I suppose that would make sense! Unfortunately in this case I have not edited anything - seems silly when you can zoom through with skip. I just went ahead and did that and got it all back. It's a credit to the game's writing that in many spaces I just re-read the scenes! Thankfully whatever went wrong didn't keep me from re-unlocking them. Thank you for the scorched earth trick, if I ever need it for a renpy game I'll keep it in mind!
