Miriam tries to disregard the scratched out pieces, instead searching the room until she finds an unused piece of paper and a pencil. She's not a great artist and if this was a real piece of paper that might be an issue, but her mind's eye is excellent and there are enough examples around her to pull from. She sits down at one of the desks and begins sketching. The smiling mask is peering down at the paper as her hand moves the pen across the paper while the wailing mask seems to aimlessly stare at the ceiling. Slowly she creates the image of a small sparrow, losing track of time more than being in a mindscape already plays with the perception of such until she finally puts down the pencil and the other mask swivels around to look at the finished sketch. She slowly gets up, only now beginning to wonder if this was a good idea.
She pulls her robes tightly around herself until her frame diminishes more and more as she withdraws from Alex' mind. In the real world her eyes suddenly snap open as she draws in a sudden, gasping breath of air.
