With Sakuta's help, she successfully overcomes her Puberty Syndrome and resumes her acting career. She took a break for a year after enrolling in university, and is now a first-year student alongside her boyfriend Sakuta.

Because she has a calm, collected personality and a wealth of knowledge, Sakuta often approaches her for advice on puberty syndrome. She has previously made self-harming posts on social media because she was suffering from immense loneliness and has experienced puberty syndrome, where two contradicting sides of her existed at the same time.

She currently attends the same university as Sakuta and Mai as a student in the International Liberal Arts department.

After Kaede's memories returned, she took the high school entrance exams and is currently attending an online school of her own choice. She has also started working part-time at the same family restaurant as Sakuta and has regained a healthy daily life.
