It might be an unconscious change of cause and effect. I've seen it a few times before in other works.
Two examples I can remember is how the spear Gae Bolg works in Fate series. Gae Bolg pierces the enemy heart first and then finds the way to achieve this afterwards, even if it has to do something illogical. The effect happens before the cause.
The second is from Tenchi series, Mihoshi's unconscious power over cause and effect works in the way of coincidences. A bunch of random events happen that leads to a desirable "coincidence" for her. Like, a random pizza boy being late for a delivery narrowly dodges a cat, this leads to something else, which leads to something else, which ultimately leads to a piece of metal slamming into a guy trying to mug her.
