Point of No Return

A point at which the player may not turn back. You may not revisit any prior locations or start any missed sidequests; you MUST continue your journey until you beat the game, and any content you avoided up to this point may not be reached.

The Point of No Return is always preceded immediately by the Point of Safe Return, which is the last chance to do sidequests or stock up for the journey. Similar Plot Tunnels lock the player onto a set course for a while, but they don’t lead straight to the end of the game. Game Levels are where you’re frequently prevented from returning to previous areas.

The term “Point of No Return” originates in aviation, where a plane that crosses this point must continue toward its destination.

Point of No Return, Plot Tunnel, and Game Level all have pages on TV Tropes, where you can read more about them and what games they’re in.
SAVE GAME?
This is your last chance to save the game. You are about to cross the Point of No Return. If you do decide to save your game, keep the save file handy should you need to come back.

bond point

The time and place when two people both feel intimately connected to one another as friends.
It is usually not easy or even possible to pinpoint the "bond point" because feeling intimately connected to someone is a feeling that surfaces and slowly or quickly grows to a level where both individuals realize they have bonded.

Last night talking on the phone with someone, every five-minutes or so we kept finding ourselves at higher and higher levels of intimacy and trust.
