So, I had a random thought while falling asleep... What if our numbered versions of Maya (AmIOkay and youdidit) are the previous Mayas, that were reset? The only possible person who might've remembered them would be Akira, but he was hard-reset himself. Maybe it's all a cycle in more ways than we originally thought? It's not just the time/world, it's these two getting reset one after the other, after getting some amount of knowledge to bump the other one up.
Got nothing to support this tho, just a crackpot theory. Although, if we get a new numbered Maya next chapter, that would be interesting.
I do get the impression that AmIOkay Maya and Sensei share a past:
Especially in the 'How I Feel' Happy Event. She even claims to be from the same place as Sensei.
We also later see a Sensei in a similar predicament, in 'The Light of Last Summer' Chapter 2 Main Event:
Which HOPE calls Sensei's "Truest Self".
Then HOPE offers up AmIOkay Maya for a price:
And we've seen elsewhere that it's been implied that HOPE wanted our Maya:
as well as there being other Mayas offered up by Long Maya:
in the 'Second Sun' Happy Event.
So, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if there's been numerous Mayas over time, and Sensei and Maya have merely been trading places every few resets. It's not like False Memories are a new thing:
Our Maya could have just thought she's been through this for thousands of years.
It's not impossible that New Maya might think the same. Might be the first time a Sensei survived long enough to know that the memories aren't true though.
