Flow Designer: Parallel Catalog Tasks — stop waiting on first reject

Hi ,
I’m using Flow Designer with “Do the following in parallel” action to create two Catalog Tasks (SCTASKs) at the same time. Each task has its own catalog variable (variables are on the Catalog Item , not on the SCTASK table):
• Task A uses Variable 1 (approve / reject)
• Task B uses Variable 2 (approve / reject)
I need this behavior:
1. If Variable 1 = Approved, then wait for Variable 2 to be decided (and vice versa).
2. If either Variable 1 or Variable 2 = Rejected, then stop waiting immediately and close things out (close/complete the SCTASKs and cancel/close the RITM / request).
Because the tasks can be worked in any order, I need the flow to handle “first reject wins” and “otherwise wait until both approve”.
Question: What’s the best way to implement this in Flow Designer?
• Can Flow Designer wait for whichever decision happens first (approve/reject) across parallel branches, and then conditionally terminate the other branch?
Any guidance or best-practice suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
