Chapter 24: Colourful developments

"Come on in! Come on in!" Kireina clutched Kiibo's arm as she lead him into her art room. Well, it was more like she was dragging him.

"I'm coming, no need to worry," Kiibo told her

"I'm so glad you came!" Kireina grinned before smacking her head on the door because she forgot it was still closed

"Well its not I had a choice..." Kiibo muttered, "Careful there though,"

Kireina rubbed her forehead before pushing down the door handle and hustled in, dragging Kiibo behind her.

"Ta da!" she proudly showed him her art room, "Whatcha think? Professional right?"

Kiibo looked around. The room was absolutely covered in splatters of paint, though it actually brought a nice touch. There was paint on the floor, on the white sheets used to cover up furniture, on the walls and even small speckles on the ceiling. The room was also quite full with objects. There were little props used for inspiration, little mannequins used for drawings, pots of paint, art utensils, drawings pinned onto the walls, many easels and much more.

"Yeah it does," he admitted

"I'm so glad you like it!" Kireina grinned before pushing him a relatively clean chair for him to sit on, "Would you like anything? I've got many sweets in my cupboard!"

"I guess a few wouldn't hurt," Kiibo told her

"Great!" Kireina dragged her own chair to stand on to reach the cupboard

"Don't worry, I got it," Kiibo stood up and opened the cupboard for her, "What sweets do you want?"

"Gummy bears please!" Kireina clapped her sleeves in delight

Kiibo grabbed a packet of gummy bears as well as a packet of jelly beans for himself before jumping down from the chair

"Thank chu!" Kireina smiled as she got her sweets

"So why did you only want me here?" Kiibo asked her, sitting back on his chair, "I'm sure the other would have been a better choice,"

"I would tell you right now but it would reveal way too much!" Kireina replied, fumbling with the packet

"Reveal what? Tips on how to survive Danganronpa?" he asked, opening his own packet

"Ummm, I don't think so. I don't think its got anything to do with helping you that much," she said before giving him her sweets, "Can you open them for me?"

"Why don't you just use your hands instead of your sleeves?" Kiibo questioned her, opening the packet for her

"Because it defeats the whole purpose of hiding my hands in my sleeves!"

"But why do you do it?"

"Because I've learnt how to draw with my wrists instead of my hands, that's how advanced I am with drawing!"

"Okay..." Kiibo popped a jelly bean in his mouth, still not understanding her logic

"Don't mind me! I'm just full of randomness! Merodi-chan always tells me that!" Kireina proudly said

"I don't think she meant it as a complement," Kiibo told her

"Oh well!" she still seemed content, "I don't really care, I'm just glad she still knows I'm always here!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Nothing much, I'm just happy that all my friends always acknowledge me. You know, I'll let them walk all over me if they wanted. I'll even protect them with my life!" Kireina smiled, "I'm just happy they're my friends,"

"They wouldn't really be friends if they walk all over you," Kiibo commented, "But I see what you mean,"

"I know right? That's why I brought you here! We're so alike!" she leaned on the table, pushing herself up and beaming

"In what way are you referring to?" he asked even though there was nothing they had in common

"You're just like me when it comes down to social stuff!"

"What?"

"You're not really the social type of person, right? Sometimes its like you disappear. Am I right?"

"Where did you get all that from?"

"Just answer me!"

"Okay, if you insist so,"

"I can tell! I have a good eye," Kireina tapped her eyes for the sake of effect, "I can definitely tell!"

"So you're telling me you can tell I'm an unsocial person?" Kiibo asked to set things straight

"Yep yep! I could see it when we first met! You were the one who hardly ever spoke, only at some points for commentary and also to acknowledge others you're there!"

"Wait just a minute-"

"I could also tell when I was aligning ships with everyone! I couldn't really see any partners would could potentially be shipped with,"

"Jeez, thanks,"

"I don't mean it in a bad way! I just didn't see anyone suitable for you among your friends! But anyways, there's the proof I'm right! I'm correct, right?"

"I mean, I guess you are?"

"I'm being serious here! Give me a straight answer!" Kireina insisted, leaning even more towards him

"Okay okay, you're absolutely right," Kiibo sighed as he accepted the truth

"Yay! I actually got it right for once!" Kireina cheered

"Wait, you were just guessing?"

"Maybe I was..." she giggled slightly

Kiibo sighed again, "So what's this got to do with you then?"

"Don't you get it?" Kireina puffed her cheeks out in slight impatience

"No I don't. Please explain it to me,"

"Like I said before, we're exactly the same! I'm just like you!"

