This level is increased by tapping her heart bubbles in the shop (a particle effect and a prompt will notify the player of a new costume) or by spending gems.

After getting back to Area S09, Kalina and the Commander were offered Green Zone cards respectively by [[Helian]] and [[Berezovich Kryuger|Kryuger]], and given the choice to leave the PMC to leave safer lives or keep getting involved in dangerous missions and learn dangerous truths. Kalina noted that the card was worth 10 years of her salary but wanted to follow the Commander's decision, while not wanting to ask them their choice directly. The Commander noticed and tried to tease Kalina by wondering if they could ever find a fitting replacement, but Kalina did not appreciate the joke<ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Departure Time IV}}</ref> and gave the Commander the cold shoulder for an entire week before they could clarify that they would stay at G&K.

When the [[URNC]] forcibly downsized [[Griffin & Kryuger]] in late 2064, [[the Commander]] suddenly left the company to escape the URNC's control, and didn't ask Kalina to join them as to not endanger her.
