Pfft. I can remember details like that for some reason. XD

Ahaha and oddly enough that would be an ending I would write. Having Makie pass on Christmas Day. Let me add salt to the wound. If Makie lived Homura would be spending time keeping her alive, and with her identity being compromised she knows more celestial beings will be after her. She decides that she has livex long enough, and so decides to vanish peacefully. But she has one silent regret, not playing with Homura one final time. Even if he tries to act like a adult, she would pester him to play games once in a while. Because she doesn't want him to overwork himself and forget he is still a growing teen in his own right, that he deserves to have fun every once in a while for his hard work.

Makie cannot stay and she knows thus, but knowing Homura tried so hard for her is enough to finally bring her self loathing to an end. Through this act Homura saves her in a sense. She finally dies happy and not in despair, because she found someone who made her feel happy to be alive. Everyone in the Canaria Foster Home saves Makie's heart, they save the one thing that makes her Makie. Why is this important? The longer ine stays as a Homunculus the more their emotions are dulled. Makie has been fighting a specific brain chemical meant to make her emotionless, unable to feel, for five years. Because she knows if she loses her empathy she will no konger be able to help the home. Even if she has to act like she is okay, even if she has to endure the hell inside her head, be constantly reminded of her failures and the failures to come, she endures it for the Home's sake.

In a way its similar to depression, and Makie has a lot of reasons to feel depressed when she arrives. But she hides her pain behind her childish antics and her smile, and she is too good at lying that she can successfully lie to herself at this point.

Oh let me add this in. When Makie first got her motorcycle (she does better on two wheels than four XD), she offers Homura a ride. And ever so often she would continue to offer Homura rides during the day and night, perhaps to help him think or fulfill favors.

But regarding your snippet, Izayoi would find Homura and, in parallel to Game of Memory, he would ask her if she was suffering in her final moments. But the smile on her face would say otherwise. Because in her last moments she finally felt free from her interal fight. She finally finds closure and dies happy.
