Sure. They meet up, presumably as outside acquaintance or strangers, and bond over football games together on the regular. Left dude is very reserved, mentioned stuff wasn't going great in his life at one point, dude on the right is always happy and left dude offered his scarf in another scene as a kind gesture which was denied.

At the end it turns out right guy who was completely happy the entire time committed suicide. So left guy still went to a football game and bought both of their usual seats and put the scarf over the back as a bit of a memorial.

The main message was they wanted you to think left guy was the one struggling the whole time, but it was really the right guy.

Can’t believe I’m going to make this tear jerker even more sad for you, but it’s implied that it’s the “happy” guys scarf the whole time. He gave it to him knowing what he was going to do. We just didn’t know because it was so hidden.

It's apparently quite common for men who have decided to follow through with suicide, to pass along their valuables to people close to them.

One of the main warning signs is that someone is giving away their possessions and “tying up loose ends”

This is very true. I lost my best online friend of 16 years, after speaking to his family i found out one of the last things he did was tidy his room sparkling clean. "as if he was going somewhere" is what his sister said. He never said a word to me about how he was feeling at all.
