Hey I did not assume Nora wanted to have a relationship with Ren based off season 1 stuff. I just assumed she was a nervous person for I do stuff like that on girls I just want to have friends with, or boys I am non romantically attracted to but I am just socially nervous.
Aka kind of like a similar scene from Season 3 with Nora freaking out, but Season 1 Nora was at a different stage in the anxiety cycle where she has lots of nervous energy that has an outlet vs no outlet and thus Nora catastrophes for the future.

I can see also that Nora may be romantically attracted to Ren in season 1, but assuming it to just be so is projection.
Now Jaune, Pyrra, and Weiss is clear as day.
