I also don't want to confirm or deny any speculation, but, for me, she is the best thing about Kiva. As much as the narrative involving Yuri and Megumi really had an impact on me, as much as I deeply care about this storyline of the distance and circumstance between them, I cherish every scene Maya is in because she represents that archetype of the wild woman, the woman who has gone so far the limits of her constraints that she is almost oblique to us as we look towards her; she is Medea, she is Lilith, she is Yodonna, and just... every moment she is on screen keeps me setting fire to Inoue's house.
