So...if Noriko was 3 or older in spotless mind, that would mean it took place when Akira was 19. Or older. Which is pretty bizarre since they both seemed like they were 12-14ish in that event.Echoing what aramaug said, there have been a lot of posts about this already. But in a few words: Noriko's age isn't a matter about a toddler being able to sneak in or not, but that the whole thing makes no sense.
In spotless mind she was old enough to be considered a kid, and Kyoto takes place after it. Even if we assume she was just born in spotless mind, it's already bordering on impossibility for her to be in the same class as Ami.
If we take what would be probable, both from her being classified as a kid, as she herself saying she imprinted on Akira when she was 3 - then the events of Spotless Mind would make her 3, she'd be at least 4 during kyoto, which would make her almost 5 years older than Ami.
Noriko would be a 20 year old, which would make her an actual Imani pretending to be a freshman in highschool.
Also, that would make Akira at a minimum 20 in Kyoto (which is also weird because he would be an adult and shouldn't be worrying about what people would think seeing him and Sekai together).
Also also, Nikki specifically said she was surprised Akria remembered the kiss since they "didn't get together until way later". Which means he probably didn't immediately jump to intimate-but-no-sex. Which means, for things to really make sense, Kyoto probably took place several years after Spotless mind.
