I think it's slightly tricky. Kate and the MC don't really need romantic scenes because they know each other fairly well already. The story also provides enough leeway that both Kate and MC have feelings for one another.

For one, Kate seems very emotionally attached to the MC and stops short of asking them about their relationship a few times. And two, the game allows you to play the MC as someone who is almost completely dedicated to Kate's safety and happiness. Both of these are kinda strange for people who've lost touch for several years.

You can work that into friendship, of course. But I think it works for romance as well.
