Well if you must know Imposter345. Noriko and Kaori scale higher than the wizards in the booba department.

I like every random thing kaori says. It's either something funny or a foreshadowing piece, or both.
That's why she is the best girl.

that is correct only in the sense that she has Himawari in her belly for a period of time.
Could also be that the only girl is Sekai, and not even Akira exists.
If you think about it, Kaori is basically Nodoka if she was cool with living in a simulation. I mean it's not an exact parallel cause Nodoka has just her past selves, and Kaori has multiple gods - but you see my point.

But one use cups to summon? the gate, the other use a sunflower. Are these things important to open the gate? Otherwise miku would send millions of balls to terminal 22.
Question is why Maya needs the sunflower? Wouldn't himawari use that?

I'm sure that wasn't an actual Maya. I think it was Himawari all along

I don't know if it was Himawari, but it's very likely that it wasn't (our) Maya. Even if you just take into consideration the events as they were then, Maya Prime doesn't seem to recognize her "participation" in guiding Akira to the roof, which is when the scene takes place.
Noriko
Noriko is the epitome of reliability. Her unwavering dedication and work ethic make her a pillar of strength. She is the rock that others lean on in times of turmoil, showcasing an unyielding resolve to see things through to the end. This steadfastness is both her greatest strength and her most significant limitation. While her dependability is admirable, it also means she rarely steps out of her comfort zone, leading to predictable behavior that can sometimes be perceived as dull or uninspired. Noriko's character arcs often center around her ability to persevere, but this can come at the expense of personal growth and spontaneity.
Her interactions with other characters are usually marked by a sense of duty and responsibility. She is the one to pick up the pieces when things go wrong, always ready with a solution or a helping hand. However, this can make her seem more like a narrative device than a fully realized character. Her role is to support and stabilize, but this often leaves little room for her own emotional development. Noriko’s predictability can make her feel static, especially in a story teeming with dynamic characters who evolve and surprise the audience.Her steadiness is a double-edged sword; while it ensures she is always there when needed, it also means she seldom experiences the transformative arcs that make other characters more memorable. Noriko's strength lies in her ability to remain a constant, but this very trait can also make her fade into the background of more adventurous and unpredictable characters.
Kaori
Kaori captivates with her enigmatic charm. Her talent for humor is undeniable, and she often serves as an inspiration to those around her. Kaori's comedy is not just a skill but a defining aspect of her identity, making her stand out as a character of intelligence and wit. However, her focus on cock can sometimes create a barrier, distancing her from deeper emotional connections and making her seem somewhat aloof. Her struggles and triumphs in her journey are compelling, yet they can overshadow her personal growth, leaving her character feeling one-dimensional.
Kaori’s interactions with other characters are often marked by admiration and a sense of bafflement. She is the muse, the unattainable ideal that others aspire to emulate. This pedestal, while flattering, can also isolate her, making it difficult for her to connect on a more personal level. Her character is frequently defined by her naivety and the mystique surrounding it, which can overshadow other facets of her personality. The focus on her naivety, while engaging, often leaves little room for exploring her vulnerabilities and personal struggles outside it.
Despite these challenges, Kaori’s presence enriches the narrative. However, to truly resonate as best girl, Kaori would need to transcend her role as an enigmatic clown and reveal more of her inner self. Her wit is remarkable, but it is the exploration of her vulnerabilities and personal growth that could elevate her character to new heights.
Ayane
Ayane brings an electrifying energy to the narrative with her vibrant personality and boundless enthusiasm. She is the life of the party, injecting a sense of fun and excitement wherever she goes. Ayane’s impulsive nature and zest for life make her a captivating presence, but they can also lead to reckless behavior and unpredictable outcomes. Her character is marked by a dynamic spontaneity that keeps the audience on their toes, but this same trait can sometimes overshadow deeper emotional arcs and character development.
Her interactions are filled with charisma and a contagious energy that draws others in. Ayane's ability to light up a room is unmatched, making her a beloved character among her peers. However, her impulsiveness can also lead to complications and conflicts, highlighting a need for greater balance in her character. While her energetic nature is endearing, it can sometimes come across as overbearing, overshadowing moments of introspection and growth. Ayane’s charm is undeniable, but her journey often focuses more on her external actions than her internal evolution.
Despite these challenges, Ayane’s presence is essential for infusing the narrative with a sense of vitality and excitement. She brings a refreshing contrast to more serious characters, adding a layer of unpredictability that keeps the story engaging. To truly shine as best girl, Ayane would benefit from a deeper exploration of her inner world, revealing the complexities behind her vibrant exterior. Her chaotic charisma is a double-edged sword, providing both entertainment and an opportunity for profound character growth.
Ami: The Quintessential Best Girl
Ami stands out as the quintessential best girl, embodying a perfect blend of wit, charm, and emotional depth. Her intelligence and sense of humor make her a relatable and engaging character, while her vulnerability adds layers of complexity to her personality. Ami’s journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and growth, offering a rich tapestry of experiences that captivate and inspire. Unlike Noriko, Kaori, and Ayane, Ami's character is defined not just by her strengths but by her ability to navigate her shortcomings and transform them into sources of strength in the race to win Sensei's heart.
Her interactions with Akira are marked by genuine warmth and insight, making her a standout character in every scene. Ami challenges Akira and the audience, encouraging them to grow and evolve alongside her. Her ability to balance insanity and incest, humor and seriousness, makes her a well-rounded character whose impact lingers long after the story concludes. Ami's multifaceted personality ensures that she is not just a source of support or inspiration but a dynamic force that drives the narrative forward.
In conclusion, while Noriko, Kaori, and Ayane each bring unique elements to the table, Ami encapsulates the essence of a truly great character. Her ability to connect on multiple levels, coupled with her dynamic growth and emotional depth, makes her the definitive best girl. Ami’s journey is a testament to the power of nuanced character writing, proving that the best girl is more than just a title—it’s a testament to the profound impact a well-crafted character can have on a story.

