Could be Seth.

The time frame seems wrong, I admit, if FML is part of Project MA.

The child born in the fifth project wouldn't be old enough to be a part of the experiments for further projects, unless I'm vastly misremembering the amount of time between projects. Given only about 14 years passes between Meta's death and the Levianta Catastrophe, unless this child grew to maturity abnormally fast. We don't see that with Hansel and Gretel, so it seems unlikely.

IIRC, and what I had in mind while writing the theory (before I caved and made an account finally) was that the implications in FML were that the person being made was the person who had made the singer, not so much a mentor. With that thought, Levia and Behemo could be loosely considered the singer's creators, which would tie in with Project MA. If so, the singer of FML could definitely be hearing Levia and Behemo's voices telling her to continue the experiments - the person they're singing about "can't return" and so the project has to continue.

If, say, Project MA officially ended with the Levianta Catastrophe, perhaps FML takes place afterwards with fringe scientists who escaped the destruction and are still dedicated to finishing the experiment. Seth's ghoul children survived under Castle Hedgehog, as we know now, so it's possible that there were other researchers there still after the catastrophe.

That's more speculative than anything, but Castle Hedgehog just keeps popping up over and over again.

Since I was looking into it, I listened to the song a few more times - I think there's no way Barisol's Child isn't about the fifth project's result, but I'm not so sure that my original theory about said child being the singer of FML holds as much water based on something I noticed during these re-listens.

So I'm going to rework it a little.

One of the lines in FML refers to "combining the two into one" and noting that it doesn't mean that said "one" is worth twice as much. Sort of like a single baby that was supposed to be twins.

I think, probably, it's more likely that the singer of FML was part of the fifth project and the song is documenting this failed project's conception.

Maybe the singer is Marina Lucif herself - there's "Rin" in her name, she's linked to Project MA, and she's the ancestor to more Rin and Len characters.
