It's no bother. Liquid Effluvium is the best way to lower NPCs' affinity. Present it to them like a gift.

You can purchase a few from Barroch if you don't have any. He restocks every few days. It also purifies from cursed novelties on BBI. Otherwise you'll have to fall back on the old standard of unsheathing your weapon next to her (I've never done that so I can't confirm if it's effective) or just outright attacking her. God only knows why Capcom removed LE from Johnathan's inventory.

Or you could wait till next round to try for Mercedes.
