene that can be visited twice hands out its gold twice, or leaves both the old and the new decision active at once. Here is how to store a decision so that choosing again replaces the first one cleanly and choosing the same thing changes nothing.

Why this works

If the result depends only on what is chosen now, visiting a scene five times is the same as visiting it once. Undoing the old pick before applying the new one, and rebuilding totals from the picks, makes duplicates and drift impossible.

When not to use it

Wrong when a choice should truly be final, like a vow or a betrayal; changing it would cheapen it. Mark such options as final, and refuse the change with a reason the player can understand.
