Hello, I'm really interested in checking this game out! I went over the list of CWs (really appreciated btw) and they mostly seem okay, however, I am deeply sensitive to animal harm. I wanted to know if that was a pervasive theme across the whole work, or if that is something avoidable/only in a single route. I saw a screencap of what looks like the player character petting a kitten - is that the animal that is abused in the story? Can I do something to avoid that?
If someone is willing to let me know how to avoid this, or if it's just something that can't be avoided, I'd appreciate it :) I hope to see this game do well, it looks fun!
