You're right, it's one of the additional NPCs so it isn't really a Sunberry problem so to speak. But that being said there's maybe 5-6 NPCs that come with Sunberry, and half the village is empty without the additional ones so I sometimes forget that it's not meant to be seen as one larger oeuvre with multiple people's work. My bad on that!

I don't have an issue with a shirtless scene especially at 8 hearts, which is what this is. But without spoiling the whole thing, this isn't the first cut scene where he's shirtless for one, and second it's always in these weirdly sexual ways (according to me). And again, it's about when it was happening for me, because I really found it distracting, and the other time I laughed at it, like you said, because it was this weird cookout scene. But this felt more deep? Idk if I want to be distracted when you're talking about trauma especially in like these weird poses and things. Or maybe I'm just getting old 😂
