Situation: I'm playing S&S Merisiel, in her Shadow role, and I have the power feat reducing BYA and AYA damage to zero.
I am sharing a location with another character (let's say Gronk), and that character encounters a monster that deals BYA damage to everybody at that location.
To date, we have been defining 'you' very tightly, meaning Merisiel cannot use her ability to reduce damage, since Gronk is the one encountering the monster and thus is the character who is acting (aka 'you'). Since Merisiel is not acting, her BYA ability doesn't work.
Is this the correct interpretation?

Before you act is about when more than who. You can generally taste it as "during the before you act step".
So, her ability works.
"Taste" should be "treat" in my comment above. Swipe keyboards are not kind to me. Before you act has no taste that I am aware of.

Most BYAs taste like hot dog water and feet to me.
