Official closure

Sometimes saying a phrase or doing a specific act signals “we’re back to everyday life.” For instance, removing a collar if one was worn, and then hugging. Or saying “scene over, it’s just us now.” This helps psychologically separate any rough/kinky actions from normal life feelings. If something went a bit wrong (maybe a miscommunication), address it calmly now or a bit later when emotions settle: reassure each other that you’re not upset with them, etc.
