Is the game supposed to end at the ball event where you pair up with a partner, or is this the game glitching out?

*spoiler warning* i played a villain who fell in love with Steel Aeronaut, i watched her die three times. how do i save her from Joo? is there a way to kill Joo before this? Does animal DNA powers work with this, or should i try something else?

I've tried several times to save Larrissa from the lightning witch, and someone said u gotta train her twice, but I've only ever had her train one time, it's suuupeer frustrating having to restart, pls help meeeee!

She was my favorite female character in the story, and I'd prefer to continue that rather than be surrounded by strangers.

wasnt this supposed to be released now?
