I wonder if losing your voice is in some way tied to the way Aizawa died. We know other ghosts can talk but Aizawa remains mysteriously mute even when she posses someone and Theia seems to connect whatever is causing Ange to lose her voice with whatever killed Aizawa.
I hadn't actually considered that connection between Aizawa and Ange but it's a great observation. I had wondered if this was some Little Mermaid deal and something made a spiritual bargain for Aizawa's voice. There seems to be a lot of missing/multiple eyes going around the spiritual world, so maybe voice theft is just another factor. Something to make note of, like how the new ghost has extra pairs of arms.Expanding upon this with some wild, completely baselessfanfictionspeculation. What if Aizawa and now Ange made some sort of supernatural deal with the new ghost that made their singing better but gradually stole their real voices. This would explain why the new ghost has Aizawa's voice. It would also explain Ange's mysterious symptoms that cause her coughing fits, stop her from singing and have been happening "all the time lately"
Or maybe Ange's thing is just symtoms of severe stress
It's very possible considering how often it's emphasized that ghost Aizawa is acting nothing like idol Aizawa. We don't know if that's just who she was in private, but it could be that she's somehow incomplete too.I had the thought that maybe the Michi's weird kid form split Aizawa into two? I mean it is implied that she was there when it happened at the festival but forgot right? one is normal Aizawa haunting the school that she talked a lot about and the other is the like the desires, ghost evilness, and has her voice; and its just haunting the studio where those desires of being an immortal idol could come true? That could explain why she isn't evil or disfigured like most of the other ghosts, and why the ghost haunting the studio is like super unrecognizable, also it kinda explains what the exorcist meant in the last chapter about someone already doing the work, but it also sounds kinda dumb.
Yeah I agree it's likely just Aizawa cut out of the frame, which is more sad than spooky and sets the tone for the chapter, but still a nice detail. I don't think there's anything significant to it being Ange's shoulder, or at least not that we can tell now.so, this could be a creepy/horror element about the new ghost. However, looking closely, I feel like the picture is incomplete, like there's something more to the left but it got cut off, y'know? So my guess is that the opening spread was originally a picture with all 4 members, but since this chapter focuses on the 3 living members, they cut Aizawa off.
The one at the beginning with Non in the dance studio has similar dark shading too. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be the same ghost, but if it is then Non is probably part of the haunting. Something I wondered is, if Aizawa is attracting ghosts, could they be also attracted to other parts of her life? That might explain why De:Lphinus has a few going around if they haven't done anything to invite it. But that full page ghost does make it seem like Theia/Ange/both have a ghost singling them out.Now that I put both images together, the way the figure is coming out in this panel reminds me of Sayaka's terrible drawing of Aizawa and Michi on that faithful night.

And yeah I thought Theia and Ange were older since vol2's extras called Non and Aizawa team high schoolers, but the age gaps are pretty big for idols. It makes for fun group dynamics. You really get the sense of them being adults looking out for Non, though maybe they should level with her some more.
