The fact Toby didn't give Susie and Noelle any meaningfull moment like pairing them in chapter 2 and having them fight enemies together is why i think it's a giant red herring. There is more "romance" with Ralsei teaching Susie healing magic. If Noelle at least did that minimum i could somewhat see it happening. But all bonding was NoellexKris in chapter 2 and SusiexKris in chapter 4
