Itomori Incident (2013)
At the beginning of the story, both she and Tessie tell Mitsuha that she was acting weird yesterday. Soon after she and Mitsuha continually voice their frustration at the lack of variety in their hometown, Itomori, only to be stopped by Tessie through bringing the two to a 'cafe' - comically, it is shown to actually be just a vending machine and a bench.

She and Tessie are shown to be watching Mitsuha while she performed the 'kuchikamizake' ritual.

They are then shown as part of the first fatalities from the comet fragments that landed on Itomori.

When Taki re-switches bodies with Mitsuha, she and Tessie become the only two who was convinced to help him save the town. After Tessie blows up the electric substation of Itomori, she pretends to be the normal Itomori speaker announcer and tells the multiple districts to evacuate, but quickly got caught. She is then shown at the front entrance of the High School, helplessly trying to elicit her stunned mother's help.

Epilogue (2021)
8 years after the comet, she and Tessie are shown to be in a cafe which Taki also ended up in. They talk about their upcoming wedding while heckling one another, but leave before Taki can place a name to them.
