Claude: Oh, my bad. I thought you were another person.
Our friends are a bit disheartened: although they've beaten Lover, kept everyone safe and preserved the Rune Codes, they now know the Ten Wise Men are aware of their movements. Claude and Rena are also concerned about what Lover said regarding her having already killed the guardian of the Field of Love; much to their surprise, though, they're again greeted by another flash of light and a vision, after which they finally obtain the Jewel of Love.
But the vision Claude (and Rena, as far as I remember) has this time is different from the previous ones, in that it's not simply a scene from the past (or present): he finds himself lying in a dark, empty space, unable to move, apparently in pain. The faint silhouette of someone then appears before him, emitting small light sparks. By looking at the screenshot you can immediately tell it's Rena, but in the real game there's not enough contrast to tell right away; of course who it is that appears isn't always her, it depends on who has the highest level of romance with Claude at the moment. Even if you don't recognize the figure, you can certainly guess who it is by the way she talks.
Before I forget, there's a thing that I wanted to mention about the dialogue between (in this case) Claude and Rena after beating Lover: their lines are absolutely generic and overly dramatic. How is that news, you ask? Well, game-wise, this is obviously one of the cases where the developers didn't bother differentiating the dialogue, so this sounds like a general 'I'm glad you're safe' dialogue between Claude and his 'best freind'; which sounds especially awkward when Rena's the friend, because Claude saved her twice in the past, yet they talk like that now. Actually, I think this would sound off even with anyone else, because it's so impersonal.
