Maya started showing up to tutoring lessons way after Noriko. If she was with Akira before Sekai's death it would make no sense for her to show up later. In fact, given that she meets Akira after running away from home, it would mean she'd be living in the Arakawa family home, which wouldn't make sense either with her later moving to the tutoring place.Why are you convinced Maya and Akira didn't meet before the accident? That would be the simplest explanation by far. As I wrote before, I think there's more hints that they did meet than evidence that they didn't. Here's one more hint that I forgot to include in that post:

Also, if it's any daughter of Nozomu, why would a play date with Ami be at Akira's house rather than Nozomu's? Akira and Nozomu don't get along and it's not like he could be trying to hide it from Sekai when Akira sucks at keeping secrets from her.
- Noriko: Both of the Nakayamas' parents also have pink hair, and we have no other evidence for hair color changes. We also know (thanks to narrators) that their inner thoughts are consistent with them being real people who have always existed in this timeline.
- Sana and Rin: Their fathers were never in their lives, so they wouldn't have had any connection to Akira.
- Nodoka: I'm convinced that Nozomu can't be her father, but even if he was he probably wasn't part of her life. If Yuu is her father, she was born years after he left his family with Saki, so I don't know why she would know Akira.
Yeah, she had very good reason to be worried about Sensei's reaction. This is from shortly after the first reset:

It's especially understandable when you take into account her abandonment issues and how she feels that the Arakawas are the only family she has now. She's absolutely terrified that Sensei is so opposed to being a father that he'll leave her (also taking Ami) when she tells him.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

Edit: Your older post makes sense, but I'm not convinced by it. I mean, I'm not convinced by it without a supernatural interference that puts a Maya there. If that's the case then I'm onboard.
Basically I don't think having Maya in his life fits the Akira that was in a relationship with both Sekai and Niki. If that wasn't an 8 year old though, and instead was a conjured up narrator Maya, then I'm cool with it.
