There is an important lesson here about how to approach the rules in TFT. This is a 'technical' game in the sense that it is built intentionally around the idea the players will use the structured rules governing movement and actions to compete with each other and gain advantage. But, parts of it are not written in a tightly-reasoned, legalistic way; there are many instances where a specific rule comes across as ambiguous. Yet the basic structure of the rules are clear. I feel like its important to be guided by the structure of the rules when you are trying to decide particular ambiguities. In this case, it is clear that each 'option' provides you a constraint on movement in the movement phase coupled with a single action in the action phase.
