Friendship vs Romance
Friendship and romance are separate relationship paths shaped by interactions and character-linked side quests.
Quick answer: Let dialogue and quest choices build the intended bond; do not assume every friendly character is romanceable.

|---|---|
| Official evidence | The official Q&A lists both friendship and romance among possible relationships. |
