I disagree with this idea of yours.Well, first of all, there's nothing "accidental" about it because it's very deliberate. He wants to put the fear of God into her, literally, and was probably thinking that by surprising her like this, he'd be doing just that, whether she was alone or not. By doing this, he would want her to know that he can show up at any time to check up on her and that she'll never be free of him. If he leaves before she gets back, it means he still has that element of surprise and can do it again at any time.
Him not being there when they get back would gives this something of a thriller element, the kind of thing you see in movies and TV shows of the thriller genre; the murderer/stalker/bad guy enters the protagonist's home when they're out and they don't find out until later, but the audience knows and it builds the tension with the audience because they know this. It's also quite a similar thing to AL when Meghan says she's missing her shoes and we later find out that Leah not only had them but was in the room at the time. This is more blatant because we're seeing her Dad in the room, but it's a similar vibe.
It could be what it appears to be, that Maya's going to have a confrontation with her Dad when she gets back, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that as it could end up being a near-miss moment.
if Maya found him in her room without a reason (and in the middle of the night there is no reason for him to visit) her father would have to be "terrified", even more so if there was a female roommate in the room that she wasn't Josy.
it would be a stupid and useless move, except if the father already knows the situation, he already knows that Josy is assigned to that room, and it is information that he could have obtained in the same way as he obtained the key.
in that case he could also come back later, but what reason would he have to do so?
twists make sense if quick, not for an event 3 months earlier, the famous bated breath is good that gone
when Josy arrived in BR they opened the door immediately, not in the next chapter, and the mechanism of the assumptions would have been the same.
in this case it would be as if besides referring to the later chapter, when Maya had opened the door she had found ..... nobody
