Way back on early drafts of "Unofficial Chrono Trigger 2," I had assumed that Elaine and Fritz were fiancees, and so wrote them as married. However, in my recent game of Chrono Trigger for the DS, I can't find any cues that would indicate that they're betrothed: in fact, since the Truce item store is family-owned, they may be siblings.
Can anyone provide any concrete evidence for one or the other interpretation, be it from the Woolsey translation, the on-site Retranslation, or the DS translation?

I thought Fritz was her brother.

ELAINE: I guess he's forgotten me.
I think this is the main reason I concluded that Elaine and Fritz were going out. This doesn't seem like something a sister would say.
Thankfully, the Compendium retranslation cleared it up:
Elaine: He...... Fritz is away on a journey, and
hasn't come back......
Yet if he were here, I wouldn't need anything
else......
The liner notes suggest that 彼 could also mean "My boyfriend" as well as "He." It's not exactly an outright declaration, but it seems to be enough evidence for me.
Case closed, I guess. Thanks for the feedback. :)
