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.

... Suddenly the name "Drive" takes on a new meaning.
