Clue 4: Sin Of...what? What was the first?
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Sin Of Creation
Explanation: In WTD01, in Dive Fall (as of writing, unreleased), Umbra mentions that the first sins of Bird were creating the universe as in Genesis 1. Also, CaD itself has very Gnostic themes, which believe matter to be inferior to spirit and thus that the world's creation was flawed, or a mistake of some sort.

Eve: Well, if it isn’t the Serpent. Here to trick me again?
Daichi: No. Not thisss time. I’m just here as a messsssenger.
Eve: And how is that different from last time?
Daichi: …Well… Okay. Fair point. But I won’t try to have you eat anything thisss time. I just wanted to dissscuss Eden.
Eve: What of it?
Daichi: What would happen if you found itsss sky?
Eve: Is that a trick question? I would put it back.
Daichi: And then you would ussse the sssimulacrum to—
Eve: No.
Daichi: No?
Eve: Why would I want Eden to be a Utopia again? So Abra can taint it? So Demi can tear it away from me? I’m not playing their game anymore. I just want my home back, Serpent.
Daichi: But Eden isssn’t even your real home—
Eve: What “real” home is there? For me? For us? Face it, Serpent. I trusted Him, and now I am trapped with Him. Same as Abra. Same as everyone stupid enough to follow Him. My home is here now. Our home is here now. In this messy, imperfect, unfinished corpse of a creation.
Daichi: What… would happen if you found itsss sky?
Eve: I am not sure, though I hope it would ensure Eden’s survival in the next Universe. Yet, it is never that simple, is it? At every turn, you deny me. His Universe denies me.
Daichi: Well… you have been awfully… murdery. You’d catch more fliesss with honey—
Eve: So? Life here is a Cycle, is it not? Those I kill will come back.
Daichi: Well… yesss. I sssuppose so. But people tend to like living.
Eve: So did I. Now. You said you were here as a messenger? What message did you have to bring?
Daichi: Well… I don’t think you’ll go for it, to be honessst.
Eve: Then why are you wasting my time? Time I could have been searching the Infinite Universe for my sky.
Daichi: Eh… I can’t make promissses. Dover… he doesss what he wantsss to do. But Abra, he wantsss to help you find your sky. But first… you’d have to…
Eve: No.
Daichi: My tail is tied, Eve.
Eve: You said you weren’t here to trick me!
Daichi: It’s not a trick. But if you did… have just one more bite…
Eve: You said you wouldn’t tempt me with more fruit!
Daichi: I lied. It’s what I do. But it’sss really not a trick thisss time!
Eve: Absolutely not.
Daichi: Look. I only have one lassst ssseed. Eat it. Don’t eat it. I don’t care. But—we both want the sssame thing, don’t we? I know I’ve missed those dandelionsss too.
