Imagining this scene with Opera saying this out loud made me smile: that question mark alone (which I figure was left there by mistake) makes the difference. Imagine that Claude is asking Opera what she's going to do now that she's found Ernest, possibly with a somewhat worried expression on his face, revealing that he doesn't want her to leave; then imagine Opera replying with this line.We left Opera confronting a man who looks like Ernest, but apparently isn't: he says he wants the Energy Stone, and steps forward to get it from Leon, but Opera points her cannon at him. Evidently she knows this guy's dangerous. But 'Ernest' doesn't stop, and Opera, scared to her wits, fires a shot, blowing him away (boy, I should have taken a screenshot of that part, it was hilarious); however, she feels still unsure about her feelings, and realizes she might have made a mistake in shooting him. Therefore, Opera rushes to 'Ernest' to check if he's alright, but falls into his trap: he seizes her (probably with his whip) and threatens the others to harm her if they don't give him the stone.
But our heroes react very quickly and engage him in a battle (a very easy one), which reveals him to be a sort of spirit who possessed the real Ernest. The battle ends with the spirit vanished and Ernest badly hurt, but fortunately we've got our personal healing machine to aid him. A single spellcast from our kind Rena and Ernest is back up on his feet. He doesn't elaborate much about his situation, other than saying he was exploring the Hoffmann Ruins. We are also spared any heartfelt-reunion scene between Opera and her love, mainly because she knows him to be a very unromantic fellow ('Ernest wouldn't woo a woman like that' she said to the possessed Ernest earlier).
