[ Good memories along with the bad are never that far from the surface for Makoto. He didn't need this place to remind him through dreams, nightmares, or ... these things. But these show him memories that are almost warm enough to keep him from feeling the cold around him. After all of the pain here, these are more of a salve than his own dreams could ever hope to be and he can't help but let himself get lost in them as he wanders from wisp to wisp. His expression goes softer than most have seen from him at the memories he pauses to watch; smiling or laughing, maybe even tearing up at some of them.
Later in the day, he'll give in to his curiosity about whether he still remembers how to skate or not. With a look of determination, he roughly tugs those skates on and then... sits there. For a long time, his gaze is stuck on the reflective surface, face going pale and determined expression cooling to melancholy. The tremble in his limbs could be passed off as cold, but he gives up on trying to stand for the moment. Instead, he lets his head fall atop his drawn knees as his skates mark lines into the snow. Deep breaths, in and out, are still visible in the cold air despite his position.
Of course, he'll be found wandering from the lodgings kitchen (if someone would like coffee or breakfast in the morning), the boutique (see the p.s. below), and around random places in the new area as well, so feel free to wildcard him anywhere you please.
P.S. Makoto did the logical thing once he saw and felt that cold on accident, so he's tried to find the closest version of what he's used to from back home (unless someone wants to help him make more fashionable choices at the boutique). ]
