After execution she’s sent to the deepest depths of the Dream Realm, busted up and her plating falling apart. Since she’s partially made with Dream magic, she starts to reflect her new hellish environment and her form becomes unstable over her time there. Don’t have a definitive design for this yet, but I imagine it’d be fluid and fluctuate anyway so WHATEVA have these concepts
While she is eventually retrieved and Chihiro repairs her, she still has visible cracks in her mask, and her right eye has trouble seeing outside of DR. We’re thinking of her joining up and assisting Makoto and others in protecting DR from being used negatively like that again, learning more from Chihiro and tinkering a bit herself on top of her other research.
For context: Chiaki loves talking with Ibuki but god bless her magic robo brain not understand half of the words that come out of her mouth. She relies on Hajime and Komaeda to help her out so she doesn’t embarrass herself in front of her (ft. extra panel from @/shslstraws)
Also, drew out some of Ibuki’s freetime activities that I thought were quaint heh :^)
