It does probably fit that before he gets taken to the storage shed its Himawari/shapeshifter impersonating Maya. And that's why weird Ami calls her a dream baby and why "Maya" says "You've had your hand held through everything. I wonder who it is that's been holding it?" So it could be Himawari as well when hope says he does not recognise her.
Edit: I think I missreaed what you posted. If she said that on the roof then I'm not sure anymore. Unless it flashes static or something after she said it?

Ill have to replay it at some point. Does he remember what happened when he gets back and ask Maya but she does not know what he is talking about? Because that would strongly support that it was probably Himawari impersonating Maya. Or does he Just forget it?

She might also be impersonating Yasu as well if that's same event that I'm thinking of.

Definitely not impersonating Yasu, because Yasu snaps back at the end and doesn't know what's going on. But Himawari could be by his side, and only Yasu was seeing her.

I just watched the tick tock happy event, and I have so many questions that I guess I should formulate some more and at least finish the part of game until Sekai comes back in order to understand. But if you guys want to get your minds fucked with me as of right now, here comes the gist of it:

There is no real theory here, it's just a lot that happened in that event and those are the highlights (of which I remembered nothing from my first playthrough). Eventually I hope to be able to make sense out of some of them with later info and put a proper narrative of how this helps.

But she already took interest in chika long before she had any chance to do any research who she is. And then the richest guy in town, i mean we are talking about comically rich, did father not just one child with a women from the poor side of down, but even two? And all that while he was already married with tsubasa and made two kids there too?

I can believe the coincidence that chika and chinami are around the same age as tako and tsukasa. But i cant believe the coincidence that a rich guy did sneak away from his rich family long enough to breed a poor woman twice around the same time.

It's not like i want to hammer any info we have into that theory.
But it's also a trope. The rich people getting bored of their relationship and seeking an affair.
And i might be wrong here but i think i read Tsubasa complaining rather recently, how her husband didn't lay a hand on her for some time now.

There's also how afaik Sel said Akira gets to lay every girl in the cast, which would include Tsubasa too.
Could see that as an excuse for her like: If my husband doesn't do me, Akira surely will.

According to Collins Dictionary, a “Starchild” is defined as the following:

1. A divine being who incarnated from the stars, another planet or higher dimension.
2. A human with a human & extraterrestrial (ET) parent or recent ET ancestry.
…and is upon the Earth, on a divine mission to advance humanity.

…Now of course obviously I believe Nao-chan fits more with the first definition than the second. She certainly seems divine in nature (murdered the Plant Council in “What’s In The Pot?” with nothing but a mere thought, not to mention the references to Nao as a higher being) and very well could have been incarnated from the stars. After all, she appeared out of seemingly nowhere, with the only thing to go off of being a weird mysterious treasure map in Kaori’s possession set up by USER2 (Wire God).

As far as Himawari is concerned, I too would like to know the answer to that. She helped Akira pick out the green scarf in Chika’s store in Chapter 1 after all, appears in “The Room With Clocks” Happy Event, and even in the “Scientific Research” Chapter 1 Main Event if you have over 2,000 Ayane affection. All before Ayane gets pregnant in the actual story.

…Then again, I guess ‘time’ more or less means nothing in this game.

In my language the literal translation of Starchild, "Sternenkind" has a different and sad meaning.

A baby that didn't make it. Either during pregnancy or shortly after.

And we know at least one girl that would fit the term: Himawari.

I know that Sel does know a bit of german, part of his ancestors might even be german.
There's also the state he lives in, which had a lot of german settlers and i wouldn't be surprised if it's taught in schools there.

On the opposite i rather think the star is a symbol for a wish, why the spermatozoa are there i don't know.
Maybe it's a connection of both?

Another thing is that this reminds me of one ending for Silent Hill 2, which is named "Born From a Wish".
And Kumon'mi and Silent Hill do have some things in common.

Yea I am most likely miss remembering things so am probably wrong about Yasu in that event. I replayed "Everything is Connected". The Maya that shows up and takes Akira to the storage shed does seem like she might be Himawari/shapeshifter though. Because it sounds like she is trying too hard to say all the things Maya says and there is a conspicuous sunflower there.

But then I have no idea why Maya on the roof would say "You've had your hand held through everything. I wonder who it is that's been holding it?".

Regarding the "tick tock tick tock tick tock" event. This one gets too confusing for me. There is not much I can say about it other than halfway through the background voice says a bunch of words that spell out "again she lives" probably referring to Sekai. So maybe in this one its Sekai in the place of "am i okay". Then the death that Akira knows might be something to do with memories about Sekai's death rather than his own death.

The only other thing that I can think of is when he is seeing himself fuck "am i okay" it might be something to do with memories of Nozomu(hope) fucking Sekai. Which does come up again later, where it says something about him hearing them fuck through the walls and he does not like it so he turns up the tv on a dead channel and listens to the static. That's also probably why there is static eyes sometimes and the angles say -sssssssssssssssssss & -kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk which is the static sound.

Then again, as I said, this one feels too confusing for me, so it could easily be something else. Plus I have no Idea what the skin thing is about and that comes up later as well.

Now that i think about it, did we already got the dialogue for tiamat's mother? You know, when chika would ask her about it.

She is familiar with Sekai poetry, so it might be the moment when she understood that they are related

Didnt we learn from Wakana that there was a boy mentioned in her poems. But that she just assumes this might be akira? I am pretty sure about that one.

It is safe to assume, that Nodoka knows more then Wakana. Especially when we speak about The Girl Who Cannot Breath, who fits Nodoka's tastes much better then Wakana's

Also, Wakana's research started on the beach when she saw simmilarities between Ami and The Girl Who Cannot Breath. On the other hand, for Nodoka it already was the last piece of puzzle, and her reaction was (for me) "lol, if Ami is Sensei's nice, she should have been related to Sekai too"

Hey DeSkel15, can you provide the best shots of the old one when it's made up of Ami's? I'm wanting to see just how closely it matches the Nao drawing version.
