It's tied to a few variables, you have to have seen Chinami bath scene with Chika, and choosen Tsukasa on the tutoring scene.

Just felt compelled to note that when it comes to Himawari, it's a little more than just looking like others:

Here's some rambling ideas about Makoto's "T Is For Time". I don't have a complete theory so I basically just started pointing out every connection that might be relevant, hopefully this can spark a discussion.

It's actually not bad at all, surprisingly. It actually plays out like an amateur intervention, with Chinami annoying the answers out of him. Chinami does piece together that Akira is a lolicon (that's good), but doesn't seem to care (that's bad). What's more interesting about the wizard event chain is the fact that Akira is actively having to face the worst parts of himself. Whether he actually grows past it or caves to it is definitely Suspenseful.

This is interesting to think on. Also, it seems to me that we tend to ignore that Akira might have an adult body but that he is operating at an emotional and experiential level even less developed than his students. When he resets it does far more than when the others are reset.

I don't know if Sel is being vague here but going off of this 35 characters 35 purity routes. So if had to estimate we're going to have 6 chapters with 35 purity routes which gives us the 41 mentioned above.

That's a lot of big thinks my dude... leaves a lot for me to ponder, but one thing that pretty quickly jumped out to me when you mentioned a future Kaori and then lead into a future Ami... if that sorta thing does occur then that might probably be part of the end game for the story, seeing the purified girls being sent by Ascended-Akira to specific points in the past to ensure the future outcome as the simulation or whatever begins to crumble... or maybe i've just watched too much scifi.

Unclear, but no need to restart no (as green path is supposed to unlock everything in one go). It's harem chapters -> dark chapter -> purity chapters -> true ending.
My take is that purity chapters are probably a cycle suited to each of the girls, with maybe Akira taking control over the simulation and doing them in sequence to give each of them their perfect life before going through with the true ending (him saying that some of the purity routes will re-use footage from the harem chapters supports this theory, as the cycle would begin again from where it usually started).
Edit: Thinking about it, it might be that at the end of each purity route that one girl will be "completed" = ascend, and maybe at the true end we'll be able to see everyone again because the simulation will have truly been finished.

Here's my current read on what pre-loop Akira was like. I'm filling in gaps so lot of this is speculation and it's a kinda rambly wall of text so feel free to ignore.

Overall it makes sense, and although the blackout being Maya's first time is a thing that could have happened, it doesn't fit really well with what we know about it:

FYI, the Makoto event requires that you've gone through the Touka sequence first. ETA: And the Touka event requires that you've played the Chinami events. FYI.

Ah, you're right. I forgot about this. I'm trying to make sense of that one screen that keeps popping up and something Noriko said. I'll have to think about it more.

Which one? Noriko insists someone (assumed to be Maya) did something to/with Akira in the Old District after he ghosted her, and she saw him from the bus. One theory is that Maya made out with him in public or something, in an effort to make him leave the old district for good - but that's a very steep shot in the dark at this point (this happens during her first conversation with Akira about the past, in which he starts to shut down).
The other time Noriko mentions something related to this is directly to Maya, but that's more about the fact that she had sex with him while being a kid, putting him on a road of no return, and that she knows that Maya also knows she ruined him by doing it. Which is totally true. There'd be no person not sympathetic to Akira if not for the Maya situation - up until that point he was 100% just a victim of a horrible person, and there is a strong hint that this act was in part pragmatism from Maya's end to cut him off from everyone else as well (New Maya jokes about calling the police if he doesn't have sex with her, and at some point this might have been actual blackmail - if he didn't leave Noriko/Niki/the Old District).

Well, there's the first time, and then there's the first time. As we've seen throughout the game, those two (love and sex) don't necessarily have anything to do with each other for Akira -- or for Maya, perhaps.

I can't find a specific quote. Just the general idea that Maya was an initiator and somewhat steering the relationship. The context of the wizard maya screen doesn't seem to be positive which is why I'm inclined to believe it's something she did to him rather than something as mild as just a confession.

Got a brainwave. Selebus might pull an Angel Beats type of situation where the girls are "released" one at a time until he is alone for the true ending. Disappearance would be in order of reverse emotional closeness.

Noriko does imply that Maya is the one who fucked Sensei up for good:

Mentioned it before:
But it does seem like within months of Sekai's death, Wizard Maya had Sensei wrapped around her finger, and Niki was out of the picture.
