I actually found a bug though; I bought food but the "Melo finishes his meal and wipes away some food bits that gathered onto his pants ." text did not display. I talked to the snake vendor and then went home to go to the shark bouncer. Upon getting vored by said bouncer, when Melo should have died, he finished his food and was back at the store. I left the store and effectively was sent back in time as I was able to go back to the bouncer and ask "about that exception" Upon doing that I was able to go into the vore minigame to realize that my initiative bar and the satisfaction bar had saved progress from before and the hunger and anger bars were reset. So I could beat the minigame with ease.
