Two love routes end level on points: who gets the story?

A branching story counts affection for several characters and picks a route at the end. Ties are rare in testing and common in play, and a tie decided by list order feels random. Here is a fair rule, and when no route should win at all.

Why this works

A tie needs a rule the player could have guessed and would call fair. Whoever reached the top first earned it earlier, so the order of events decides rather than an arbitrary list. A minimum keeps a route from ending on someone the player barely met.

When not to use it

Do not use it when the player should choose the ending directly, for example with a final question that names who they love. Points then only matter as hints, and a decision made on stage is better than a hidden count.
