The Star Ocean Universe

Recently, I was asked about my take on the scene between Edge and Airi, the Eldarian Physician, that happens early in the game of The Last Hope (shortly after the first boss battle and before the Calnus becomes Edge's to command). I was asked if I thought the doctor had planted a smooch on Edge after he retrieved the wayward SRF member, Rich from the Balena.

To that question, I had to reply I'd need to see it again. I wasn't sure, and I wasn't recalling the moment that well, either. So today, I started what is now my fifth play-through for The Last Hope, just to answer a few questions, not only for the person who asked me that question but for  myself as well.

In the aforementioned scene, I think something did happen between Edge and Airi, but since they blacked that scene out, I can't be sure of what happened. It could have been a kiss, a hug, a combination of both, or a combination of both with a butt squeeze. In fact, given how Edge reacts after a few seconds, I'd say the latter, just because it's fun to contemplate and all that. Such a scene was cut to black intentionally for the player's imagination. Whatever it was that had happened, Edge didn't exactly fight it right away, perhaps too stunned to react right away.

For those of you who've done that side quest with Airi, what do you think happened?
