Could the Rin from Wordplay be related to Irregular somehow? (I'm assuming that the "Wordplay" Rin and the Rin from "Clockwork Lullaby" are the same as I write this, since that seems to be the general consensus from what I've seen anyways, though I don't really know if there's any evidence to back that up.)

For my actual theory, I think that the one who "frees" Irregular at the end of RB is WP!Rin. For example, in Clockwork Lullaby she says "Obtaining the key known as words" and "this singing voice I wonder, who will it end up reaching?" Towards the end of RB, Irregular says, "That day I found out The meaning of truth of that song And it's a lullaby for me." I think she's the one who "adds" the words to the lullaby, since adding those words is what frees Irregular and in Clockwork Lullaby she describes her words as a key.

The lyrics "I wonder, can it heal your heart? Carrying the sin known as desire Now you will keep dreaming" seems to be connected to the part where the spring begins talking to Irregular and basically says "You're not forgiven, but let's add these words to the song." Maybe the lullaby is healing Irregular's heart of the sin of desire. The words "We will make those changes to the song" in Re_Birthday also sort of seem to connect to "Tell me the words as usual And I will change those into a song," which are the first lines of Clockwork Lullaby.

Also somewhat unrelated, but the reason I think this Rin is the same as the one from Wordplay is because of all the talking of adding words and songs and stuff.

Sorry if this theory is really stupid or outdated! I'm sort of behind on the series and this theory just came to me one day while I was listening to music in the car. If nothing else, I hope this helped give you a few more connections to things in EC.
