That "indication" is what Celiss Galvea believes. That is not Taniguchi speaking about those subplots. If it were, I'd just join the crowd and shut up.
What I meant by not "coming into play" was the fact we didn't get anything at all about Naoto himself (he's dead and Kallen looks up to him with admiration. Nothing else) or Kallen's father (what does he do? where is he?).
They didn't suddenly burst into the story as characters or anything.
People were assuming that Naoto would show up alive (though he still could...if he's Kannon like miasmacloud says in a somewhat joking manner) or that Kallen's father would be present.
I don't think that was necessary or that it needed to come into play.
Mentioning her family doesn't mean that they needed to actually play a part in the story, beyond her own motivations.
