Oh dear, that mismatch of expressions does not bode well.

Pareidolia does seem to have a good motive to have caused the sinkhole, since he probably needed Akira to start recovering some memories of Sekai before her restoration was possible. On the other hand, I question whether he has the power to cause something like that. Especially since it happens right after Wires's reset, so Pareidolia shouldn't be in control of the Terminal. From what we've seen, the powers of the gods seem to be about affecting people mentally, with some limited ability to reset time, rather than large-scale physical changes.
Another possibility is that it was caused by the World Itself, which might have the power and seems to be at least partially in league with Pareidolia. But that probably only makes sense if the World Itself is distinct from Sekai.
I personally like the idea that the sinkhole was caused by Kumon-mi itself. The city is described as a living, evolving thing and it even "moves" (as Yasu says in Pareidolia's Halloween). It seems to have some underlying purpose to it that we still don't know, but it's likely connected to the resets and so might have something to do with fixing its broken inhabitants. Of course that still leaves the open question of why the sinkhole only happened in this cycle, for which I don't have an explanation.
AmIOkay isn't in the scene ("Good Boy") where Long Maya mentions the fourth. The three that are present are Long Maya, Moyo, and "Chair" (who has never said anything). So it's possible that AmIOkay is the fourth, though I think probably not. She's also not present when Long Maya talks about "children of the clockwork" so we don't know if that includes her.
I strongly suspect there are multiple versions of AmIOkay, given how differently she acts in different scenes (or even in the same events, like "The Room with Clocks"). There might just be two of them, as one version of her refers to "The other me. The better one." (I think in "How I Feel"), which could be a different AmIOkay or could just be the "real" Maya. Personally I'm a fan of the idea that each time Maya has been reset, the old consciousness lives on as a new version of AmIOkay. Maybe the longer they've been stuck wherever they are (the wishing well and/or the bottom of everything or something), the less human they become.
I think we can probably trust the "memories" that the Xoanon shows us in "Mother's Milk", since its role is to be an observer and cataloguer of true experiences. From those we know that Sekai definitely abused him and was the one who initiated it, but apparently also loved him in some sort of twisted way.
I agree the rest of what we know is unreliable. In particular, I think it's possible and maybe even likely that the Sekai in Akira's head is Pareidolia creating a fictional version of Sekai using some amount of the real one taken from Akira's memories. Pareidolia likes to pretend to be others (the other gods, a narrator) and it fits with his name: we/Akira perceive human features (e.g. Sekai) emerging from something inhuman (e.g. a god/user/voice or whatever).
I think I understand your perspective, but I don't think that I agree with it. I think the talk of a transaction is for Akira's benefit, trying to justify Io's irrational actions. Maybe there's an element of trying to convince herself as well, but I don't think she truly believes it. Instead she's acting out of learned helplessness, as a victim of repeated abuse who has resigned herself to her fate. She's decided that she's a tool to be used, and he's an abuser just like her mother and will eventually get what he wants, so she might as well give in and get it over with.
If this was really about a transaction, she wouldn't be choosing to make the offer at the very point where she is most disgusted by Akira and his "love". Prior to this event, she was excited about Uta having sex with Akira as her proxy. Now she'd rather keep him away from Uta. She views him as an animal acting only on instinct. She has to try to tell herself that "maybe he's not so bad" once he starts raping her (verbal consent or no, she clearly doesn't want it). And if she was really so concerned with keeping him in her life, she wouldn't be kicking him out and indefinitely ghosting him after it's over.
Edit: I don't think Io was talking about her father killing himself and her mother. The "maybe he's killed them both" seems like it's referring to God.

I honestly believed we'd never see Ayane's room in the mansion.
Also it never crossed my mind until Ami started trying to fuck the girls but man, I really wanna see Ami dom the girls. I wonder which girl is gonna be Ami's first and her chances. I'd say Nodoka might be the highest chance of accepting Ami's approach while Yasu is the least likely.
I'm thinking it's just Akira walking to them or something similar, it just seems so normalish, Imani just looks surprised that Akira's there while Chika is happy about it.

