Will this be Clem's mental struggle?
Sometimes this season, Clem can say things where she would put complete guilt on herself for Lee. When she can say to Kenny "I got him killed" and to Luke "I was stupid. I ran away and Lee died because of it. Sometimes people die because of me." This could be some scary foreshadowing for the rest of the season. What if almost everyone dies and Clem can't help but blame herself for so and so's death. We could be given the choice to look out for people close to us more carefully or just not getting connected to people so they don't die. That would be an amazing subplot and a deeper study of Clementine's great character. Do you hope we get this decision?

So, if I understand correctly, if we get close to characters they die and if she stay unattached the live?
I doubt it works like that. If you look at it from someone else's perspective, such as Lee's, people die all the time. Friends, family, enemies. The only people that he knew who lived for a time were Christa, Omid and Clementine.
I can see why she blames herself but I think it's more just her inability to save them and how other people metaphorically took bullets in her name. Most notably Lee.
It's about your personal opinion on how you see things and play the game. You'r Clem can either feel guilty about Lee's death, or she can remember him as a true friend and caretaker that saved her life.
Only way to top the feels from last season would be to kill off everyone that's around Clem. Leaving her alone. It may sound mean but the story needs to escalate to another level of danger for season 3. Clem would learn a lot about survival trying to survive alone.
It would also be a good segue into the next season. It would give Clem an internal debate if she should group with anyone next season.
While she will most likely have blood on her hands by the end of the season, I don't think that her dialog is "foreshadowing" per-say. She is just reflecting upon a scenario and acting realistically in response to it. I usually choose these options because I feel like it adds to her character. Someone who takes full responsibility, or perhaps more than full responsibility for her actions. That's a very redeeming trait, in my opinion.
Saw documentary on youtube about s1 on telltale stated they didn't like how easy it was to play good guy hero so for S2 can see more decisions with both decisions being morally wrong so have to chose lesser of two evils from own perspective. I like characters like this like joel TLOU he was no hero in fact probably villain of whole game only way to survive a zombie apocalypse is without morals they won't save you. Anyway think going off point think this will be clem struggle but think be worse then this simply get connected or not i foresee gruesome scenes and decisions where character connection with take backseat to the gore and horror
