Even so, the end credits screenshots of Ordinal scale nonetheless clearly show them visiting her mother. And no specific time setting is given to the screenshot. It could be a future arc or still not-out-yet- chapter for all we know. And read Ryu Heshin's post, that post is quite relevant. Come to think of it, if ainovelization of Ordinal Scale is made, what would the house scene be replaced with? Asuna writing in her diary at a park at night instead of the house? Would the diary just be ommitted? Displayed to Kazuto freely in a park without him just peeking at it? The latter option seems most likely.
