I feel like this is choosing to ignore what the game shows and tells you in favor of your own interpretation of the character. The game describes this flag as:Technically yes,but there is little difference between love and lust with Emma. There is no emotional weight to it. She isn't commiting to anyone. She lives and loves in the moment, so when she is saying she loves Ian, she mostly loves the sex they currently have.
Python:
default ian_emma_love = 0 # Ian corresponds Emma's feelings (2= make love, accept feelings / 1= talk feelings / 0.5= call her out)
