Kiana's POV
"Mei~ do you think Komachi will like this?" I hold up a dress that I think Hachiman's little sister would like? Hoping that she will like it but I have never done this before. I think. It's hard to trust my memories when I apparently forgot my siblings. Hopefully they are doing well wherever they are.
The love of my life nods and her smile almost sends me to the moon, "I think so, though we might want to grab a few more of different designs," I barely hear her before she holds up some kind of dress that I think I saw in one of my manga. Um the one… That… Never mind.
"How about this?" I nod since anything that Mei picks is always the best choice!
"Looks so cute~! I would have liked to wear this if I was younger!" I might have said that a little louder than I wanted since some of the people here are looking, not like I care but it's nice that no one here really cares about the outside world news. Really good news for Mei since she's still sad about her situation. Hopefully, no, I will make her feel better!
I grab the dress that she's holding to get a better look, "Yep, she'll love it!" Nodding to myself as I imagine Hachiman's little sister wearing this almost makes me wish that tomorrow can come faster.
"Ummm, Kiana… Can I ask you something?" I blink then turn around to see Mei fidgeting while avoiding my gaze.
I frown while putting the dress on a nearby rack, "Sure?" I don't know why but I get the feeling that I know what she will ask me and I know I won't like it.
"So… Why do you really like Hachiman? I always thought… That you were joking in having a relationship with all three of us."
Oh. She's asking me that, false alarm, "How mean Mei~! I always mean what I say! I fell in love with you because of your looks at first but I fell even deeper in the love hole as time went on, while Hachiman is the first person I saw that doesn't hide behind a mask and be true to himself! Not to mention that he always stuck with us, joked with us, had fun, and, um… Yeah!" I forgot what else that made me like Hachiman but it should come to me later.
Mei slowly nods while her face slowly becomes somber, "Yes… He stuck with us even though he could have just ignored us… He was always alone back in our first year…"
Nope, a sad Mei is a bad Mei, so I quickly close in then embrace her in a hug, "Don't be sad Mei! All it matters now is the present and we should stop him from his self-destructive tendencies!"
Mei lightly giggles that soothes my soul, "Yes, that's right. We done a good job at stopping him and I can see he's changing in a more positive way!" I can feel her arm becoming harder, so she must be clenching her hands, I think.
I just bury my head into her shoulder to snuggle, "Yep~!" My action makes her giggle then I feel a hand running through my hair, almost sending me into a puddle.
"I know I accepted the whole girlfriend but please stop hugging since it's embarrassing." Blinking before moving my head away from her magnificent shoulder to pout at her, "Please?" Awww~ she's blushing!
I let go off her, "Fine~ I had enough of Meiridium." For now.
Mei shakes her head with a small smile, "I am not a charger for you to charge, Kiana. But let's just get back to searching."
Alright, even though I think we found enough clothes, I nod at her before grabbing the dress on the rack, "Ok~" I put the dress into the small pile of clothes we hoped Hachiman's little sister would like then head off to another section.
Luckily Mei didn't ask me about my childhood… I hate that I lied to them and I still believe that I convinced them that I forgot everything while downplaying few things but… I don't want them to look at me with pity. I'll take anything but pity.
How I had to travel by myself at a young age after getting kicked out from the house with me working at multiple jobs to pay. How I had found my father in the snow forest. How he had abandoned me there. How I chased after him. How he emotionlessly looked at me before leaving.
I never gave them my full reason for trying to find him, that I just want to beat him, kick punch everything but above all I just want to find out why he left me.
Mother… Went missing after separating from father after he left me at that house, from what aunt Teri told me… I wish that you are fine wherever you are…
Anyway I already decided to never tell them. I'll just be the energetic, fun, friendly Kiana Kaslana instead of my previous self. The one that did bad things to live. I don't want them to find out. I don't want them to look at me with pity like they did.
And I will do whatever it takes to protect their image of me.

(Possible Route 2)
"Hachiman! Please… Go away! I am a monster! I slaughtered half of the human race!" Kiana shouts as she struggles to get out of his grasp so that she can plummet to her death.
"Hell no! That was because of the alien bitch thing controlling you! You are innocent! Mei believes it! Bronya, Fu Hua, Himeko, Theresa, Sirin, Bianka, Cecilia, Siegfried, basically everybody important to you believes you are innocent! Please come back!" Hachiman grits his teeth as he feels his hand slipping due to the sweats pouring out, making him struggle even more to pull her up.
"WHY?! Why are you going so far for me?! I was the one who forced you to be my friend! I put you through so much pain! So why, why are you trying to save me!" She cries out with tears streaming as she looks at him, "The world hates me, please just let me die be –"
"SO WHAT?! I would gladly fight the world if they come for you! You might have been damn annoying at the beginning but that's fine! I tried to kill myself multiple times before you came and you saved me! Kiana Kaslana, you saved me! And I'll be damned if I can't repay you!" He loudly cuts her off while tears are leaking out that hit Kiana's face.
Mei appears next to him to latch onto their hand, "Kiana please don't give up! Even if the whole world decides that saving you is a sin, I'll gladly become a sinner! So please don't give up! You and Hachiman are the most important people in my life, I already lost two… Don't you dare add more!"
