{lo nu nelci} may recur in the future, after {lo nu prami}. That will
reverse the relationship: {lo nu prami cu purci lo nu nelci}. But
right now/here it's {lo nu nelci} which is before the other, therefore
{lo nu nelci cu nau purci lo nu prami}. Or it can be the other way
arouond: {mi} had been used to love {do} before they became just
friends, which is now being followed by the event of {mi} loving {do}
again.

I see.

Must {nau} and PU in {gi'e -tense- bo} always behave as a connective?
In {mi do pu nelci gi'e nau bo prami}, why is {nau} seen as a
connective while the two bridi are already logically connected by
{gi'e}?
