Quick yet serious question

[ova]

Alright, I got a question for Lesteena route on 2nd playthrough.

It said on the walkthrough that I'll need to avoid at least 1 sub spirit choice, right? ok i got that but...
does it only count before the first branch or can I avoid 1 sub spirit scene after the branch and still got her route? please CONFIRM, asap

ps. depend on the answer, i can avoid a few hours of gameplay lol

It needs to be before the branch, because immediately after that is when you get a route-specific scene for the 5 non-expansion routes. If you've gotten all the subspirit scenes up to that point while not getting Aselia/Esperia/Orpha routes, that means you've now triggered Tokimi/Kyouko routes (for those routes I don't believe you get a new scene until a bit later, on those routes there's a couple extra scenes between the 1st and 2nd branch points involving the subspirits).
