//Minerva visit intros rework
//Modified and turned the paragraphs narrating Minerva’s work on rebuilding the tower into a new scene that always plays the first time you visit her after removing her parasite.
//Changed the way intro scenes are chosen after purification to have a chance of playing the original ones too. Also changed it so clearOutput and minervaSprite() are called before the game picks one of the scenes.
//Removed her post-purification “bathing” scene that plays at times when you visit her, as it’s too similar to one of the two original scenes.

//I wrote a version with only pseudocode below, in case you prefer reading it like that
