Using her finger sign = Rinoa is smart!

[Rantz]

I'm aware of the star thing but...

In the dancing party event, how did Rinoa knew that Squall saw the star in the first place? She didn't see Squall, she saw the star while Squall was staring her, then she saw him and pulled up her finger sign. How did Rinoa knew that Squall saw the star as well?

There's no proof that Rinoa saw Squall that he looked at the star at the same time.

I'd imagine she sees Squall looking at the sky, and looks up herself to see what he's looking at. I don't know, I just find it more likely than the theory that it's a means of controlling him.

As for the flashbacks switching back and forth between Rinoa and Ultimecia, I don't know, it could be anything. That was when he first saw her, after all. Or Rinoa could be Ultimecia for all I know, I actually find that to be one of the less unbelievable theorys appearing around here.

In either case, I doubt the finger has anything to do with it.
