Miranda?!

Miranda's standing out in the open, arms dangling at her sides, looking like a fish out of water. She's still got a pretty tired face, but her legs are supporting her body, so it's not as bad as this morning.

"Miranda!" You wave a big overhead wave as you walk up to her. "What are you doing in here?"

Miranda looks at you, bagged eyes widening, and apparently awake enough to be back to her normal self-conscious self. Everything comes with a price.

"N-Nurse Riley said I was, erm...." She looks at the floor, and shuffles her feet. "Nurse Riley said I was too tired to keep working on my combat pill design today, after I slept through first period."

"And second!"

"Y-yeah...." She gulps, then looks back up to you. But not at your eyes. You think it's your chin she's looking at. Well, whatever keeps her nerves in check! "S-so, I thought.... I'd come here to observe. Observe stuff. And see how it feels to be in here. So far....." She looks around the Gym again. ".....Not good. Th-that guy doesn't even have a shirt on......"

Oh. Well that's not good, if she's not feeling like she belongs. Ignoring the fact that just a second ago you were thinking how weird it is that she's in here, that is. Hopefully she doesn't stay that way!

"Hey, Miran-" You start, but she looks like she's in a trance. Her mouth is even hanging open, and you think you spot a bit of drool in the corner...... you follow her gaze and see that her eyes are pretty much glued to Newton right now, as he presses {if NewtonTalk == True}that os..osm..... no, you don't remember. But he's lifting it.{else}some weights.{endif} Testingly, you raise one of your hands to just in front of Miranda's face, and snap your fingers.

"Ah!" She starts. "Hello! S-sorry, what did you say?"

.........You give her a smouldering glare. You didn't like that. Newton is not an object, and he should not be treated like one. Maybe it would be better if Miranda stuck to home workouts.

"......Debbie?"

"Watch yourself, Miranda." You say, turning on your heel and walking back out into the Gym.

"Debbie???"
