it's a chuuni furigana thing where the title is written "way of life" but read "virgin road" (which is itself a loanword for a wedding aisle). so yes

It's also a very silly Japanese pun where 処刑少女 (executioner girl) gets abbreviated to 処女 (virgin)

they contracted mili for it, a japanese indie music group who like doing songs with really weird progression and thematically heavy lyrics. they did some major songs for library of ruina for anyone who's played that

also note that as loving weird and abstract as this song's lyrics look, nearly every single line is directly related to the plot in some way

Ashuna is a side character who's absolutely convinced that she's the protagonist of the most important story in the world. She's great.

I have to wonder why Akari mind blanks herself each loop. How will she alter the timeline if she just makes the same choices each time?

The novels explain it a little bit more clearly.

She erases her memories to help her keep up the facade of a clueless new arrival, so that the entire church doesn't realize how much of a threat she really is and immediately come down on her head. If she's in immediate danger or separated from Menou, she can get her memories back.

If I had one criticism with the shows otherwise pretty good world building so far:

I did sort of get the impression that the church was meant to be written as "ruthless but logical and efficient" but comes off more as the kind of organization that likes to think of itself as ruthless but logical and efficient but actually does a lot of dumb counterproductive poo poo. The idea of the church running a bunch of Potemkin villages full of executioner school dropouts pretending to be happy Otherworlders is pretty funny, though.

Pandaemonium's appearance is the one that's kept closest to the original LN character artist's design, I think. The way nilitsu draws eyes is slightly off in a way that's rather fitting for a few of the characters, but her in particular.

I'm following the thread but keeping my idiot mouth shut because I've read the novels and don't want to accidentally spoil anything that hasn't come up in the anime yet. Love to see other people's speculation, though.
