Part 217: Miriel C

....

Miriel? Why are you gritting your teeth and staring at me like that?

Because the moment I avert my eyes, I lose sight of you. Even when you don't attempt to hide, you simply disappear into thin air. It is a most perplexing puzzle.

It's true that I blend into the background sometimes...

But it makes no logical sense. That suit of armor you wear reflects sunlight like a mirror. Not to mention the novel nature of its oversizedness.

I think I just lack presence is all.

By which you mean you are unassertive, laconic and a man of few words? There must be more to it than that. Science abhors an incomplete explanation. Hmm... Hmmmmm...

Um, can you stop staring at me like that? It's creeping me out a little.

But you are such a fascinating subject for observation. Think of all we can learn from you! If I were able to study you some how...

I think I'm going to go now...*vanishes*

...Fascinating.
