Well, I think it's too early to say when exactly this is taking place, but we know that there exist two scenarios. One is the time-gated narrative we're playing in the game. It was adapted so that players who haven't finished Arc 1 can join. The other is the novel version to be released later this month. That one is set post-Chapter III, Arc 2.

In addition to that, of course, we have the double-layered narrative that is the film and the making of the film. There, Murasaki simply collapsed (not dead) outside the film, while she is treated as murdered (dead) inside the film.
