(Wait isn't there a thing in the booklet that has the lyrics and who's singing? Isn't that where we got "HER Whisper" from?)

Nevertheless, it seems like a good assumption that Ly is the one who was framed as a suicide. If that note about her gloomy personality in the booklet isn't foreshadowing, then I don't know what is.

The gloomy personality definitely is a key piece of information, but I am also noticing that it's purposefully pointed out that she wouldn't "cause any problems" because of that. It's possible she just wasn't expected to be suicidal if put under pressure, which is valid, but that might also be a signal she's just too serious or dreary. This is why I brought up the singers, since when Lily is singing this does change things:

We based our assumption for the articles on the gloomy personality for Ly and that it was Iroha singing the first chorus (with maybe a low Miki), and Lily and Miki in the second.

If it is Iroha and Lily in the first and Miki and Iroha in the second, wouldn't that change the meaning of these lines?

It’s the start of a survival game

Mischief and suspicion vanquishes love and friendship

Is the person laughing behind your back really your ally?

"The child died yesterday,

Tripped and fell down a cliff"

That may be a lie

Who will survive in the end?

A survival game that hasn’t ended

The idea of goodness in all mankind is vanquished by reality

Is the person who took my life really the enemy?



“Heartache from the ugly conflict

caused the child to hang themselves,”

That is definitely not the truth.

Who will survive in the end?
