I don't know the answer to that. I just know that that's not an option I got and clearly was an option you got. I looked at YouTube videos and using different criteria for my search, I found, after looking at only two videos, both responses. I wanted to see if it was a glitch one of us got and clearly it isn't. Based off what you say your choices were in Book one, I don't know what the criteria is for getting one over the other. It's not the first time I've seen different options based off different choices made earlier in the book or earlier in the series, so I assume there is a trigger somewhere, but I can't imagine what it might be. I only know there is a difference.

You say you didn't do every single diamond choice with Liam, well I did none. I did however take every nondiamond oportunity to romance him that I could (from what you are saying, I assume you did as well). In the YouTube videos I looked at neither person was romancing Liam. One, romancing Drake got the same option I got. The other, romancing Hana, got the same option you did.

In The Crown & the Flame, Book 1 there is a choice that includes a diamond option, one I actually did buy in my game. I was looking at another guide while working on the one here and I was at a complete loss, because the words were different, completely different. That was the first time I realized that choices have an affect on a more subtle level. In that particular situation, one was where Kenna had expressed love for Dom (and/or vice versa) and the other was where neither of them had done so. The relationships people had built affected the game in a subtle way.

Since then, I have found several other instances, closer to what is going on here. Here is the first example I can find of a similar situation:
 * The Sophomore, Book 2 Choices - Look at Chapter 3, Choice 1.

That isn't the only time that happens, but it's the only one I could find by doing a site wide search for the word "depending." I found some others where a choice added something, but not where they switched out the options, but I know I've seen it elsewhere.

Again, I have no idea what causes it in this situation, but I have to assume it does have to do with the choices made in book 1. Since I guess you are romancing Liam, I am wondering if maybe it was a single choice that made the difference. And it's definitely in book 1, because I restarted book 2 and am doing it completely different (since I switched to Maxwell as soon as that was possible, so I figure seeing as I am already redoing the book, I might as well do it with Maxwell in mind), so I have made completely different choices in book 2 from my first playthrough and I still got the same choice there.
