I guess the 13-year-old Veronica had told the caller that this friend Lily that's being mentioned in the comments made the suicidal statements.
01:12
Then Veronica said that she couldn't live without Lily.
01:15
So since Veronica hasn't answered in eight minutes, the caller thinks Veronica has also hurt herself.

I'm clear. Thank you.
