Beating the game without anything in particular nets you a "flat-end", which does seem to hint at other endings (Let's challenge again, is it insufficient that we rage). I 1cced the game with Marisa/Alice on Easy to test and still got the flat-end, with 24 Coupling points and one as designated Master. Even beating Patchouli again did not net another ending. Judging from other people's comments, if, then it would have to be a Lunatic 1cc or maybe a different hidden condition. It's also possible that there will be an expansion with an additional stage, given that it's called "First Release". The Master/Slave bar indicates who will be the starting master in the next stage, I do not know if there are more functions however. Coupling Points seem to increase the most when in Follow mode, as in the partners being close together.

In Patch 1.10/1.11, Coupling points were given a purpose to unlock a hidden stage if the player manages to collect at least 20 points. Which would often meaning 1CCing the game. This will then give the player the "true-end" they were longing for, after defeating a familiar face.
