In that case perhaps the post might be edited to avoid the word "squirm", that word having previously been mostly used in the context of Mysterious Feelings.

Haha. I have no idea how I missed that. "Singleplayer Related Activities." Heh. I like that wording.

She's thinking over her Mysterious Feelings in the post, though, so surely the word directly relates...?

But after her internal monologue became opaque to the narration, she was squirming in her blankets while not falling asleep. That's a bit more specific.

Oh, hmm. I don't think I interpreted that the same way you did, or I would've recalled it more clearly.

The exact words are "She squirms under the covers.", plus context.

Aha. Yeah, I think that read to me as a verb of motion indicating the manner in which she entered the beneath-covers area.
