Sam hadn't even hesitated in opening herself up and it was her that couldn't bear it. Too raw the feeling of... of... relinquishing herself? The loss of self? The pain wracking her thoughts had almost felt... The thought escapes her. Or maybe she doesn't want to risk the feeling of despair that lurks beneath it resurfacing. And if she gives in to that then she really doesn't think she'll be alright.

Too hesitant to push Sam away and in return... Miriam grits her teeth and stands up straight, determination hardening her face as she stares the way Sam had left...
