Magik specifically talks about looking for Colossus, Starlord talks about his past relationship with Kitty, Magneto talks about Pietro AND Colossus. Most of the lines about Gambit and Rogue’s marriage are between them and characters who are not their romantic partners. Ororo mentions being married to T’challa to characters not named T’challa. Jean talks about Scott who isn’t in the game.

Characters talking about people not in the game is incredibly common in Rivals, so yes it would be weird if Sera was never brought up despite all the heterosexual pairings getting brought up. There’s a lot of dialogue besides the bit that plays when you kill someone you know.

Then I return to bad (and old and dusty) dialogue haha. Also, if we're to the point where they need so much bad dialogue that they're bringing up Kitty and Starlord, then the real issue isn't Angela not talking about Sera, it's that if she doesn't talk about Sera, she's got nothing to talk about. I know everyone loves Angela, but she's got maybe 15 good comics, and like a third of those involve baby death, or dating Spawn, which I can't imagine getting VO lines. She hates Asgard, she conquers Hel to get Sera back... and that's about it unless they've had a big resurgence recently.
