• After bathing, Liuyun receives his first choice: get dressed normally, deliberately wet his shorts to make Mikoto bring him clothes and show off, or wet them and politely thank her. The most rewarding options encourage behavior he finds embarrassing, and he protests that he is not the degenerate the system assumes.
