Pretending Reine isn't Phantom, is just grasping at straws at this point - 'Reine Murasame' is likely a glamour anyway, like when she appeared as Rinne. Or hell, Rinne looks older in her AstralDress, maybe Mio/Reine looks younger, but still recognizable.

is it confirmed or did people just see her face and assume (or in the case of the reader, read her description and character's reactions and assume)? Does Phantom actually confirm in words that she is Reine? A very similar looking young girl could also easily be a daughter. Origami gave a description that is notably different than how Reine is. Mio was described as a young girl. Reine is clearly an adult and couldn't really pass for a young girl. Even with an incorrect assumption Shidou still speculates Reine in her 20s which is still not considered a young girl. Bringing up Rinne doesn't create an excuse either since the movies are not canon. Phantom taking her appearance does not make it canon. It's likely just that the author just wanted to use her design. Then as I have pointed out before and the thing that gives me the biggest doubt. She was described as being on the bridge during the battle with the Goetia without even a passing comment about her leaving. and this was going on at the same time as Origami was meeting Phantom. An assumption that she left during the battle is not proof that she left since there isn't a single word to suggest it.
