Her past is still there, tangled up in the middle of all the happpy events, and in many of those happy events the most repeated character is Maya in a lot of ways proving that even today she is the most relevant character from her past.
I consider that without a doubt of all the ''Akiras'' in all the chapters this one is still the best.
After all, we're talking about a character, who; one, has traumas inflicted by Saki
traumas inflicted by Sekai, possibly by his brother Nozomu/Hope as well.
trauma inflicted by the car accident.
Being rendered totally useless and taken care of by Ami, and then carrying the burden of never being able to take good care of her.
Possibly inheriting all the craziness and weirdness that his father Yuu had.
The beginning that is possibly his past of suicide.
Her eyes which are basically an advanced suicidal state like Makoto post bluejay.
And then Akira/Maya are intertwined in an infinite cosmic reset, with Divine/Cursed intervention, maybe losing this Maya at the end could be the optimal step, even though she could have done thousands of resets, she could never find her way out of it.
The key point will be the next reset, Akira needs to use everything that has happened to find a turning point, supposedly this is the saddest chapter/ he is the collector, the same pareidollia among his possible traps has indicated him that on that path he will never see his ''Maya again'' , so it remains to be seen what he is heading for there.
But if you think about how many things are going to be from now on to finish the whole ''Harem Route'', it's going to be a lot of things in blackout or against his will, unless some resolution happens, because with the last thing that has happened with Karin, it has been shown that Akira doesn't want to do those things, even if he wants to change and move away, from that, the world/Gods/his trauma explodes towards him.
It also leads me to wonder how much control or sanity Akira has in the Dark Route, or if even there it's the perfect opportunity to fight something and be worthy of something in the Purity route, but there's not much information on that.
