@Blue I agree with you that Harleep is not an apt or strong comparison. It's an entirely different thing imo. I wouldn't compare them.

Given there are also players on here, on both sides, even, saying the kisses themselves are triggering, if we're speaking of a toggle, would it not make the most sense to toggle kisses themselves? Make it hurt in dialogue leading to the patch 7 kisses, be gentle on dialogue leading to the patch 5 kiss? Just throwing that out as a thought.
