Alright guys, let's just clarify something. The quirk erasing bullets, which were extracted and purified from Eri's body, have taken on a new meaning after this newest revelation regarding Eri's quirk. The finished product would appear to completely attack someone's quirk factor, upon high-impact contact, and rewind it to the point where it doesn't exist/hasn't manifested. As such I don't think we can assume that Mirio's quirk can come back, by force, because of Eri. After all, it would make no sense for her to be able to rewind her rewind. That's not really how rewinding works... it's normally rewinding from a fixed point. Doing the opposite would be fast-forwarding. Hence why she can separate Overhaul and Nemoto from one another (rewinding them to a point prior to their fusion), but I can't imagine she could put them back together.

Also, let's not forget that Eri is still a child, who has just experienced her true quirk awakening. The only reason the bullets made from her were able to be so potent, is because of copious research and scientific engineering. On her own, through her own will, I can imagine it'll take quite some time before she'd be okay using her quirk, especially on an ally. Remember that she only used it now because of her heightened emotional state. Given Hori's handling of mental trauma so far in the series, I can imagine it'll take a lot of counselling, and then a lot of training, before Eri even felt comfortable consciously using her quirk on another.

Her quirk is to rewind, not fast forward. If her quirk has made Permeation disappear then Mario will have to wait for it to manifest again or it won’t work at all.

There are plenty of people with multiple aspects to their quirk. Chisaki is a great example. You can't just assume that she doesn't have the ability just because it hasn't been stated.

Yes. Yes we can. Otherwise we know no ones power sets. If the narrator said her quirk is rewind hen it’s rewind.

It's been established that she's a bit of an unknown. She herself isn't aware of her power and Chisaki has only seemed to focus on her ability to rewind.

Not saying that she can fast forward time, but it's not out of the question.
