Miriam and Paige
Miriam found this whole other world fascinating. "Maybe some time you can show me a couple different spells? A sorcerer and witch one? I'm interested." How else could Miriam learn more?
"I'm doing okay. Thankfully my past relationship got sent home and a close friend from last time and I are getting close again. I'm back at my previous job, only this time I took up a space in the lab. They didn't know me from last time." That's the only reason Miriam surmised she hadn't worked there previously.
