* BerserkButton: Konoha becomes one to her due to his resemblance to her crush Haruka. Once Ene realized that Konoha didn't have any of Haruka's memories of her, she is determined that he is a fake and refuses to have little to do with him.
* {{Technopath}}: Ene's eye ability enables her to materialize her consciousness anywhere, and her preferred mediums are computers and smartphones, which gives her complete control over data and technology by extension.

The way the Retaining eyes worded it could mean that when Shintaro dies after the loop is broken. Based on how the snakes work, Shintaro already died once in the final loop with the Retaining Eyes serving as his second life when he left the Kagerou Daze. If she disappeared, Shintaro would've been dead at that moment.

Yakitsukeru states at the end of the manga that after the tragedy, she will disappear, as snakes disappear after the wish is achieved (ending the tragedy), so it's safe to assume that's what happened. As for the daze stuff, that's likely just another plot hole.

Shintaro didn't lose the Retaining Eyes snake, it's just inactive like the Clearing Eyes since its power is no longer necessary due to Shintaro breaking the loop. Remember, Shintaro couldn't leave the Kagerou Daze after dying if he didn't have a snake.
