She doesn't remember much but she remembers a time before Mireille came for her.
She remembers a time before Mireille's bed, Mireille's gun between her eyes, Mireille's back, warm and steady against her own while bullets pierce the air around them.
In the timeline of her memories there is Mireille, and there is before Mireille. It's like the difference between living and dying, impossible to know one without the other
"Kirika," Mireille says, "Please."
Please don't let go. Please don't leave me.
They are the maidens who govern death, it's only fitting they learn how to live.
Kirika holds on.
