[Discussion] Liar, Liar - Episode 2

I'm glad the first 2 episodes drop on today, because episode 1 piqued my interest but didn't fully grab me. I've been seeing a lot of comparisons to NGNL, COTE, and Kakegurui which I think are quite fair, but the MC still seems different enough to not be a copy and paste job

So is the childhood friend the heterochromia girl?
