All he would have to do for now is leave the state. But given the way things are going, he might want to have his eyes on an island home as a backup plan, just in case. Just make sure that island isn't Australia.

Thank you for all the explanation and detailing everything in an extraordinary way, I was able to understand the whole theory, and it makes a lot of sense. I wasn't very hopeful about Maya Prime's return, but with this theory I got much more excited! So, in short, Maya is trapped in heaven (classroom) with AImOkay. Do you have any idea how she could get out of there? Something related to the scarf of the alternative Maya Prime that Himawari took? Sorry for the thousand questions, I saw that you understand a lot about the story and I wanted to understand it too.

No one knows. Sel decides the rules. Maybe we break her out, maybe Akira earns her way out.
I think I figured out what feels off to me about chapter 4. The chapter feels like that one season of a show where an obscure Youtuber makes a 5-hour long video essay titled: "___'s newest season was filled with the highest highs and lowest lows."
On one hand, some of the best moments in the entire game happens in this chapter, recontextualizing all once thought to be true without making it feel like a retcon.
On the other hand, it really feels like the characters have been on autopilot most of the chapter. For example:
And in cases where a character does do something, it sort of feels rushed. For example:
It really feels like the chapter is building up to something big, but the characters aren't where they need to be emotionally and mentally for it, and there's a fuck ton of characters to write for so it has this weird feeling of simultaneously being long and rushed at the same time. If this all feels shoddily written, that's because it is. It's just an emotional spew as I work out why Chapter 4 feels so weird to me.

Since we know Himawari is going around collecting things and putting thing sin places to make events in the time loop happen I.E Maya's scarf. Does that mean Shota getting shanked is canon to the time loop? Also does that mean Himawari stabs Shota every reset? Also also does that mean the last thing Shota hears is "Business as usual Cheif"?
Yes, because otherwise Otoha wouldn't even be an option if she found Shota first.

I honestly think Shota's death prevented a Yaoi turn so sharp that it would've made Nozomou turn in his grave.
If by "a single scene" you mean 20 scenes and an entire character arc then yes!
As previously discussed the even greater issue is her full corruption being optional. How do you even write the game world going forward? Do Sara and Haruka just ghost you until the next reset?
Actually, does anyone know if you can still call Sara if you didn't do Nodokathon? Might be a pretty big clue as to how things well be handled going forward.
I mean, that doesn't actually change my point. I think there should be 21 scenes and an entire character arc. As for the other parts, I don't know what would change with the story if you don't undergo the Sana corruption arc. It's such a massive part of the narrative that thinking of an alternative feels kind of wrong in a way. Especially with how well its set up and carried through.
I just think her going as far as she did in Nodokathon is a bit rushed. There is a massive jump in mental degradation needed between fucking Akira and streaming her sex tape to her mom that an extra scene of her deteriorating innocence would have helped make a tighter chain of events.
I think you misunderstood my point. You need a lot more than 1 scene to get Sana to where she is now and the writing suffers a lot because of it.

Things about last update:
Paredolia lives... At least it seems like Yumi can handle it for now. Besides it seems it can't be (or doesn't want to be) near Io?
It's more evident in the green path but it's clear that Nodaka is desperate to find a way to "break" the world and either a fragment of the her that achieved it or Himawari (because I don't think was her mother) is preventing it.
So Sekai is the reason Wires returned after he fail to take out all the other gods with the reset. Well, that explains why he has to be more active now.
Back to Io and adding Uta... are they resistant to the supernatural? I don't think that hole is just the sinkhole the other school fell into, and I also think Io has been in a similar situation in other events, as has Uta. I feel like that both of them are the ones who best represent the argument that most things are in Akira's head.
Also Sana is a monster, but because I am on a red path she is a more self-controlled monster.

You can still call her or visit her in the bar if you didn't do Nodokathon. Per usual Selly practices though, path differences might be
AKA, green path Sara might somehow, after a heated confrontation, come to terms with Sensei fucking her daughter and be back onto speaking terms, merging the two paths together. It would be interesting if green path Sara stays indefinitely blocked, keeping the difference between green and red path until the next reset or the next phase even. It would very interesting if red path Sara later also finds out Sensei fucking Sana in a different context, leading to the same seemingly indefinite sarablock. Alas, neither of those things haven’t happened before.
