If I remember correctly, I think my original reasoning behind that translation choice was 'Shiroitori sounds a bit like Hatsutori, and that's who this is referring to, so maybe people will pick up on that easier if I leave it as is?' 

I do think you're right in that it's unnecessarily confusing to an English audience, though, especially since there are mentions of 'doves' later on, so I'll change it!

I've been planning to put an update out eventually/somewhat soon (to fix various visual bugs like the Tina password + some issues with text escaping text boxes and certain symbols not displaying properly + a couple typos I've found) and this fix will be in there. Thanks for letting me know!

Yeah, I can definitely see the logic. Sadly the english language makes all the steps really convoluted. (Mr? So it’s a name? Just a capital S? So it’s a name or a proper Noun? Not capitalized? So what’s a japanese word doing here, also did they somehow typo hatsutori?). It’s a messy problem to solve!

Thank you for taking my suggestion to heart! And for your continued hard work! Thank you so very very much!!!

No problem! Honestly, you caught me at a lucky time where I can actually implement the feedback instead of going 'yeah, I agree, but...' 

I'm generally open to suggestions as long as they're reasonable (meaning, not things like 'why did you translate a character going iyada~ in Japanese to Noooooo! in English? It's a really liberal translation :/' or 'why are you westernizing this game by removing the Japanese quotation marks', or like "why did you 'make' this character say he needs to fill up his gas at the gas station because he's running out, all he said in Japanese was he needed to fill up the gas at the station....") so if there are any other suggestions you have feel free to let me know! I can't promise I'll be able to fix everything/incorporate all changes but I can at least listen.
