Additionally, in a scene from her animated OVA, she demonstrates great speed and reflexes by preventing her boyfriend from having an accident. It is thought that she could be from a Taimanin universe and was sent to Tatsuya’s world. However, the protagonist believes that Liliana is simply cosplaying, suggesting that the Taimanin could be fictional characters in his world and Liliana is recreating them through that costume.
