>>11720529Why would you frame it as if it were solely on Kiara? If Irys really wants to collab, she can also just reach out herself (I'm all for upholding japanese traditions, but their autistic "oh noes, it always falls upon the senior person to initialize, otherwise nothing ever gets done" custom isn't one of them), and I'm sure Kiara would be more than happy to oblige.
Others have already mentioned, the most obvious explanation is usually the most probable one. So without needing to rrat about people being autistic, or even worse, intentionally avoiding each other, most of the time the reason why not everybody is always collabing with each other all the time is simply due to timezones and scheduling issues. That Kiara is especially fucked by this, with her being one of the more busier holos and also being the only one in a practical deadman's land timezone wise, makes this even harder for her and she went as far as admitting as much.
For what it's worth, of course I'd also like to see her with Irys. From what admittedly little I've seen of her, she seems like a nice girl who has her shit together and is socially aware enough (given how many HoloENs are on the autism spectrum, it's actually a quality to mention) that she can play along with various types of personalities (i.e. she can work with both the introverts and extroverts etc.), she can handle conversations and play along with whatever her partner puts out, and I'm sure they'd have no problem talking and bonding over common interests like living in Japan etc.
Again, it would've helped massively if Kiara was around to hop on the spontaneous Minecraft collabs that Council/Irys seems to have brought into HoloEN, but see reasons above. It would've broken the ice a lot faster and helped connecting with the girls in a more "casual" setting where you can just talk randomly, as opposed to setting up a rigid "official" collab which both inhibits spontaneity because you have to schedule way in advance, and doesn't really help getting to know the other person because more often than not they use the crutch of a game as an activity and most talk will be gameplay focused... but then again, I lamented about HoloENs general autistic aversion to just hold pure zatsu collabs time and time again.
