Melancholy Curate story in the era Making the Name

I am replaying early content on an alt.
I've just written a Short Story and the next level is gaining admission to the Ball, which I almost automatically clicked on (having all the required resources). Just in the nick of time I noticed that the "Melancholy Curate and his... Sister?" storylet requires *exactly* NSwaF 3. Am I reading this right? If I proceed with gaining admission to the ball without clicking on that storylet first I lose access to the Melancholy Curate story forevermore?

If it requires exactly 3 then you'll definitely lose access to it if you progress up to 4.

Yes, that is the literal reading of the mechanic, I realise.
I suppose the point of my post is 1) to express surprise that such a major story is so easily locked out and 2) to clarify that there isn't a second similar storylet that unlocks at level 4. At earlier levels some storylets came in pairs - one for an exact value and one for higher values (for example, Writing Desk). So I was just checking this isn't the case for Melancholy Curate

If Melancholy Curate+His Sister blocks at NSWF 4, I'll be sorely disappointed, that thing is a huge grind and it doesn't feel right to block it like that if someone wants to wait until their Persuasive is high enough.

Ignacious, the Fluid Professor, he will accept most social invitations, including boxed cats and affluent photographers (but only betrayals), though he is absent-minded and might take more time than entirely necessary. He apologizes.

I'm not seeing a duplicate version for 4, alas. It is pretty grindy, but it's a decent way to build up your Persuasive in preparation for the Shuttered Palace. You can always submit feedback here if you'd like to suggest keeping it around for a couple more levels: feedback@failbettergames.com

It does block and I'm disappointed as well. It hasn't provided that 400cp of Persuasive in some time (I think its 150 now). But I enjoyed both the way it nested new options on the mechanical side and the writing.
