Your use of "already" is another symptom of procedural thinking. There is no
"after" or "before" in functional programming: events do not happen in a
defined time sequence.

Could I suggest that you create a cut-down example that illustrates your
problem and explain the input structure and the output you want. We'll then
be able to show you how to tackle the problem in a functional way.
