Oh, right, there was something in early CS4 2-1 that caught my attention wrt to this discussion: Rean suffering from brain damage again. When talking to Emma on the Merkabah on the way to Bryonia he flashed back to Emma's final bond event... but the romance version. When I had Rean turn all three down in my CS3 file. The two kinda agreed to pretend it never happened but that was weird it happened at all. The scene was ostensibly about Rean commenting on how Emma stopped wearing her glasses so maybe it's just some silly Falcom thing where they check if you saw the final bond event but didn't check/record whether you had Rean pick the romance option or not and just rolled with it because it's about Emma not wearing glasses. Laura and Alisa didn't have similar moments though so I don't think that's it? Like Alisa is notably (to Rean and the player) acting weird because of her feeling guilty for Alberich but there was no reference to any romance stuff. Laura though was just "wanna play VM?"
