The seed

Chekhov’s-empty-room install — Oda paratext-canonizes that a specific room aboard the Straw Hats’ ship was waiting for Kaya. The room’s bookish-and-clean aesthetic is Kaya-coded (Kaya as bookish-heiress per Kaya Sole Heir Will Hypnosis and the Ch. 87 cover-story Study, Study!! Kaya-as-future-doctor pre-load).
Designed-for-X-but-used-by-Y register — Nami inherits a room designed for someone else. Pre-loads a Kaya-aboard / Kaya-visit beat at some future arc.

Forward-possibilities:

Kaya-medical-school-graduate visit — after Kaya completes her medical training, she could visit the Straw Hats and stay in her room.
Kaya at the Reverie — if Kaya becomes a notable East-Blue figure, she could attend the Reverie.
Syrup-Village-return arc — the Straw Hats return to Syrup Village at some future point and Kaya boards for a brief stretch.

As of Ch. 95, the Chekhov’s-empty-room register is installed and pending.
