How does this transition give the impression that you could change anything?

And if the Harem route stays as it he pretty much can stop that right now and save himself the additional work because thats not a harem.
At the time, I did not finish all 4 chapters, so I was optimistic that since we did not see who Natsumi was going to marry, and that in the next scene we get the message sometimes choices in the past affect the future or something like that... that the wedding with Natsumi was not set completely. I had hoped that if we choose her solo path, (because no one can stay unmarried while having a harem, amirite?) at the last minute, we would run away with her before walking her down the aisle.
After having just finished playing chapter 4,
I see now that the wedding takes place no matter what since we literally wake up in the present, the night after Natsumi's wedding night, with both her and some other girl, naked in bed with our own 'wife' sitting in a chair, bored and frustrated. It sucks that we have no choice in this, as the game assumes we are playing the harem path... we have already married Yui, and Natsumi and her 'wife' are both naked in the same bed we just spend the night having a threesome in.
I'm not sure how exactly we're even supposed to get a solo path with Natsumi if we have no choice in rejecting everyone else. In fact, all we see is Natsumi threatening us to never to cheat on her... or else... not even with our own mother, but I'm supposed to accept out of nowhere we are in some illogical, open relationship with multiple women, some who may have even paired off... because 'reality' demands they can't be unmarried while being in a committed relationship and share the same guy?
Long story short, I do agree this is NOT a harem. I don't know what this is frankly, other than siblings being in a sexual relationship for 11 years, and despite all the declarations of love and how Natsumi wants to have her brother's babies, I see the opposite of that.
Despite the literal thousands of creampies Natsumi has had over the years, she apparently has never gotten pregnant, or at least there was no mention of any children... and despite all the mutual exchanges of "I love you", both siblings still end up marrying other people. I was trying to keep an open mind and hope for the best, but not sure if I will keep playing.
