At this point I assume that the original timeline didn't have us in Elpis, but Venat still went with Hermes and Emet, and she still managed to escape the mind wipe. So she knew what was going on the entire time with Meteion in the original timeline, and certain things like binding Zodiark and the Moon being a ship were originally there. So she walked down the same "path" without the foreknowledge of what she would do. All we did is basically tell her, "Yeah, you're going to walk down that path" in advance.
