Oh no worries. I can't fix every little thing, but especially with stuff like this I want to double-check and make sure I haven't introduced something game-breaking by accident. And in this case, it turns out I haven't. Working from the save clarified a lot:

-"Flashes Mezz a Look" and Grin are two different ones. Look is the "only occasional use" daze attack. And that move does pop up pretty consistently at the start of this fight on this save, which means RNG has chosen NOW to use it. Once dazed, USUALLY (though not always) they get Mezz's submission up to 100 pretty quick. And from THERE, they USUALLY manage to pull him into performing (this is called "provoke" in the code). However, HERE'S THE KEY BIT:

-Once Mezz finishes off the hyenas and they cum, notice the portrait that flashes, with "GONE"? Normally, you can serve the hyenas a number of times per battle, recovering and getting back into fighting. However, there's a mechanic that puts an upper limit on how many times you can do this, that resets after every full defeat. Every time you finish them off, you get one of those portraits indicating your "corruption" level let's call it, increasingly slutty. I believe there are 4, with "Gone" being the last. When you hit "gone", you're fucked: finishing a session with the thugs is an AUTO LOSS. So the reason you're struggling here is because you've painted yourself into a corner: You're walking around with only one service left (really, zero that you can do safely) and THEN you got nailed with the occasionally spawning daze attack on top of it. You were basically dead-bunny-walking the moment you started that battle because you'd already used up your "allowance" of in-battle fucking for this attempt. 

Keep in mind that the general idea of the storytelling here is that Mezz already has the conditioning, but it's flipped off, and he has to avoid too much exposure to it to avoid re-activating it entirely. The hyenas are toying with him, counting on just that happening. You can let that happen of course, and play the slut route, but if you want to be "clean" ish, you've gotta keep an eye on those portraits.

-Also, despite all this, this still isn't COMPLETELY impossible. I was still able to clear the enemies on this save on my second attempt, and the NEXT battle was easy, because they had already used their randomized allotment of the daze attack for a while and thus could only normal attack and slowly build submission (which they can't do fast enough). It's entirely possible to clear the area with zero margin left for fuck sessions, but you will have to save-scum a bit. Otherwise, just keep an eye on that. But with GT, there's not much inbetween: you either let the momentum take you toward being a good fuckbunny, or you keep yourself REAL clean.
