Someone were saying Makoto in "T is for Time, Threes and trees" was talking out of character.
Now i'm thinking about it. And playing CH4 "Hunger games" Makoto is trying to steer away Ayane from bringing Maya Prime back. While she has rational arguments for why she thinks like that. But she compares it all to a game and she primed Ayane to conquer the hearth of Akira.
And narration makes Makoto is just a liberated Makoto instead of some shapeshifter. So i'm not sure of that.
On the other hand, reading comments about end of chapter 3 Moonflare and aramaug think that Himawari has a hand in resetting Maya Prime. and adding that Himawari took the scarf from Ayane, which was given by other Maya for new Maya it wouldn't far fetched that Himawari saw that without getting rid of Maya Prime she will never born. So she messes up something to start the whole game.
But in update 0.48 we saw that Himawari try to get information about Akira (for his connections to hope and Yasu) from Tsubasa, and she fails. This is important because first She is not omniscient, she has limited information to move around and do stuff and second she can be manipulated by Tsubasa. Which will make her mess bigger and probably cause the base for dark route.
