@Manaboy, its been kept vague for a reason.

The one issue I have with this theory is that its been established that Merli is the "Antagonist" of the story and Lapis is the "protagonist". That doesn't mean that Lapis is instantly good and MErli bad, but the impression is just that. There is a wall poster of Merli attacking Lapis and sinces its official, its safe to say there is no intention of there being love between the two originally. Sadly I can't show you it as i=Style has a shop that basically no longer exists. The devs have been silent since 2016 and I think that Lapis and Merli appear to be from a now defunct project.

More towards the end, the pair just got treated as cute animal girls more then diving into any real details on them. By 2016, this is what the pair got portrayed as more often then not. And of course... There was no activity for V3 from their devs at all so I think their basically gone.

Lapis was popular early on in V3, but by the time Merli came along... She was one of the victims of the V3 crunch. Basically, with V3 you had that situation of a lot of voicebanks being produced too many too fast. There were winners and losers as a result as the market got over-saturated with voicebanks. So we may never get much revealed at all.
