Am I missing something or is there no way to use inventory items once Alice gets upset? Alice gets upset, I buy flowers, nothing happens. Navigate to inventory, click flowers, nothing. Talk to Alice with the upset tag, can't click "Upset" tag, open inventory click flowers, no options. Normally you'd do the evening "training" and use items there, but if Alice is upset, the "training" dialogue option disappears and there appears to be no way to proceed, effectively soft-locking the whole game...
