"god" should not always be taken literally.Talking about Ami's mother of course, but the way 'her' is used here means that the sentence could be implying that Ami's mother, Sekai, 'the world' is also aGodgod. Which... I don't see what else she could be after having been teased so much.
'God is dead but also alive' has been said outright before.
What is a god, but the entity upon which we have build our world. The judeo-christian belief structure reserves this notion exclusively to the creator archetype, but metaphorically (and this game is HEAVY on metaphors), a god could be a lover, a parent, or an idol.
Sekai -- "world" could be a term of endearment. We most often see it used to refer to Ami's mother, but there are a couple of rare moments where Sensei is addressed by the name. I don't think it's an actual name at all, I think it was Sensei's and Ami's Mother's pet name for one another.
Ami's mother was Sensei's world -- his god.
But Maya's god? Well, that's Sensei. She built this whole world around him. The god who fucked everything into being then died, but isn't dead. Maya specifically says that every iteration of Sensei has wound up sleeping around. If you're seeing all the content in the game, this version of Sensei is ESPECIALLY sleeping around. But then he died without dying -- which is what watching the one person you care about die feels like. Sensei is Nozomu. Maya's desire.
As for the letter T -- whose names starts with T? Tsuneyo, and her father. Shit gets wierd whenever Sensei gets near the room her father is kept in. I suspect all the letter T references are tied to that room.
