A lot of people joke about how gay it is that even early on in Noir, Kirika and Mireille slept in the same bed despite there literally being two beds, but it actually perfectly symbolizes the vulnerability between them at that point.

Both of them are taking huge risks in this partnership and displaying huge amounts of vulnerability to each other for the sake of uncovering the mysteries of their past. Mireille is letting a girl who not only knows her identity but is just as adept at killing as she is (if not moreso) live under the same roof. Kirika may have lost her memory, but she stills has her instincts as a trained killer, and she is greatly going against those instincts by allowing herself to sleep under the same roof as a professional hitman who has promised to eventually kill her. But through their partnership, they've placed themselves in each other's care. Of course they sleep in the same bed, then; they're just as vulnerable with each other.

But despite this, they don't want to actually acknowledge that vulnerability. They face away from each other; neither wants to acknowledge that this is the closest they've ever allowed someone to get to them in a long time. They're both placing a huge amount of trust in each other while trying not to actually trust each other, and that scares them. So they turn away. They try not to acknowledge it. And they try and act like things are simply a strictly professional arrangement between them, while they sleep in the same bed.

What I'm trying to say is that it would actually be less gay if they were just fucking

really love how you can pretty much summarise the progression of kirika and mireille’s dynamic through just these four shots

[monstrousgourmandizingcats]

Mireille is such a creeploser in some ways (affectionate). Random shit reminds her of Dostoyevsky or Hemingway, her only friends are middle-aged hairdressers and just-as-middle-aged married men, she's hilariously conventionally attractive but the only sex she's ever implied to have is whatever the fuck is happening with Kirika early on, and she almost certainly has no ~marketable skills~ other than shooting people.

It's a shame Kirika and Mireille didn't get the chance to grow up as normal people because you just know the messy lesbian college roommate age-gap situationship between them would have been insane

And that was how they were able to afford their beach house in the ending credits
