Toki is introduced to [[Nanashi]] and his party when Ring of Gaea members Mii and Kei summon them to where the remnants of [[Yuriko]]'s faction have sheltered themselves after splitting away from those that support [[Maitreya]]. She is tasked with leading the group in their infiltration mission into [[Tsukiji Konganji]] but in exchange for her services, she can kill [[Flynn]] and Maitreya on sight, the choice of the former upsetting members of Nanashi's party. But without other options, they are forced to take her with them. Upon successfully navigating through the underground treasury beneath the temple, Flynn is found, albeit crucified and imprisoned. With one of her targets in sight, she rushes forward to decapitate Flynn, only for [[Isabeau]] to parry her attack. She gets into a short scuffle with the rest of the party until the [[Divine Powers]] interupt the fight, with Maitreya knocking her unconscious. Once she recovers, she swears revenge against Nanashi then retreats using a smoke bomb to cover her escape. | |||
After the [[Tokugawa Mandala]] is activated, she is ordered to approach Nanashi and his party and offer herself as the solution to dealing with the domain. The group reluctantly accept her help once more, relying on her to seal the jars keeping the Tokugawa Mandala in effect. However, each time she goes to seal the jars, she experiences intense surges of emotion, wearing her down and eventually collapsing under stress by the last jar. The fading form of a goddess named [[Inanna]] manifests from the remaining Aether and attempts to possess Toki's unconscious body, but is destroyed by Nanashi and his party. She wakes up and thanks them for saving her, just as Maitreya shows up leading to a battle that ends in his defeat. She leaves the party again, although unsettles them with her noticeable change in demeanor. | |||
Toki then reappears before Nanashi and his party again, this time as they try to escape Tsukiji Konganji a second time with an injured Flynn in tow. As Mii and Kei order her to kill Flynn, Toki disobeys then announces she will part ways with the Ring of Gaea and fight at Nanashi's side, citing that the faction does not uphold its beliefs anymore. The Gaeans blocking the exit eventually disperse, letting Toki go on her own but not without insulting her worth due to her decision. Now free from her role as a Gaean hitman, she integrates herself into the party. She also begins to address Nanashi as her "master" and tries to get closer to him, much to the dismay of Asahi. | |||

However, after Armageddon occurs and the [[Cosmic Egg]] is born, Toki is possessed and transformed into a demon by Inanna past the entrance to the Cosmic Egg, revealing that the goddess had not been completely destroyed and was biding her time to take over Toki's body. Inanna twists Toki's feelings for Nanashi to serve as motivation for resurrecting and empowering deceased demons, starting with Maitreya's revival and subsequent transformation into [[Mitra-Buddha]]. When the party finds Inanna and engages her in battle, Toki takes control back momentarily, where she admits to being jealous of Asahi's closeness <!-- (i want to use the word "intimacy" here but i worry for misinterpretation due to how often intimacy is associated with sexual love, despite it also covering for non-sexual love) --> to Nanashi and wishes she could have been in Asahi's position experiencing those things instead. But she seemingly forgets making this confession and her calling Nanashi "master" once Inanna is defeated. | |||
<!-- (look into revising this; still unsure on how to interpret her whole deal with Mitra-Buddha) -->After defeating Mitra-Buddha and witnessing him cling to his strength, Toki realizes that the strength she desires is not one solely based on raw power, but rather to change and open up her heart. With this new resolve, she promises to stay by Nanashi's side, now without the underlying influence of Inanna affecting her outlook. | |||
