[Action]

[Makie has been feeling restless lately.  Usually content to live her days out in obscurity, she finds herself going out of her way to sit and people-watch more and more.  It's still much the same thing.  She's just...being obscure in company that doesn't notice.  Yes.  Or something.

If she were honest with herself, she'd know she was looking for someone in particular.   She's been thinking of similarities lately.  It's a nostalgia and a hurt, deep inside, knowing she will never go back to the person she truly loves.  If this is her life now, here in Luceti...surely it's all right to move on and consider another?  Even if the similarities she noted are stretched thin by further meetings...

But Makie is rarely honest.  So she fidgets and is restless, and today after work at the restaurant, she breaks from usual routine to go shopping.  The clothing store, trying on different outfits that aren't as traditional as her normal kimono.  She remembers wearing jeans fondly in her other life.   She ends up going home with a pair today.  (She may never wear them, but hey.  You never know.)

She goes to the item store for a more serious look at any hair ornaments she can find, and finds herself faintly regretting she ever cut her hair short.  That one last memory, of fingers gently letting her hair down in the moonlight on the bridge.  Only the more she thinks about it, the more the faintly disapproving face of her memories is replaced by another.

She goes to the teahouse to try and calm the unsettled feeling to her nerves, and ends up staring into space for a long time, unless interrupted by passers by.

She doesn't visit the battle dome at all, for once.  Instead, once she's done at the tea house, she explores the village, hoping for a glimpse of someone in particular.  It's...not unusual.  She just enjoys the company of someone so intelligent.  That's all it is.

There is nothing wrong here whatsoever.]
