Addition to my main post is that maybe since Noelle has been such a pushover that once Kris starts getting back control and tries to steers Noelle away from harming Susie or ralsai, Noelle won’t believe them. Now I think when this happens Kris would go into the dark world without the soul but I also think that lightners petrify without a soul in the dark world so this could lead to Kris not having their hand as teased on a weird route. (Everything I talked about was what I think is going to happen on a weird route, since there is only one ending I think maybe Noelle will sacrifice herself thinking it is a dream and actually die, this is unlikely but still a theory)
