Feel like a party pooper, but Maki dying instead probably wouldn’t result in Mai getting crazy buffed
Maki getting stronger was a special circumstance due to her HR, needing Mai to take the rest of her CE through their bond to complete it.
Maki has nothing to give other than that small source of CE and Mai does not possess a HR. Mai even says herself that twins don’t work right when it comes to sacrificing things in JJK.
It’s even been a main theme that Mai is the one stopping Maki from improving, not just due to her CE, but due to her not even wishing to become stronger herself.
Mai was holding Maki back, not the other way around.
