June 2019, which is your date of registration.
Please don't take it the wrong way, but you seem to have missed (besides lot's of other people), that we had this "discussion" already, and it ended up very heated. (I know because i was involved
, no bad blood though from pov)
It would have taken you a whole ten seconds of clicking on my profile or searching the thread to find out that I made my first post here in May 2024 when I played LiL for the first time. The only in-depth post on this topic since then is my own from October. It's asinine to expect new people to read through 40,000+ posts of old discussion.
So what you guys are saying is that Ami is daughter mk.1 (the one made through oldschool normal reproduction with a human female);
but then in an alternate timeline we have Maya - daughter mk.2 (the one made through virgin birth without a human female, but instead through good old fishing a fallen god out of the wishing well);
and then we have in yet another timeline Himawari - daughter mk.3 (the one made through good oldschool normal reproduction with a human female but with a twist of skipping all her childhood and hopping back as a shapeshifting teenager from the future)?
Ami (red hair) - Maya - Himawari = the exact same person. So at the end of the day there's really only one narrator, and no ntr cause they're also the same person
so at worst it's masturbation.
Himawari Amamiya
Himawari Amimaya
Himawari AmiMaya
Himawari Ami Maya
I rest my case.
More seriously, the key phrase was "used to be". The general idea is that Maya wasn't created from nothing or by pulling something random from the well, but by splitting off a part of the original version of Ami (or at least Ami's analogue from outside the simulation). Within the world of Terminal 23 they exist as completely separate people. Also, since I haven't referenced it in awhile, I'll remind you of the One True Theory:
Ami and Maya are two halves of USER4.
There's no reason to bring Himawari into this, after all she's the actual normal teenage girl (TM). And I'm not sure if you're serious with the skipping childhood thing, but she talks about her childhood in "Parallelogram" and "Irregular Heartbeat".
Oh, another minor thing, but who is the pink haired person in the upside down house?
I agree with DeSkel that the pink-haired girl is likely Ai Ariyoshi, who we know next to nothing about. I think she's also the pink-haired girl referenced in the waiting room in 0.45, and she might be the "unknown pink a" referenced in Mother's Milk (which I think is what
animexmangafan was trying to remember) - see my 8th point
here.
We do know one absolutely essential fact about Ai, though:
We also had Sel(?) post this:
Which seems to suggest those names (6 names, 6(?) stick figures), and the lore of the pink haired girl stuff are connected, and that she may be rather young. (Albeit, Miu in particular who has red hair doesn't seem to be there, which possibly debunks a connection)
The image also includes Yuko (lavender hair), who isn't on the special thanks list. It's just occurred to me that the tall figure is probably the mysterious "Setsuna", who is unusually tall according to the twitter:
In which case, maybe the figures are from left to right: Kyoko, Yuko, Ai, Setsuna, Shiori?
