Noelle isn't the Angel normally. The crew sees the glass depicting the Angel and they don't say anything about it looking like anyone they know.
>* Hey, below the words, that picture...
>* ... What the hell... is that supposed to be...?
>* That... that's the Angel, Susie.
>* What... to my understanding, it actually looks like.
>* ...
>* I... I dunno about that, man.
>* (It's a prophecy...)
>* (... Looking at it made you feel strange. You did not investigate further.)

The symbolism is around Noelle Angel is always about her WANTING to be the Angel. She wants to have wings and fly off.
The symbolism in Chapter 4 was all about the player BEING the Angel, the doll covering us, people saying the Angel will guide Kris, the glass we can't see making a black screen that could reflect our face IRL.

Noelle is only going to become The Angel in Weird Route, where we're actively making her stronger and putting a part of ourselves inside her.

We don't know for sure yet. The thing we put into Noelle may be what said Thank You there, not Noelle herself.

Weird Route has no lesbian fanfic to it. We're explicitly destroying that in Weird Route.
