Once again Miriam finds herself doing her best to avoid running into Sam, though she's a little less focused on it this time around. Maybe she doesn't care as much anymore or maybe it's just because on some level she wants Sam to find her and she's just trying to avoid any chance of running into Sam and having her be the one to ignore Miriam. If there's one thing Miriam excels at it's hurting others before she gets hurt herself. So now she's spending her time eating dinner behind the med center, sitting on some utility box, leaning against the wall and using a mostly empty styrofoam box as an ashtray. It almost feels a little nostalgic, if there's any way to see her time at Muir in a positive light. At the very least it feels familiar to avoid contact with others by hiding in a place like this.
But this time she's not flailing to push stray thoughts of others away. She's picked this place for a different reason. From here she can reach some of the few seriously ill people that have been transferred to the facility. Something about a program that two young mutants are helping out with. Miriam doesn't really care about the details. Only that due to it two comatose patients are being treated in the infirmary and that she's been spending her time making mental contact with them, feeling out their faint consciousness and telling herself that she's keeping them company, even though they're not really aware of her. Mostly she's just going through their memories though, tracing out their lives in a thinly veiled attempt to escape her own for a while.
