+Added Dr. Sterling's full questline
+Added a frenzy scene for Melissa
She is located very close to her original location
If the player has already pushed Melissa to the point of frenzy where she would originally leave, she will now return as of this update
+Added the ability to infest male characters with parasites, so long as they are not diminished
This effect is currently only cosmetic, as diminished males already become willing females, and sex scenes for non-diminished males are still in the pipeline
*Revised Madison's questline (spoilers ahead)
If giving Madison the correct textbook, the player will still have a chance to warn her about the Keeper of Secrets before the interaction ends
When giving Madison the incorrect textbook and choosing to warn her, the quest now completes and rewards XP
Attempting to find Madison post-questline where the incorrect textbook was given to her will now drop hints about her fate
The quest log should now properly update between the quest stages regardless of path chosen
Some of these changes may not work for existing saves where the quest has already started or completed, so a Debug subsection with a Madison Quest option has been added to the Dev Console and may be used to Force Complete (or Force Reset) the quest if any issues have arise
*Applied a fix for an error where Madison could disappear from her location prematurely
*Applied a fix for an issue where the player could get stuck at Tom's house if he went into a frenzy while there
*Applied a fix for the police station quest
where a scene could prematurely play out before player interaction
where a potential penis size change would not successfully occur
*Melissa's location will no longer get tangled with Priya's location once Priya has been frenzied
*Improved formatting for the quest tracker, frenzies, and arboretum overlook
*Obtaining the restricted section pass from anyone now passes time
*The Arboretum Overlook is now considered part of the Arboretum, and not part of the Art Building
*Added some more text to the end of the introduction
*Edited some descriptions around the art building
*Various spelling and grammar fixes
*Minor performance improvements
