For me, it’s much easier when I make each choice go to a new label than nesting choices.

Instead of making the indents keep increasing by giving choices inside of the effects for choices, use \*goto so the choices are always at the 0th indent.

Be sure to use something that shows indents clearly, like Notepad ++
