Got curious enough about this one that I dug up a scanlation...and, yeah, the meanings correspond to the SS text. Looks like D's examples of "binary choices" aren't even translations, these English words were printed in the original: All or Nothing, To be or Not to be, Man or Woman. Even knowing it's basically a complete rewrite, though, I can't help but like the TP text better!

Chapter 14: Flowers and the Detective, part 1 This is a very short bonus story (the first of 3), but it's numbered as if it's a full-fledged chapter, so I'll go with it. SS continues to be better at translating the incidental text. From the TP translation, I didn't know Q-chan was openly laughing about Leon getting dumped. D presents Leon with a plant (on the grounds that he's not responsible enough to trust with an animal.) Calls it "Gattolotto" in TP, "Gertrude" in SS. Searching for "Gattolotto" just got me inundated for results about...the Georgia lottery. Good job, internet, I love how much search sucks now. From the Gertrude version, I immediately wondered if there was a reason the plant shares a name with the Rose Garden witch from Madoka Magica: https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Gertrud Well, this might explain it: Saint Gertrude is a patron saint of gardeners: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_of_Nivelles
