The only way to avert the tragic end of the prophecy is for Kris and Susie to finish their homework

It won't. At best we'll get an ambiguous ending with the whole group together that can be interpreted as platonic friends or more. At worst we'll get a detailed, 20 minute long sequence of Noelle and Susie at the festival together, getting onto a ferris wheel, and vowing to be something more when all things are said and done.
Genuinely, Toby is more focused on the meta-narrative he's doing about control, player input, player choice, and how that impacts characters in the narrative itself. I would bet anything the small moments where you can favor one character or another, who you want to take to the festival, all of that, it just serves to highlight more of that meta-narrative. How the player is pushing Kris towards something they personally want to see without consideration of what Kris wants to be. That, and Toby loves leaving things open to interpretation. What did Kris write on the fogged up window? Was it really Asriel who kept the How to Draw Dragons book overdue? Does Kris actually want to take Susie to the festival since it's the only option they don't resist? Or do they just want to go with them since they're the only real world, genuine friend they have at the moment?
If I can wish for anything, I'd love at least a small scene at the festival that acknowledges who you've been pushing Kris towards. Maybe a quick 3 minute scene where Kris specifically hangs out with Susie/Noelle/Berdly or goes to the Dark World to be with Ralsei. Even if it's platonic, at least some acknowledgment. But I could easily see Toby feeling like that goes against the "themes". Hell, the guy won't sell light world character merch because he's so obsessed with that.
I truly don't think it's gonna happen. Not in any definitive way.
This is why I wrote a bunch of Krusie fics years back because you gotta manifest what you want to see.