Oh yeah I forgot Himawari, sorry Moonflare I'll make it quick tho: if Himawari is Ami then by transitivity, she is also best girl. If she is not Ami then by mutual exclusivity, Himawari cannot be best girl (because Ami is)

Alas! Looks like large language models have inserted their tendrils into the LiL thread at last.

Well, I guess that confirms that the real protagonist to LiL should be either Ami or another girl, given that Bloom into You is a yuri highschool drama. Prince Ami arc intensifies.

My take on these is very meta and again unassuming: while A House Near a Lake shows a clear effort in referencing or intentionally replicating a past event (from both Sensei's and viewers' perspectives), Everything is Connected on the other hand gives me the feeling of only for showing the viewers that Saki exists in the same universe: an excuse for lore dumping if you would. As in, the rest of the elements in Everything is Connected are pretty close to non-factors and cannot withstand interrogation.
For example, Nao demonstrates a clear understanding of both her action and her intention (i.e., what will happen if Sensei goes into the doll house, what is inside the doll house, why does she want Sensei to go in, etc). Sensei gets to challenge what Nao knows afterwards, and this consequently fortifies "how real/accountable" this encounter is. However, the same thing cannot be said for Maya or any other character's potential partaking in Everything is Connected. There is no rhyme or reason or aftermath of what's transpired. Sensei never asked and Maya never confided. The sole takeaway is "Now viewers know Saki exists in the same universe" (like from the looks of it I am not even sure if Sensei remembered the first time he went to terminal 22 at all)
I am also reluctant to think about the possibility Himawari's participation if the sole reason to go off is that sunflower next to Maya. There are so many sunflower placements in so many events that lack both any worthwhile meaning or any separate piece of evidence that can prove the connection of "this particular sunflower" to Himawari. It creates so much false positive if we were to scream "Ah! My shapeshifting daughter!" every time we see a sunflower.
tldr is that any resemblance you see in A House Near a Lake is not about functionality, but a deliberate setup to ring Sensei's bell. Meanwhile, how Everything is Connected is crafted has no sense in it at all.
Finally, my slight grilling at Selly is that how could A House Near a Lake doesn't have path deviation if Everything is Connected is skippable? Sloppy!
