This is what hints at Sapphire's parallel to Aster, and why most people believe Sapphire's the true Lorekeeper. In the ORAS arc both Ruby and Zinnia compete for the Lorekeeper role, often sabotaging everything and everyone in their way, but what they're actually competing for is first entry into a psych ward. Neither of them have the ability to hear Fug's voice which would impair their ability to bond with it and all that shit. Of course the ORAS arc is full of good ideas being horribly executed so a lot of this is overshadowed by Ruby's constant sperging.
There's also how the RS arc was big on how both Ruby and Sapphire were needed to control the Red and Blue Orbs, so there were 2 chosen ones. Which creates the expectation they would also be the 2 chosen ones in ORAS, and even Ruby frames the conversation like "please be Lorekeeper with me" as if there can be two Lorekeepers. But since only Sapphire has Fug bonding powers, it's implied only she could be the real Lorekeeper. Which further emphasizes the existing narrative around Ruby going as far back as RS: that one, his rampant mental illness often just gets in Sapphire's (and everyone else's) way, and two, he's so emotionally dependent on Sapphire that he'll lie to everyone, including her and even himself just to get his way/stay with her.
