[Miriam smiles a little for the camera, though she's tired and it doesn't have the same warmth that you might expect. She's hanging out in her new digs, one of the spire rooms. There are pillows everywhere and soft blankets and a large Rottweiler with his head in her lap.]

Uh, hey people. I was here before and then I wasn't, and now I'm here again. Weird, right?

Anyway, I just wanted to let people know that this dude is Barnaby. [She tilts the camera toward Barnaby. He grunts.] And he's my dude. So don't shoot him or you'll be really sorry. He won't be nice if you try anything.

[She smiles again.]

So, any of you with freaky voodoo powers? 'cause I could use some of that right 'bout now.

Sure thing, it's actually a fun little technique... If you don't mind getting a little splashed that is.

[ Will smiled, until the comment about doing it one handed. Just what had happened to her when she went back home? Will started to fear the worst. ]

You can. It's no big deal if you use one or two hands... How come you asked?

I don't mind!

[It sounds kinda fun, and she wants to learn how to do new things.

Her smile wavers a little. He's going to find out eventually, so...

Yeah.

She unzips her jacket just enough to show where she's hiding her stump, tucked up against her chest.]

I, uh. Kinda had a bad day.

[ It really was a fun technique. Even Winston was getting good at it!

Will swallows, already fearing the worst and his mind racing with worry for the girl. Hadn't she had enough to deal with?

As she unzipped her jacket and showed him her arm, or well, what was left of it Will felt a lump in his throat knot up. ]

Miriam... I'm sorry... If there's anything I can do, anything at all?...
