Here is the choice that has the issue

Sorry, I didn’t read the whole feed so I’m not 100% sure what the issue is, but, I don’t know if you can have the gain after the goto. Once you have the goto command, you’re no longer in that part of the script. I would expect the gain to be before the goto command.

your gain name is chose_no

but in the condition you use:

}“No I am angry to do anything” if (choose_no){

so it will not work - the gain and the condition must be exactly the same.

Also I agree with what is written above

you need to write first gain and then goto since goto leadrs reader elswhere so his app will never read any line under the goto
gain rosella_captured
goto rosella_captured

also you have label

label rosella_captured
#scene
label forest_trees
#scene

so everybody who goes by label rosella_captured will then see also the scene under label forest_trees - dunno if you wanted this
