A week had past since their brief moment together. Kirigiri had avoided her at nearly every turn, whether it be slipping away from an accidental brushing of hands or even being within the same room voluntarily. Celestia had finally succumbed to her insanity, convincing her 'servant'' to commit murder, only to eliminate him herself.
It didnt take long before she had been proven guilty of the murder of Yamada Hifumi & prepped for execution. Drug off to the gallows she admitted her confessions as well as her true name as her final words, hell, there'd be no point in witholding such information when your death is inevidable. Strapped to the stake within seconds, she watched the hay around her lit ablaze by the execution mask clad monobear with a look of euphoria in sheer contrast to her fellow students worried one.
'Perfect...,' she thought, her lips curling into a soft smile as she watched the flames grow closer, 'I truly deserve this... it's a shame I couldn't win... that... we couldn't rule together...'
Seconds lingered on like hours while she was alone with her thoughts. The rise & fall of her chest grew heavier as the black smoke filled her lungs, yet not even a cough escaped her. As her life came edged closer to an end, her breath hitched, eliciting a quick closing of her eyes once the burning debris stung her lungs. She thought back to the times she shared with the young detective girl; her soft skin, calm expression that none could phase, hell, even her voice had brought bliss to her ears.
"Liquid velvet..." she whispered softly, her face glistening with sweat as the flames danced at her feet, the embers burning little holes into the bottom of her dress "God, what have I done? I lied to myself... I lied to my heart now didnt I? Kyouko... Kyouko I'm so sorry..."
Eyes pricking with tears, she could no longer tell if it was from her emotions or the thick smoke burning her eyes. Death like this.. it wasn't right. Sure she found it amusing at first to die like one out of her books but to truly expierence it was hell. 'I deserve this... I deserve every flame, every ember to rittle my body into disintigration!'
As the lolita glanced up one last time, her eyes widened a bit as she saw the firetruck heading towards her with a hiss. Her entire life flashing before her eyes, the good the bad & her moments at the despair academy, she couldn't help but smile once more as she watched her death approach,
"I love you, Kyouko... I... I love you so much..." Celestia whispered, her voice cracking slightly as she stared down the front end of the truck with a painful smile.
"...I'm sorry..."
Her ruby eyes closing for the final time just before the truck struck her, her smile remained as the violent crash of twisting metal echoed through the ears of the remaining students. It was over. Her life slipping from her eyes the moment of impact she never felt a thing but the shattered remains of her heart piercing deeper & the flames the burned at her feet.
Monobear walked over once all had been cleared, extinguising the remaining flames with a small grin. Kirigiri watched with a blank expression throughout the entirity of it, only to bite her lip once it had ended. There was something off with everything & she could feel it.
'she... she muttered something before she died... what on earth was it...? Did she apologize..? No... she wouldn't... not again...' Quickly turning her back upon it all, she reluctantly started to walk off without the others.
"...I'm not feeling well," she muttered, her tone lacking emotion, "Please excuse me while I retire to my room early this evening..."
