A big part of Noelle being attracted to Susie is, like I've already said once, a sort of "you're everything I don't have" kind of deal. But in light of chapter 4 I think part of it is also letting yourself move on to new experiences
A lot of the Holidays as a whole seem practically frozen in time. Their house is always decorated for christmas. Paper snowflakes are bronzed and kept safe at home so they could never be lost or harmed. The missing eldest child's room is kept exactly as she left it, all these years later. Everything is the same; Noelle has always gone to school with the same people, in the same town, everything is the same. Don't acknowledge what's different; it's painful.
And then in comes this new girl who seems to change the atmosphere of a room with her very presence. People don't give her the time of day. She's rough, she's rude, she eats weird things, she kicked a ball into Undyne's car window. Sure, Catti is dark and standoffish, and Kris is a quiet weirdo who likes to pull pranks on people, but they have rapport. Kris is a Dreemurr, and people like the Dreemurrs. People like the Cattenheimers. They're established as part of the community. Susie? She's an outsider who couldn't get along with people and now might as well be kept out by the entire town, minus a few kind souls.
Point is, she's new and that's scary. And to Noelle, there's something alluring about that. And when she learns more about her-- the movies she watches, the games she plays, what she does for other people, it only draws her further in. How could anyone hate her? She's new, and she's wonderful. Talking to her feels so natural after getting over that initial fear. Over that common belief that Susie should be avoided.
The biggest example of this is their conversation in Dess's room. A room that's been untouched for years, out of... respect? Hope, that one day she might reappear? Refusal to acknowledge that she's gone? Whatever it is, it's been made very clear over time that her room is NOT to be disturbed. And Susie, knowing none of this, barges in and sits at the foot of Dess's still-messy bed, inviting Noelle to sit with her. Clearly this is breaking a rule of some kind, but Noelle decides that maybe, there can be some new memories made in this room.
Maybe some new memories made with that guitar she misses hearing.
Idk. I have no idea how well this is articulated. I like suselle