Honest question, those who follow a green path, may I ask why? A lot of you guys seem to dislike doing some of the choices for it, so I'm sort of confused why you guys push on.

gotta say miko suit rendering looks kinda weird around the arm from this angle, but she's cute as always.

Of all the things in this game I can't stand, what really turns my completionist stomach is missed events.

Because when I play something and I liked it, I always want to at least 100% it, that includes going red path after green path, any endings LiL has weather it is 100 endings or 2, 17 or 1 secret endings, anything, I'll get it all. Because if I don't then it's like eating a chicken leg but leaving the bones which is stupid, eat the bones too.

I'm also somewhat partial to the idea that Sekai might not actually be appearing in some scenes, but it's hard to tell for certain. We can be sure it's not all the time. She has too much influence and skin in the game otherwise. We're even shown that she "appears" before Akira and Ami at her grave to talk to Ami, but in that case neither can actually see or hear her (Although sensei might have noticed something strange? I can't quite remember.) Is this a different version, or just her loving Ami like a normal mother despite being kind of mental? I guess I'm saying I don't know how I'd differentiate in every case, and it might be ambiguous or non-concrete on purpose.
Pareidolia's name itself it very on-the-nose, though, unless it's to throw you off or just sound cool. So I think it lends credence to or plays into Akira's delusions. If you put on your tinfoil hat, you could probably even speculate that Pareidolia is literally 'an instance of pareidolia', and that every interaction with him and his appearance is simply 'made up' because it's Akira's mind interpreting something incorrectly or filling in information gaps (e.g. making up dialogue for him despite Pareidolia not actually "speaking," but communication/affecting him in a way he can't comprehend.) Or perhaps he doesn't even exist, and maybe someone else does, but Pareidolia is a stand in to explain the effects of that person's actions. Keep in mind that I'm not actually positing that as true, and I am a stupid ape. It's a fun thought, though.

Redline run = Rejecting Sara, Rejecting Haruka, Bad Homie, going straight to the Onsen sequence without doing Abyss, not farming lust and so missing most of the lust scenes, etc. Trying to miss as many events as possible just to see the alternate dialogue.

I'm not 100% sure about the "betray Rin" thing, I think that's referring to the outcome that comes as a result of you trading nudes with her in the recent event, but I didn't actually exchange the nudes, so I'm going off what others have said. I could be wrong. I uploaded a save right after the death ball event for someone else in an earlier post if you want to download it and see if it works for you.

Decided I'd reply to many posts at once, hope that is ok.
I probably visited Molly and Futaba ten times between events this update since I didn't want to go see any other girl we haven't reconnected with. Chika, Ayane, hell almost all of them I feel makes no sense to dorm visit right now.
That's what I think, Parry doesn't want a reset. I feel we will only get one this season, going into the next season when either working together or not, the other users force it.
Yes, I believe Sel has said he will eventually fix that.

Damn I may have a problem. Just finished a replay and keep telling myself: take a break, don't start over again right now, read something else.
I was thinking the Yasu events helped convince him to accept it. All the swim stuff.
I definitely want us to see what happens when she finds out he is banging so many other girls. Please Sel don't minimize this. And hell yeah she is adorable!Maya's so fucking adorable! And she actually put on her shrine outfit to seduce him !!I wonder if that's her plan to get her man back, I can totally see her doing that. That's a very Maya reaction as being his girlfriend for years and suddenly finding out there's like 20 girls trying to have sex with him.
I wonder though if that's her reaction to finding out he's cheating, or a reaction just to that possibility. Or just to Niki being near him tbh.
I cant remember the exact event, but she has been called that in chapter 4 at least once, if my memory is right.
Yeah I almost regret buying my Maya "Your Disgusting" shirt. Don't want to answer questions about it. I usually wear it under a sports jersey.

Pretty sure your saves are supposed to be backed up automatically. There's two save locations, not one.

The DRM wipes both, that's why there are warnings and we keep saying not to install the carepackages, just open the files on your desktop, don't add them to the game files.
