Maki
Maki likes to sleep where the feet are. Maybe she knows about the temperature issue. Bad circulation and no neighboring body parts down there to keep things comfortable on the colder days.
Maki would sleep down there now but Maki is not here. It's OK because sometimes a little discomfort is what you need to kick things in gear. There's a lot of stuff she hasn't processed, years-old stuff, and the cold feet and parenthesis left where Maki isn't are catalyzing all sorts of little impressions from other times. Memories that seem unfamiliar, almost unknown; they are making their visits and she's actually letting them stick around. One cannot argue that it is not an interesting change of pace from the bore routine.
But where is Maki?
Maki might be lost forever. One has to face the reality of such a possibility. It is too soon to know, but perhaps she should practice the feelings now. It wouldn't be hard because this wouldn't be numero uno loss, so she can just dip into the old storehouse, but also mostly because no matter how well you do it, practice is practice and it's not going to be like the real thing, it's gonna be much easier.
But why even discuss it, she has discarded the idea already because practice is too much like the bore routine all over again. She's tired of doing everything one two three. So when Maki exits and the older unfamiliar/familiars come by, she's cool with it. She wants to see what it could all be about. Well, of course it's not about anything, it's just random firing synapses, the strangeness of having cold feet again, but one could make good use of it. Even if it does make her cry.
