It's sorta like using "Persona 4" logic. (Forgive me if no one here plays the game version or watched the animation version).

If the Kiri we saw as a shy and timid boy is how he acted as a 'mask' or 'facade', then the Kiri we saw as a cold and mean boy is his 'true self', or what he really like in the inside.

The Dark Core forced his 'true self' to surface. But even when the Dark Core was destroyed, Kiri decided to not to pretend anymore and acted like who he really is; in other words, he decided to expose his true colors even after being freed by the Dark Core because he accepted that who he really is.

Plus, even though he is now cold and mean, he got back his good heart and kindness thanks to Gao.