"How? It's obvious you're the center of attention among your group of friends. How does that prove we're the same?" Kiibo asked her

"Awww come on, I'm not referring to them," Kireina sighed, getting more impatient, "I'm talking about season 52, my season! Come on, you must remember it, it was last year!"

"Of course I do. I remember all the Danganronpa seasons,"

"Good! Then remember my season really deeply. Remember the times I appeared on screen!" Kireina patted his shoulder as if it was going to help him remember

"What about you appearing on screen?" Kiibo tried asking her

"Just remember how other characters reacted to me!" Kireina told him

"What about it?"

"Just try and remember?"

"Well okay, well you clung onto a lot of the other characters. You still act as you were in your season. Other characters either got sick of you or ended up loving you,"

"Jeez! Do I have to tell you myself?" Kireina puffed out her cheeks again

"Yes, because I don't get what you're trying to aim at," Kiibo admitted

"Fine! Do you know how I managed to survive?"

"Because no one could bear to kill you!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot I told everyone that," Kireina said, already distracted from her intense moment a second ago

"Do you mind finishing off what you was trying to tell me?" Kiibo asked her

"Sorry! What I was trying to say was that the only reason that I survived was because..." Kireina suddenly stopped mid sentence. Her face immediately turned sad and her cat ears and tail drooped, matching her mood. To be honest, it was impressive how quickly she could change her mood.
"Its because everyone forgot about me..."

"What?" Kiibo said, startled at the sudden change of atmosphere

"You heard me," Kireina dejectedly sat down on her chair, tears starting to fall from her eyes

"Hey, don't cry now," Kiibo panicked slightly, he wasn't good at calming people down

"I'm not crying," Kireina lied as wiped her eyes with her sleeves

"Would a hug make you feel better?" Kiibo asked her, not knowing how else to calm down

"Mhm," Kireina practically tackled him in a hug

"I think I understand what you mean now," Kiibo told her, "I get what you mean when you said that everyone forgot you,"

"See? We really are the same," Kireina laughed half heartedly as she snuffled in his chest

"Yeah. We are," Kiibo sighed slightly

"I was destined to become a victim," Kireina told him, "Other than being the child of the cast, I had no other role. They didn't give me any character development. I was just there. I was perfect for a victim,"

"Only that because everyone often forgot you were there. That's why you survived," Kiibo finished off

"Yep. Right on the mark. I had nothing to memorise me with. All I had was cute looks and personality. Other than that, I had nothing. Everyone forgot about me,"

"There there," Kiibo patted her head slightly. It was a little awkward though

"So, I understand that you're aren't really the most noticeable character there, right?"

"Yeah. Compared to all my friends, I'm just the normal boy," he told her, "You're right, we are similar,"


"Better?" Kiibo asked Kireina after she calmed down

"Yep!" Kireina smiled, "All that crying made me hungry,"

Kiibo laughed slightly as he pushed the uneaten bag of gummy bears towards her

"I like you a lot, Kiibo-kun!" she laughed, starting to munch on the sweets, "I really do!"

"I'm honoured," he smiled back at her before glancing at his phone for the time, "I probably should go. I've been in here for a long time,"

"Wait! Before you go!" Kireina jumped up and dashed into one corner of the room. Also colliding into a lot of objects, causing stuff to fall down, "Owwww...."

"Careful there,"

"Okay, I got it!" Kireina dashed back, holding a sketchbook in her arms

"A sketchbook?"

"Yep yep! I've got a little secret for you Kiibo-kun! Don't tell anyone I told you this," Kireina grinned, "I actually design all your outfits and appearances!"

"Really?" Kiibo looked at her in surprise, "I was not expecting that one,"

"I bet you didn't! I design possible outfits for all of you and the Ultimate Tailors and such actually make them!"

"So I'm guessing you're gonna show me my design!"

"Yep you got it! You signed up as the Ultimate Robot, right?"

"Yeah, I did. Sorry for that. It must have been difficult designing an outfit for me,"

"No no! It's fine! I pulled an all-nighter binge watching all the animes that contained robots!" Kireina huffed proudly

"You really didn't have to do that-"

"It's okay! I liked the challenge! It's my first time working for Danganronpa for I was so excited! It was easy designing everyone else's outfits, I was happy tackling yours!"

"Thanks Kireina," Kiibo smiled at her

"No problem! Its such a pleasure!" Kireina opened her sketchbook and flicked to a certain page before presenting Kiibo her sketches

"Woah..." Kiibo scanned the multiple sketches she had drew. There were two pages filled to the brim with designs, specific details and other stuff.

"Do you like it?" Kireina asked him

"I love it," Kiibo smiled softly

"Yay!" Kireina cheered

"Thank you Kireina,"
