Note that unless you get your ticket re-issued (which might comes with a fee), your ex-friend can still look up your PNR by using your ticket number, which should be either just 1 digit before or after hers.

Seems you booked 2 tickets together on CX's website, so you paid both using your credit card? I assume you have the right to cancel and get a refund of her ticket in this case?

I think the passenger listed first, will retain the original PNR- might be wrong but that’s my vague recollection from whenever we had to split PNRs (While making the booking: input my details first, wife’s second. For some reason - probably alphabetical sort at work- CX’s system would assign her the lower e ticket numbers- aka the first passenger on the PNR- and on splitting, she would retain the original PNR reference, and I got a new PNR)

ernestnywang might know the mechanics better.
The pax on the old PNR can be any of the pax. Amadeus allows you to select which pax you want to take away from the original PNR.
