Mac managed to spend most of her afternoon,
trying to get clean again.
The funny thing about soot? It gets everywhere. As soon as she'd cleaned it off herself, she went back to her room, and found smudges of it all over the place there.
Now, however, the entire place is sparkling, and the flowers she'd been given earlier are all arranged nicely in a pot on the windowsill. Mac is sitting crosslegged on her bed with her laptop as usual. Valentine's day or not, that's unlikely to change.
