Yes, because one week is an intuitive amount of time to wait for a personality reset. I thank you for the advice, but I found it easier to play through the game twenty times and simply avoid the problem. By the time you replied, I had already figured out how to avoid this. By the time I replied, here, countless have been saved from making the same mistake.

It reeks of poor game design. I don't like saying bad things about this game, it has so much potential, but flaws are what flaws are. If Capcom wanted an affinity system they should have let you choose with Arisen's bond and gone no further. The alternative is a myriad of goofy circumstances shoe-horned into place just to make a plot device work. They certainly didn't have any problem with making the ending lousy if you don't choose to save some jack-wad as your beloved, so why is this a problem?

If the Dragon wants Aldous just because I was nice to him and he was the last person I talked to...well quite frankly he can have him. IRL I'd fight the dragon for him, but it ruins the RPG element if he falls into your bed. My Arisen is female, but as a male myself, she is a lesbian. She also doesn't like Aldous much. And she's immortal. What's to stop her from waiting a generation and kicking Gregori's arse the next time? If Lord Julien is to be believed, that would actually be a better move for Gransys.

Everybody has their reasons for doing things. That's my point. Having to sabotage Aldous' affinity to make sure you get the right person in order for a proper story to be told is utterly ridiculous, and I doubt there is anyone here, even you, who would disagree.
