Catch a character who is dead on one path and still talking

When a companion can die in one scene, every later scene that lets them speak is a bug on some path, and you will not meet it unless you play that exact order. This entry walks every combination and gives the path that shows the mistake.

Why this works

Whether someone is dead depends on the road taken, not on the scene alone. Following each road while keeping a list of who has died shows exactly where a dead person would still speak, and prints the path so the writer can fix it.

When not to use it

Wrong to ban the dead from speaking at all, since ghosts, memories, letters and recordings are good stories. Mark such scenes as allowed, and use this check to catch only the careless slips.
