きり
解説 · Why
〜たきり means an action happened and the resulting state has continued unchanged: 来たきり 帰って いない ("came and hasn't once returned since").
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
あいだ — あいだ marks a span, not "ever since and not once".
うちに — うちに means "while ~ still holds", not "ever since".
とたん — 〜たとたん means "the moment ~", a one-time event, not a lasting state.
