Why didn't this flirt work?

Not every affectionate or romantic line commits the romance. The guide distinguishes setup, confession and the choice that actually confirms the romance.

Quick questions

Is “I love you.” the Anca romance commit?
No. That line sets the confession. The confirmed romance commitment is “Leaves me hungry for more.”
Can you still romance Anca if she dies?
No. Once Anca's death state has been reached, the romance route cannot continue.
Does the Font of Life commit Anca romance?
No. Coen, Anca, or destroy changes later Anca-related states. Romance still needs the later confession and commit choices.
Does Anca romance decide her entire ending?
No. Romance commitment is only one later state. Survival, leaving the Valley, and other Anca outcomes still feed the epilogue.
Why didn’t a romantic line lock the romance?
Affectionate lines can be setup or confession. Only “Leaves me hungry for more.” confirms the romance.
