Sorry about that! The two pre-images in Lightning Network scripts are used to ensure that both the sender and the recipient of a Bitcoin transaction can verify the authenticity of the funds transfer. The first pre-image is used to prove that the sender is in control of their private keys, and the second pre-image is used to ensure that the recipient has received the expected amount of funds. By having two pre-images, both parties can be sure that the transaction is valid and authorized.
