Yes. You are able to follow any event in any order, mixing and matching, jumping between characters. The description clarrifies this.
I get that you can jump in terms of order and characters. My issue here was two branches that were mutually exclusive narratively, so I'm not sure how to interpret stuff that stems from them, considering the events from both couldn't have happened.
Aah that makes sense, perhaps it could be a bug in the game then?
