In all honesty I imagine a video montage kind of thing where they are each going about their lives and talking out loud as if the other could hear but neither really knows what the other is saying. If you know what I mean.

Chishio, just because it is a commonly used trope doesnt mean that it cant be handled well. Maybe her family has to believe her dead for them to stay safe, maybe she is in hiding for some reason but had to make the world believe she died. This would lend to her wanting to explain why she did it.

The Bespectacled Guy: 5. I understand your take on the lyrics but I feel that her being dead is a more plausible explanation, especially given the imagery used (blood, emptiness, etc.). I will admit that I do not completely understand the song. Why is Summer complaining that she wishes she could reason with her daughter "if only for a minute" if she's communicating with her there and then? Why is there such a sense of urgency?

With what I said above it would open up the doorway for the sense of, not so much urgency, but necessity and longing that would go hand in hand with the "if only for a minute" line.
