This piece might be an old news already: while reviewing Sensei's box carrying trips with Maya, I counted 4 times, and each is separated with a reset. I.e.,
Secrets Worth Keeping → 1st reset
→ Close Your Eyes → 2nd reset
→ What it Means to Be Destroyed → 3rd reset
→ Everlasting Mercy → 4th reset.
While still having zero idea about the content inside each box or the purpose of these trips are (my personal favorite theory I saw here is that it's just Maya bringing camping supplies lol), what I noticed is that this pattern has been broken; Maya did not visit the school again with her box at least on screen before the 5th reset hits. If she didn't do this trip during that autopiloting 2-month skip, this might imply that carrying her box to the school at night isn't an absolute requirement to survive a reset, either from the POV of Maya or Sensei.
Unlessssssss, the box this time was delivered to the school during yet another midnight by something else, and had impacted how the 5th reset ended.
Also, I noticed a few things after reading
Close Your Eyes again.
1) When delivering her quote "forcing people to do things they're not comfortable with is the best way to move them forward", what Sensei thought of is him kissing Yumi before before evading Maya's question. However, who is that someone Maya mentioned that would be very upset to hear Sensei say that?
If it's actually Yumi, does this mean that Maya knew about that rapey kiss? (explanation here can be that, Maya didn't see it, but Sensei forcing tongue actions on Yumi is so scripted that every iteration did the same thing, to a point it disturbingly becomes a common knowledge to her). If it's not Yumi she's referring to, then who? herself? Sekai? Who else applies?
2) Maya has her own untold reasons to avoid visiting Nozomu/Sekai graveyard with Ami or Sensei, and it is not because of emotional attachments (also from the event she said "visit with Sensei", which I thought is a little weird when "visit with Ami" sounds more logical since at this time point Sensei did not know he tutored Maya).
While from a player perspective it makes sense considering the information pieces we gathered that point out how creepy these two entities are both divine and creepy, plus how much Maya hates gods. But from Maya's perspective, having a reason like that would indicate that she knows at least one of her best friend's dead parents are some celestial beings, and might be responsible for her suffering in the cycles or in those cryptic happy scenes.
Maybe Maya is the product of that fateful accident (don't ask me how) who was spawned into being only after or because of their deaths, and visiting there would have irreversible effect on her existence.
Or, the reason can be entirely within the normal human understanding; maybe she just dislikes the idea of Sensei visiting Sekai's grave because she knows Sekai is his first love, and this is actually jealousy doing the talk because in a way you can never get a win from his dead ex-girlfriend.
