#insert outfit changes here
THE READER
I don't get it.
THE AUTHOR
I'll give you a moment.
THE READER
Hey! Didn't I have a different outfit on in the last chapter?
THE AUTHOR
Yes but you made the decision to change your outfit in the last chapter.
THE READER
What does my decision from the last chapter have to do with this chapter?
THE AUTHOR
You decided to file the decision away until this chapter.
THE READER
Oh!
THE AUTHOR
You can choose which chapter a decision occurs in.
THE READER
Awesome!
THE AUTHOR
You can make a decision in one chapter and activate it in a later chapter.
THE READER
Interesting.
THE AUTHOR
It is. This is how authors can make choices have affects on the story.
THE READER
Thanks!
THE AUTHOR
You're welcome.

I tried using the pre-made script and it didn’t do much good. I don’t know why. Thank you for helping!
