Something that kind of struck me with Noir is that I think the first time Kirika and Mireille share anything resembling a hug or embrace is when Mireille pushes the gun back into her hands, in the episode before last.

Before this there's a few moments where one or the other clearly thinks about offering some kind of supportive touch, but decides against it.

Almost all other contact between them is incidental or a matter of business. What falls out of these two categories is still carefully constrained to the realm of plausible deniability. Even when they share a bed they always have their backs turned towards each other. This gets contrasted very heavily with both of the Manor girls constantly embracing Kirika.

I think this aspect of their relationship is probably my favorite. There's so much unsaid and so much they each can't face, despite both of them wanting to. They're both restrained so heavily by their fears and the expectations they hold for their relationship. To this end the show is very adamant about limiting the extent and nature of their physical intimacy.
