That's a fair description. For now, yes, the things I mentioned aren't "paths" really. But it does feel like it could be potentially. Bringing Ellie's friend shopping might only be a scene you can choose to skip,--an example of your yes/no choice--but it felt like it
could lead to an actual branch of whether Sophia gets involved with her student(s) or not. Same with the subway scene and Patricia events in the future. So yea, I'd agree that for now there are two "paths" and so far some potential "branches" on the filthy path. Semantics, I suppose
