I don't think it holds up. Irina is contradicting the obvious fact it is the Marlon Spoon and saying the opposite so Venomania doesn't take it. Any explanation she gives, while possibly based on truth, is not be taken seriously in my opinion.

I don't think Recollective Musicbox is necesarilly wrong in that it is the same as Daughter of Evil: a skewed perspective of the story. Let us take the facts we know:


 * Irina's spirit inhabits a cat that can possess humans and use them as her own


 * Elluka "loses her loved one and destroys what was precious" according to Chrono Story


 * Recollective Musicbox implies that the engaged woman killed Kirill's sister

With that in mind, one can construct the scenario that Irina, possessing the sister of Kirill, either attacked Elluka or prompted Elluka to attack her, leading a to a battle that resulted in the sister's death. Since Irina was only using the body, she runs away in her cat body and leaves Elluka crying over the person she had to kill and Kirill walks in afterward.

From there, the story is told based on hearsay from the nearby populace who saw the events take place from the outside as well as from an insane Kirill, who obviously will not give the best portrayal of events. That is at least how I it, even if the exact scenario I just detailed isn't the true story.
