I feel like them briefly playing with the idea in volume 9 should be interpreted as Norio taking the proverbial gun off the wall that she implicitly placed there when she made Yamada an actress, firing a bullet into the air to show it's full of blanks, and throwing it into the incinerator. She's not going to go there for drama, anyone who thinks otherwise is either trolling or illiterate.
