Nope, all this means is she was supposed to have it right then
When she dropped it later and couldn't get it back, it was no longer meant for her
Reminds me a bit of The One Ring from Lord of the Rings
The relics have a mind of their own
I like how this chapter is both a flashback with characters introduced later in the story and a somewhat backstory to how Riko got the compass rolling down the hill in the first chapter
