I ACTUALLY DID GET THE ROMANCE ENDING
what i did was keep the keys, encourage and then join the fight, decide to take the trials, ask about the cards [when he drops the jello and deck], and distract with food!!!
Oh, okay unexpected!! I had no idea the keys would affect Noel's ending that (and lol encouraging Noel and Faye to fight? - that's so funny, or maybe do you mean fight Hordes and the TT Guys with Mitts before that?) I will try that thank you!! I went to sleep this morning feeling so sad I couldn't get this ending LOL - YOU are an angel cyno!! \^_^/
