I read the lyrics and I got much more of a feeling that this was about Aneki. It feels like Ayu may have been considering suicide in the past - and I don't think that's out of left field; I think songs like POWDER SNOW, NEVER EVER, Secret, and a few others sort of hint at suicidal thoughts too - but having resolved not to do it, she sees Aneki's suicide as a betrayal.

Grief over something like suicide is a very, very complicated thing though and I could be completely wrong, of course. But that's the impression I got.
Wow, it's so poignant but making sense a lot..
