Send “👥” + a character to know more about my muse’s relationship with them!
yui is, simply put, the most impactful person in kyouko’s life. her self proclaimed big sister, she was everything kyouko was taught a detective shouldn’t be — emotional, impulsive, boisterous, and at times even immature. and despite it all, kyouko would still cite the older girl as one of the best detectives she’s ever known.
yui was the first person to see kyouko before she saw a kirigiri. she always did, right from the start. it was something kyouko had never had before ; an identity beyond her family. it was strange, and exciting, and comforting all at once.
she never considered the ramifications of the promise she proposed. how could she? it wasn’t like she intended to die, like she knew the position they would be put in, or the lengths yui would go to keep her promise. she finds herself wondering, from time to time, if she had simply stayed quiet would it have made a difference? the older she gets, the more she realizes it wouldn’t — yui was always selfless.
her death shatters kyouko. grief is nothing new to her, but there’s something horrific about the days following yui’s death. it’s the most alone she’s ever felt.
and for the first time, kyouko questions her merit as a detective. yui always called herself an ally of justice, and became a detective because she wanted to help people. kyouko never had the choice, and never cared for any cases she took beyond the puzzle they presented. and she’s scared. can she even call herself a detective after that?
she pulls herself together. she continues forward, for yui’s sake.
every year, on the anniversary of her death, kyouko travels to yui’s hometown where her gravestone sits — she brings fresh flowers and spends the day there in the cemetery, just talking. she tells yui all the things she’s missed in the past year, and thanks her for always looking out for her. it was once a very solemn affair, but it’s since shifted into something more bittersweet.
