That may not be true.
No, you can't initiate weird route in chapter one but there are obscure sequences you can do that mirror/foreshadow how weird route dialogue functions.
Pic related, if you talk to the other classmates first your dialog options are just "Not Yet" and "Yes".
But, if instead you immediately beeline Noelle and ignore everyone else, it becomes "Yes. Ask."
IMO it's so specific and miss-able a detail that it suggests the player/soul commanding Noelle was always in the plans.
