If you've seen corseque's amazing post on the deleted dialogue from E33, you're probably already familiar with the cut voicelines and dialogue:

I wanna point out the fact these lines are separated in the game files as "Battle Dialogue" and "CutScene," or "BD" and "CS" in the actual string names. Battle Dialogue exclusively categories the narrative-related voicelines that are during specific battles, which made me start to think there had to be some fight sequence during this segment before it ended. Which I found a lot of evidence for..

Both Julie and Verso have their Battle Audio Profile scripted for Prologue specifically.

Julie has a few Idle animations that are called upon in the ABP_Battle_Julie and BP_Julie_Battle Blueprints which specify her playable character combat logic.

(In case you're wondering, Julie uses the same weapon type as Gustave and Verso in the battle.)

Julie has two files under EpicBattleSequence (I'm pretty sure it's related to sequencing camera movement, animation, and audio on each skill a character performs) for her basic(?) attack and a single combo attack.

That combo attack actually has an entry as her one skill on the skill tree.

It's also worth noting that Julie isn't mentioned in any of the enemy folders or blueprint scripts, which likely means that she was the playable character during the sequence.

On the other hand, Verso has three different versions of his enemy type in the DT_jRPG_Encounters datatable: Prologue_Verso, ChromaVerso (Cut-content), FinalBossVerso.

Though Prologue_Verso's enemy type isn't as developed as the other two as it isn't even listed in the DT_jRPG_Enemies datatable.

Additional evidence for this comes from blackcoffeebreakfast who actually tried to play the Prologue_Verso enemy encounter via the E33 Randomizer Mod and it was just a placeholder.

I need to check again if the game goes to this placeholder on purpose or if it's just what gets displayed when enemy data is missing in DT_jRPG_Enemies.
