Yeah, I do really like Yukari as a character nowadays. I actually kinda went through a similar process with both her and Rise where I honestly hated both characters my first time through but came to really appreciate them over time once I started digging a little deeper.

To explain my frustrations a bit more thoroughly, that scene ticked me off at the time because I felt like the penalty was harsher than necessary for what was a not perfect but still somewhat reasonable (IMO) course of action, at least by Western social norms.

Like, S. Link reversals are usually reserved for times that you REALLY bungled your relationship with someone, like cheating on a SO or just ignoring someone completely for a significant length of time, and that didn't feel on par to me.

To give a TL;DR: I see now why it was a scew up and think it is consistent with her character, it was mainly the level of mechanical punishment attached that makes the moment seem weird to me. Hopefully that makes a bit of sense.
