My point not what she conicously understands, it is what she feels. Again read my post about it in Arc 5's early narration in combiantion with that. Those are new feelings that been appearing since the end of Arc 4. That's why she allowed Subaru to kiss her even through she had no idea what he was going to do to begin with. It's fairly common in fcition for chadracters who don't realize themselves are in love until they have an epiphany or someone tells them are. Crusch is like this in Ex 1, she did not realize she had feeling for Fourier untul he died. Yet could tells Subaru's feelings for Emilia

I say it again, if Emilia couldn't tell the different between romantic love and familial (which has never be said to begin with) love she would not have correctly percived that Subaru loved Rem or foster parents feelings. She just doesn't fully understand her own feelings and what to do with them which why she can't anwser Subaru yet. However, her internal feelings are certainly not pointing anything platonic (especially with her getting jealous of Shaula in multiple instances of Arc 6 and it is not play off for laughs), like it was in Arc 1-3. Emilia clearly sees him more just friend or some family member even if she can't decide if she actually loves him or not, which is why there is so much empathsis and evidence placed them. Tappei's laying the groiundwork for her self-realization of her inner most feelings.
