Sanity check before I prune (pawb.social)

As nicely as this avocado tree is growing, it does need to be prompted to start branching out at some point.
If I prune off those top baby leaves and leave the two nodes intact, will it start branching from both, or only one?

Current height is around 14 inches tall.

Cheers. I have pruned my avocado again this week. Quite heavily this time, actualy. How's yours doing? Did it branch?!

Branched way more than expected, and had to be brought home, repotted, and placed outside.
Had to use some neem oil as well, a lot of bugs immediately started trying to use it as baby food.
