...Kirika after her training, had her memory wiped, was given a new identity and dumped into society as a 'task' to become Noir? Then she and Mirielle were brought together to fight it out for the chance to join Chloe. I don't think it was ever explained, but that's my take on it.

Apart from being utterly heart stopping (I seriously thought she was dead), the headshot has always puzzled me too, it did seem odd considering it was Kirika's gun. Bu I guess the Chloe missed purposefully knowling the 'shock' would trigger Kirika's memories.

Spoiler:

I figured erasing Kirika's memory after training was how she would be different from Cloe who was trained the same but retained he memory and life at the manor. The profecy was to plant the seeds in different soil.

About Cloe "shooting" Kirika. I wonder if that moment was sort of programmed into Kirka as the thing that would return her memories. Like a post hypnotic suggestion. Kirika is pretty much prorammed and goes through the trials and things just as Altena wants her to. And Cloe knows to do that and that it will return her memory to her.
