Using her finger sign = Rinoa is smart!

[Serapy]

but assuming your TC/R=U theory is correct and Rinoa was trying to make Squall her knight, it wouldn't be illogical because Rinoa would already be in love with Squall and she would know that Squall would be where he was. And Squalls head tilt would be a confused head tilt as he would have no recollection of any prior meetings. And it would also explain why Rinoa knows the dance off by heart and she's not even a SeeD!!!

Exactly! I was just saying that it would be illogical if Rinoa wanted to meet Squall and she started loving him in the stranger-to-stranger situation (pulling up her finger sign to a stranger, meeting him, loving him, etc) FOR no reason. It's hard to explain, other example: If Rinoa never sensed any future plans ahead of herself and Squall, or if she was a normal human for the whole story, then the relationship between herself and Squall would never have happened or at least some of it.
