    Alright, this is a hard one, but I’m guessing what Makio lost isn’t even a person - it’s something conceptual. What’s harder to guess is exactly what it is she lost.

    Hope? Sentimentality? The courage to forgive?

    Maybe one of you who is wiser can tell me?

      I’d tend to guess too that it’s something conceptual. At this point, I expect that I won’t figure it out and will be surprised when (if) it’s revealed, but then it will fall neatly into place and make perfect sense.

      My first thought was that it was her sister that she lost. As in their “sisterhood”, not as in her “death”. But earlier when they had their falling out that made her hate her. Maybe they were close once. I’m not sure if it’s a realistic depiction of a sibling bond, but it’s something that would fit into the META of the show. It’s what I would do if I were a writer when trying to spin the story around a central plot point.
