She is also the one captured and hogtied by the brain-washed campers. Delta is drawn for the camp relay, placing in the bottom 8 in the first run and coming in the first of the four after the second run.

### I Don't Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

Feeling frustrated from being ignored and talked over so much, Delta ends up asserting herself, capturing the group's attention. Immediately she is coddled by Cecelia despite her protests, due to her sprained ankle. Her resistance ends in her ankle breaking.

#### Abduction and the Revived Project

While trying to discover the secret of the tree on the hill, the group gets ambushed by Junko and Mukuro who take Delta and Rene hostage after killing two group members. After Mikan takes a look at her ankle, Delta is told that she is the candidate for the revived Izuru Kamukura Project set up by Junko. With Dawn Hatcher and Benny Smith in danger, Delta agrees to partake in the project and is told who the eighth token is as well as shown the traitor amongst the writers.

During Delta's imprisonment, she befriends a young girl nicknamed Shi who is being held to be ground into coffee every so often for the Cursed God. She also is gifted a white bengal tiger cub named Jasmine that Mikan had found lost and injured in the woods, much to Junko's annoyance.

On the day of the project's beginning Junko threatens Delta, forcing her to choose between Jasmine's life and the lives of Dawn and Benny. However there is a sudden stop in time and Delta is teleported to the North Pole.

### A Haunted Christmas

Delta, due to being neurodivergent, should have been able to see through Delilah's façade. However Delilah preyed on Delta's innate desire to be seen and loved while she treated Mystic cruelly, resulting in her falling blind to it. This caused Delta to feel superior and act arrogant towards Mystic. Things snap one night when Delta says a phrase that triggers Mystic's memories of a toxic friend, causing Mystic to lash out physically.

Once the group gathers themselves and discovers the pattern of who is able to see through the façade, they go to find Mystic and discover that the elves are still after her. In order to save Mystic from becoming the power source, they are told they must go through a labyrinth that is custom to each person. Delta is drawn for this labyrinth and finds one section of the labyrinth filled with Daleks attempting to assimilate her. Luckily she makes it out alive and still human.

After freeing Mystic from the chamber, Gabbie ends up having a diva tantrum, luring Delilah into the room. This is where Delta discovers that Delilah had merely used her to get Mystic to feel unloved so she would run off. Joey ends up standing up for her.

She escapes with the others after Gabbie is drawn to be devoured by Delilah before being swept up in Mystic's sudden burst of magic.
