Was he shooting? Wouldn't the bullet have fired away from his position, in that case, instead of being found in the same circle where he fell?
[ and yet, the casings were also right around that point. between the killer hunting down a single bullet that had gone into the distance somewhere just to drop it in the dirt inside the imprint, or the killer themselves having gotten their hands on the gun somehow in the scuffle and firing towards hikage at close range...
well, in the end, neither of them got hit, apparently. not that they can tell. no exit wound, and dick apparently didn't find any bullet, even fragmented, after fishing around in hikage's gut, so. and dick should know what the tissue damage and potential cavitation resulting from a gunshot looks like, so.
Yes, but the plushies were explained to only allow someone to float up to a few feet off the ground... Unless you have reason to believe someone was lying about that. I believe someone else also floated a theory about slowing a fall, but...
Even if you assume the killer was waiting on the roof to ambush Hikage, a fall from that height shouldn't strictly require the usage of something that could potentially give them away.
[ unless they're terrible at athletics, which begs the question of why they were on the roof in the first place and how they climbed up to both that and the glowstick tree. ]
... It feels like a lot of this hinges on making sense of evidence that doesn't.

Hikage must have fought back at some point, I'd think. Considering he was shooting... then the rock was made to alter the wound.
... Can't really explain the glowstick, personally. Don't see how it's relevant.
The imprints might be ability related. That's all I can think of.

mystery of the missing bullet. hm. ]

[ clearly it's still in the killer. but no, it really is peculiar. ]
Maybe he aimed up... which is why the bullets ended up in the same spot. There was a theory about the killer descending, no?
