When she heard the word "Vanguard", her expression changes, and she tells Chrono that Chrono's father was a Vanguard fighter and that he disappeared 10 years ago due to Vanguard. She later met with Shin Nitta to talk about Chrono and Rive on how they are so similar and she was told to let Chrono do what he likes.

On Episode 50 in Stride Gate , she was talking to Rive Shindou (Chrono's Father) by phone, asking him if he's coming home, which he rejects, she later tells him to face Chrono in person as he asks her if Chrono said anything about him.
