Towards the start of the game Yemi, Ailish's handmaiden, says "Looks like you're not going to see your little soldier-boy for a while. Oh well, Buki will keep him busy." This line is a reference to an affair that was going to happen between Tal and Buki during the course of the game. The affair subplot was cut, but the line was left as it spurs Ailish into following Tal.
