One of my big bits of head!canon about Mai post-series, right after the bit about her getting to have wild adventures, is that she learns to open up a little. She's one of my favorite characters, and it's hard to write her having a bad time. She's also just realizing now that she's lost them how much she still felt for them, not a fun place to be.
