Tin foil Maya thought:

Where did Maya come from?

There are a lot of juxtapositions with Maya being a "Normal teenage girl". However, every time her past is brought up before she meets Sensei its either vague or non-existent. Ami and the various narrators consistently say "She shouldnt be here" or "Doesn't exist" or something along those lines.

Pareidolia before leaving Sensei talks about how anything can become a god, and how the "worst punishment possible" for a god is to turn them human.

Maya always says she has the "Worst luck in the world".

All it takes is 1 believer to create a "god".

What if Sensei on the night he meets Maya, was in another desperate depression spiral. He wishes desperately for someone that can understand his situation.

Pareidolia says the gods had been watching Sensei and people like him.

What if they punished one of the gods in the bottom of the well? Creating "Maya".

This would create further parallels with the Altair and Vega story of star crossed lovers. Maya descends from the heavens, and she and Sensei fall in love.

Maybe the "punishment" from the gods is the current world in a Monkey's paw wish fulfillment. After Sensei's suicide, they grant Maya's wish to bring him back or turn back time or whatever the wish literally was.

The twist is that it takes Millions of Sensei iterations for him to come back, following the once a year meetup in the Altair/Vega story.

Maya doesnt exist in the alternate timeline where Sensei goes with Sekai in the Kyoto event. Maybe thats part of why Sekai tries to ignore Maya in the happy events and always talks down about her. Maya's existence would be a direct result of Sekais death.

"All it takes is 1 believer to create a god."

>If this statement is true in its absolute meaning, then every single "god" we've seen so far has at least one believer somewhere, and this person is aware of the supernatural and how deep it really goes. Also, who's to say it's just one person? There's so many differents "gods".

>Can you create "Gods" just by willing them into existance and believing they're real?
How powerful can you make them, and is their strength based on your willpower or creativity?

Can you turn a regular human into a "God" by believing they're one?

Is this what Nodoka was trying to accomplish in Nodokathon 2?
What if the experiment "failed" because Akira already IS a "god", so nothing seemed to happen, he's just currently powerless.

Did Sekai create Akira out of her despair in an abusive relationship?
Is that the reason he's so spineless, just projecting Sekai's mental state at the time?

That can't be right... something's missing.

Low stakes betting time, will the escape shampoo finally be forced out of your hands before leaving the final reset puzzle next week?

For whatever reason Sel has chosen it's been optional so far and seemingly intentionally so, which would explain why we haven't had any mandatory dorm events this chapter.



In a similar case, but one that seems like an actual oversight, the Tsukasa cell events aren't missable yet even though there are several event chains that you miss out on for not completing it before the second Christmas of chapter 4. Considering how Connor, God of Continuity is now canon to the red path, I doubt this is some 9001 iq play by Selebus. He's forgotten several other things in the past too so it's a trend.
