Kotoka threw Zaion under the bus because Hex manipulated her.
Hex immediately took interest in Kotoka, but she felt unsafe with him, and Zaion was protecting her from him. But Zaion couldn't be a watchdog 24/7, so eventually Hex found an opportunity to slip in and poison Kotoka against her. And as soon as Zaion was gone, the sexual harassment began. Kotoka endured it for as long as she could, but by very unlucky coincidence she reached her breaking point just as Mel was getting terminated from Hololive. And people blamed her. This snowballed, and she completely isolated herself from everything and gone full incommunicado with the rest of the branch just to get away from Hex. And now that he's graduating, she finally feels safe again.
Maybe she might even apologize to Sayu.
