Quick question! (hopefully) In regards to the "animal love" power (and by extension animal hate) my understanding/assumption was that it was an entirely passive thing, since the description just states "animals love you." As in, it simply is one of those always on things that cause animals to be more affectionate/in your face/etc (or hostile/fearful in the hate version) for good OR bad, and there's nothing the character can DO about it to turn it on or off or deliberately use it to influence an animal beyond simply being there.

The reason I ask is because in this side quest reply it specifically describes Ritsuka as "using" animal love as a directed, active power, so am I just misunderstanding it or was this a goof?
