I'm almost torn between wanting the game to have had more big, queer, surreal stuff like it and wanting it to remain its own special thing.
I also really like how it ever so slightly makes you question what we are seeing. Like, did they actually dance in the air, or have the feelings from Swann's last big romantic moment with Nora that summer bleed into the memory and we are seeing something closer to how Swann felt?
The music choice was also perfect. Especially give the lazuli bracelet Swann got from Nora.
As someone that plays these types of games mostly for the romance, this was everything I wanted out of LR in once scene.

The theory was from a period of total radio silence following the reveal of DE. Back when they were constantly saying that both endings would be respected, but little beyond that
I think it was pretty reasonable to give D9 the benefit of the doubt at the time and assume that they were hiding Chloe because of some big reveal. Very few people at that point actually thought they would try to write one of the most important characters in the series out of the franchise and kill off THE big ship of the franchise; In a Max game no less.
There were a ton of theories back then. Basically all of them were focused on what the big reveal would be with Chloe. The engagement ring theory actually seems pretty grounded in context.
