If you leave without talking to the village chief you can skip out on recruiting Sonya and meeting with Nero entirely. She has several parts where she will still intereact with you, but not in the way you think. When having Illias as a companion, she will teach you a move, which will be struck on Sonya (she even has a dialog box for this) and Illias will comment that she felt that wave of light hit Illiasville, impressed by the travel length. Illias will also not say her thoughts of Sonya to Luka either.

Either this is just a glitch or there's more to the choices than it seems. Maybe leaving her is the correct thing to do in this timeline?
