headcanon ->Her feelings for Takumi are directly related to her regaining her time loop memories, so, she falls for him in every single route but doesn't involve herself when he's already busy with someone else.

In fact, Hiruko only kissed Takumi when he killed Nozomi. Maybe him hosting a brain parasite is what finally hit the spot in a way the randoms down there in the Kabukicho back alleys never did. I'm almost certain she was high off being the only one to protect a vulnerable and scared Takumi and him depending on her for his sanity. It's something similar to when she adoped Darumi as her puppygirl in Killing Game, it's a kink I think. BASED
