Actually, I'm looking at it another way. We know that the Drive and Mach Systems depend on their user's emotional state. I think the reason Shinnosuke was able to become Drive was because he was depressed after the whole "injuring Hayase" thing. That meant his emotional levels were at zero.

Chase rarely shows any emotion, and never seemed to back when he was Proto-Drive. I think that at first, the user of the Drive System needs to be at an emotional zero to get the power to stick to them, and that Kiriko couldn't do that because while she seems externally cold, she's quite a passionate person and couldn't quite dial it down enough.

Or I could be talking nonsense, whichever works.
