It has nothing to do with your relationship and more to do with how much you’re acting like a hero. f you got Past Glory, then you’re being too heroic.
Things that make you more heroic:
Tell Ortega you don’t want to register
In the flashback fight with Psychopathor, either jump out yourself or mentally distract as a tactician.
In the Heartbreak flashback, say people need your help or the team needs your help.
Against Heartbreak, think about your friends / shoot it
Things that make you less heroic:
Tell Ortega you’re not ready for the big leagues.
Do two heroic things (or three, plus the decrease) and then go look at your own exhibit.
Though if you’re not heroic enough you will be get Joined at the Hip instead.
