From what I remember, the person who said that phrase was Himawari transformed into Maya. So much so that the place where she takes Akira is the same place that Himawari appeared several times, which is that tree and according to Futaba's words, that tree is outside the barrier.
I was wondering about that. My guess is that Maya was an anomaly. She was supposed to be reset along with everyone but for some reason it failed, making it so only Maya was left instead of Sensei. (I think what happened was Sensei gave Maya his ability to reset the world after sakai's death.) When this happened it put him on auto pilot and made him live those years without gaining memory(making him "loose" what he did). My guess is that auto pilot disengaged for a couple years due to a malfunction. At this time it sent Pareidolia away from Sensei in the winter, meaning that he was unable to communicate with sensei. Auto pilot then re-engaged and once it was summer again a couple (non loop)years later when Sensei was sleeping it disengaged once more due to Ami(seeing as she has the power to do this). On Maya's side of things she found Pareidolia who helped her come up with a plan. The other two gods so far ended up breaking Sensei which she no longer trusted. Pareidolias plan was surefire but came with a consequence- Maya would never be able to love Sensei again. He told her if she ever mentioned love to sensei without Pareidolia re entering sensei, then he would not be able to protect the ones she loves. Maya then over the thousands of resets that she went through not being able to get auto pilot off but gaining enough distance from Sensei while showing Ami to be a friend, was able to let Ami let her guard down and turn auto pilot off. Once that happend she waited and waited until she was sure Pareidolia was able to get to Sensei(which was the fifth reset.) Ami found out however and played dumb making Maya let her guard down enough. Ami knew that Pareidolia would get Sensei off of auto pilot if sensei had the will to live. Ami then found out that sensei loved Maya and really put two and two together. During the holloween party she or whatever god she was talking to artificially started a reset which is why Maya was unable to detect it. She hated the gods but trusted Pareidolia even if his methods were evil. She talked to Pareidolia one last time before getting ready to be reset. They had sex and then Pareidolia mocked her for not realizing that Ami found out. Until v0.37 which we have no idea on what's gonna happen so my prediction is that Pareidolia will wait until Ami goes to get out and a)take control of Sensei to get him out or b) he will wake sensei up by either scolding him awake or tell him that he has a new mission of sorts which is to get Maya prime back telling him that the chances are near impossible but not entirely impossible. I think option a is more likely due to this being the saddest chapter but in not the next reset but the one after or the one after that he will find Maya. The next reset would be the perfect place for Sensei to fully get his will back, while giving Pareidolia his main spotlight as well.
Eh, based off how Pareidolia has acted in Chapter 4 so far, I wouldn't consider it the least Callous. Calling Maya Prime a bitch:
Now that you brought up the subject, Pareidolia in the short time he appeared showed himself to be quite insensitive towards Akira and Maya while Hope, even though he was disappointed with Akira, he didn't punish him, Hope just abandoned him and didn't punish him. And there's another thing, Hope was even preparing Sana for Akira so he could take what doesn't belong to him and help Akira.

How many things could we have thought were Hoper speaking insensitively and were actually Paredolia? so much so that Paredolia revealed that he can keep changing the dialogues and the ways he speaks, so there is a high chance that we are being deceived as to which god has his titles and which one is really on Akira's side.
And another thing is that Yasu always mentions that Hopper wants to help Akira and even in the scene that shows that Hopper is getting stressed with Akira he doesn't do anything to punish him, Hopper always had a chance to punish Akira for not do what he asks and still didn't do anything.
And another one on Halloween who controlled Akira to abuse Molly and controlled him to force Yumi was Wire/USER 2 since it was in his city and doing this resulted in even more trauma for Akira and seeing that it wasn't Hopper who did it This is very strange since from "his" dialogues he is the one who would have the courage to do this and from what I remember it could be wrong but I think that Hopper spo controlled Akira only once.
So if Hopper is really on Akira's side it will be a good plot twist and if so I apologize for the thousands of swear words I hurled at Hopper.
Thanks DesKel, you gave me something to review the events of the game and a very important theory to think about
Personally I think it's Pareidolia getting his stress out, seeing as he had to apparently wait much much much longer then Maya. Tbh if I was waiting for trillions of "years or resets" and I heard someone complaining about a measly 20 thousand or so id also be kinda snappy with them. He literally got to us only to find out that we are broken. Also, he gave us actual time to grieve rather than just saying "boom" and healing you. I think that they all can do certain things at certain times. I'm not saying that Pareidolia will be good but I don't think he is the callous one either.
A tip, be like me, don't trust these gods at all and wish them dead every day because then you won't have the chance to regret trusting them
My bet's on generics. They were posted the same day the completed generics count on the v0.37 progress tracker went from 28 to 37.
Pareidolia seems to be the one that broke Sensei in the first place, and plans on him becoming the Collector afterwards:
I think that paredolia is like a weak god but he uses intelligence to his advantage to overcome this so much so that when he removed Maya from Akira he said that if he wanted Maya back he would have to follow him thus having control over Akira.
This would all fit with Pareidolia/Concerned being "a voice in his head" if this analogy applies to the Trinity
*Confirmed that Akira is an artificial intelligence with problems*
If this is the end of the game I can die peacefully and happily
It would be wonderful if in this image she was saying "I love you Akira" If this were the last image of the game I would die in peace without worrying about anything else in the world.
The more I hear about this, the more I think that Sel will make her into some manipulative villain in the end, just to fuck with us and make us look like idiots for falling for her tricks and laugh at us for not noticing that those boxes that we helped her carry was full of evil mustaches she had to shave off to keep the good facade.
i think he's a bitch
