Actually we create optional expand: but we can add alternative start path easter egg from reset? not needed. // Add an extra branch from "citadel_deceive"? no, already ending. But we want more replayability — also can add an extra node for a special choice in the middle but it's rich. // Additional twist: if the player reaches certain endings we might display flavor but it's fine. For extra "secret" we add a backdoor from any non-terminal? // But to demonstrate full feature, we also include a "secret" continuation: add a hidden path from sea_shore? Already covered.
