You've made a few assumptions here.
- Why do you think it's a murder and not a sacrifice? With the religious theming of the game that'd be more likely. There's only been one on screen murder and Ami did it, and only one girl who'd be ready to cut a bitch if Ami tried to pull anything (Chika). Right before the 6th reset Maya and Ayane saw Ami basically flayed on a elaborate rack. You don't do that for a simple murder.
- Do you think Maya is capable of hurting Ami in any way? Girl got tortured by Ami in 0.46 and two months later she's speaking to her fully knowing what Ami did and yet only trying to negotiate with her. Nodoka tried this once and got decked the next day, even with Yumi barely getting a taste of torture compared to what Ami did.
- Noriko's already forgiven Ami in the beach trip with Flowerchild
- You're the correct amount of foggy with Sensei's past. You might have just been given his name at this point and you're not that far off from being told that you seem to be the real Sensei instead of a skinwalker (You're also a bit of a manwhore at this point, actually plot relevant). You're close to being given a huge window into Sensei's past.
- Religion is super important to the game, but not everyone here understands everything. If you like the characters enough to do the next step, you can start paying attention to this thread once you've caught up to the latest update and spoilers aren't a problem anymore.
Go into settings and under Skip, turn off "Unseen Text" but turn on "After Choices", then press skip and let the game play itself until you reach text you haven't seen before. If you bothered to use the cheat menu, you probably missed a bunch of other choices and had a very red save file. The guide mod and autovn should make it obvious what choices you should make to see every scene in the game.
Once you're back to dialogue you've seen before, the skip button will be enabled again and just keep pressing it as needed. If you were using the cheat menu to skip affection grinding, just keep autoVN enabled. But if you want to see the side content you can disable autovn in the settings menu.

That might be a technicality. "That murder was a sacrifice" too?, maybe?
Not going into the whole "Snitches get stitches" thing?, hmmmmm ok.

Do i think Maya is capable of murdering Ami? Yes.
As of Noriko, it's unlikely, but not impossible.

I think it was a punishment from gods similar to Shota, who gets stabbed everytime he does something gods do not approve of, rather than a murder committed by known character.
So what did Ami do in chapter 3 to deserve it? I don't know.
Maybe whole punishment theory is wrong.

New theory: who's to say this isn't another shapeshifter? Tsubasa alludes to knowing other shapeshifters in the last update, after all. This Ami could have been replaced for all we know. Maybe each god has their own shapeshifter working for them. Maybe when Ayane and Ami talk at the end of the event they're BOTH shapeshifters. Maybe I need a new update to come out so I don't keep grasping at straws for theorycrafting.
Edited Touka -> Tsubasa because I'm an idiot

Yeahhhhhhhh. I would never be enough of a degenerate to recommend this game to my friends but if I did I would tell them it's almost unplayable without the guide mod. The actual "game" aspects of this game are poorly designed.

I had a theory a while back, that every reset, Ami gets replaced. Like there is this template Ami, which creates different Ami's who has a mission every loop. When she fails to complete she gets discarded.
Replaying through the game, i am convinced Ami knows about reset and loops, sensei's love for Ayane and Maya. (i made post about their facial expressions to the other girls and it's meanings. )In second reset, she ask help from sensei, about something.
Which made me think "yes she knows but not the mastermind, maybe another victim, who doesnt like what she does."

This belongs to “it makes sense if you don’t think about it”, though I must admit that I’d love a spontaneous combustion force field idea since that sounds positively hilarious.
You mean, building big ass walls 3 miles offshore in the sea at the bare minimum to section off a sizable coastal area and prevent civilians from entering/leaving their confine via a public beach (not even a port)? Yea…this also belongs to “it makes sense if you don’t think about it”.
The core idea of that is to paint a mental image with minimal efforts and thoughts
Since Sel himself said (in fanfest AMA iirc) that he didn’t really think about placing each Kumon-mi location on a map and constructing an actual map of his city, I didn’t think he had put enough thoughts into how this wall plot device would have to look like to survive even the most basic logic interrogations.

I mean it's not unplayable without it, or else nobody would have ever played lmao. But I do agree I'll probably start playing the game using the auto VN stuff going forward because I am actually sick of looking for the god damn events whenever he isn't doing some big chain update 5 times back to back.
Well, Yumi had to go an make me feel things even stronger for her at the end eh. Now I wait. It took long enough but I am now a subscriber to his work.

Will never happen until the game has a final update. It's too big to compress every month.
Though someone dedicated could do it twice a year I guess.

I never said it didn't, I was just saying it's possible there's something preventing anybody from leaving via the ocean too.
The whole concept of one entire random city being walled off because of a space war is already something that doesn't make sense lol

People are also forgetting we've seen where the street ends, the fact it has an end implies we aren't in regular japan anymore.

Which is precisely why this subject is ridiculous to either argue about or try to find concrete logic in, it's a macguffin, it's made for a purpose, it serves its purpose, end of discussion... i get that perfectly ordinary human curiosity wants to poke around in it but it's a complete waste of time, there are moments in the story itself where it's explicitly stated to not think about it and its solid advice... you won't find answers, cause there aren't any, you won't find a grounded explanation, because there isn't one... just ignore it.

Why are you so surely assume that Kumon-mi has anything outside the wall now?

There have been several moments where Akira and Nodoka have already left the barrier, which means that there really is still a world outside of it,

Doesn't make sense? Well there is something interesting to compare if you've paid close attention.
In Nothing Is Beautiful there is no space war at all. Yuu fabricated the existence of aliens to cope with fact that his mother died of cancer. He rewrote the past by his imagination.

However, in LiL where Yuu's world is nothing but Terminal 22 to them, the memory of Yuu we shared with treated aliens and space war as real event. Yuu even said he wanted to revenge for Saki's parents murderered by aliens while in NiB he literally told us Saki's parents were butchered by one of the neighbors, not aliens whatsoever. What's going on here? The make-believe of Yuu was realized in Terminal 23? If Yuu's world was Akira's home according to Nao, what's Akira's world to Yuu?
