Fair points, but I dare to say that the story works really well using the implied suicide as a baseline and giving us a solid starting point into Sensei's psyche.I'm in rough agreement with you overall, but it's precisely how the suicide relates to other overarching ideas/theories/possible out of Kumon-Mi that inspired my hesitation to readily accept it. It kinda pigeon holes certian less abstract questions or unclear developments into being a certain way to allow for a suicide start to not only make sense, but also be impactful / "good writing." Putting it another way, if the suicide start is ultimately what we're working with, coming to that revelation in text due to several other less major or less individually impactful smaller mysteries being solved/revealed in the text would almost work really well. Resolving the metaphysical state of the setting or any open ended idea from the bottom up instead of top down is always more impactful, allows for the themes and character implications to resonate more, and this idea of a suicide start being acknowledged before confirmafion for all the pieces would that make it work goes directly against that. Gives a a sort of trickle down effect for theory crafting / thematic signifigance, very unsatisfying.
