My interpretation is that “let me in” represents Jun’s desire for intimacy, and Maya is defending against that intimacy and the attendant fear of being judged with a simulation fantasy. It’s really cool how this is represented so directly with her reinterpretation of the phrase, it really paints the picture so perfectly.
There’s also something really compelling about the clash of the mundane and the supernatural in such a way. It reminds me some of Your Book Review: Real Raw News.
I notice that because the main character believes in simulation theory, I am led to expect that this actually could be true for her universe, which is a cool way to get inside her mind.
I thought it was great- I could see it as a black mirror episode or similar.

That ambiguity was my intention! Though I do like the concept of the (metaphorical) death of the author.
