If statements evaluate a line before they are reached

In C#, my game evaluates this story line by line using `Continue()`. When it sees `VERDICT`, it sets a value into the `verdict` variable from the game side.

However, after continuing to evaluate, it doesn't correctly branch at `verdict < 0.1` with the updated variable.

However, if I add an extra line of text after `VERDICT`, it does work correctly, avoiding the bug,

```
How do you find the defendant?
VERDICT
{verdict < 0.1:
-> acquittal ->
- else:
-> execution ->
}
```

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided story and trace how Continue() evaluates VERDICT and the following conditional branch. Confirm the branch uses the updated verdict value without requiring an extra line of text; no file or test location is specified in the issue.
