I'm asking because we see that Miku is talking on the phone with either Itsuki
or Ichika. Who is it?

We know (s1 spoiler)

Is it perhaps clarified in the manga?

In the s1 finale, who is Miku talking to on the phone?


Here's what I understand.

  1. Itsuki went out impersonating Ichika (the '[Uesugi-kun](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FC5V1.jpg)' part) and then
  2. **Ichika ALSO went out** (during this Ichika talks to Miku) but then later
  3. **Ichika went back in** and
  4. Itsuki was still impersonating Ichika, and **Itsuki really hadn't been caught impersonating** because when Ichika went out, Ichika hadn't run into the other quints or something.

**What I don't quite buy is A - that Ichika indeed went out and then just went
back in.** This sounds like a really weird
[overanalytical](https://anime.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4509/is-it-ok-
to-overanalyze-an-anime) Higurashi/Umineko kind of explanation like when a
culprit steals a key and then later returns it or something. **And B - That
Itsuki somehow wasn't caught.**
