It's been too long ago since I've done this quest so I'm just trying to recall from memory and the only other source I have is wiki. The only thing I could think of is either complete the Tatics Pearl quest and like you said maybe you need some Selbina fame.
I don't think you can see the exact bond number with your fellow, you can have a rough estimate by seeing how many armor you can lock her with or the head options. Just to be safe if you have head options 2 then you definitely have enough bond. Because past reflections takes 30 bonds to flag but picture perfect needs 35 bonds, so you need to wait at least 3 real life days to flag it after you did past reflections, if you call your npc out, and use the rendezvous point every day.
And make sure your npc is lvl 50. I know you probably have it but sometimes it's these little things we missed and we have to back track to find out. Since you mentioned that your bond is 50 instead of your npc lvl being 50.
