"Hey, what're ya praying for exactly now, Miriam?" Manny seemed unamused. First Karen's sudden lewdness, and now Miriam.
"Shhh." Miriam let go of her cross for a moment. "I'm praying to the Lord, can't you see that?" She seemed unamused by being pulled right out of it.
"Hmm, you know, Manny's right." Karen followed. "We're just having some fun. I know it's way too religious where you're from, but come on. It's fun to talk about weird stuff out of the blue."
"Sorry," Miriam looked even more concerned, "but I don't think we should talk about... those kinds of things that openly. Please keep it with your spouses at least, I- sorry, most of us don't need to know."
Franco was still petting his pets when he noticed Miriam in a sort of defensive position. It didn't take long for him to start speaking. "I'm not sure it's you, but you don't seem to be helping."
"Help with what exactly? A witch hunt? Come on guys, we're better than this." Most of you couldn't see her face slightly twitching from the sudden attention. "So what if there's two anime girls making unsubstantiated claims about Stuart blackmailing us? Is it worth all that attention?"
"Why do you make me want to THINK? Stay in your lane, nun!" Sam interrupted.
"Miriam, is something up?" Johan chimed in. "You seem woefully nervous. Are you hiding something? Perhaps, you're one of these two girls? I won't hold it against you if you just admit it, but this isn't you."
"You...you...why are you doing this?" Miriam seemed almost on the verge of a breakdown, and Johan's remarks were enough to put her on the edge. Hiding? This isn't her? Seeing her react to these words by clutching her head, Johan had a hunch he's right.
"Oh, right. I remember." Nikolay's thick accent boomed through the chat. "I don't know how I forgot, but I remember now. Sam's wrong, you're not a nun."
Miriam loosened up for a second. "Huh? Why, yes, I never said I'm a nun or anything."
"You're right. I remember that time I went to the nightclub." Nikolay crossed his arms behind his head. "I drank too much vodka that night, I know I know, that's so Russian of me. But then I saw someone I knew too well."
"Aha...ahahahahaha-" Miriam nervously laughed. It felt as if she kept up a facade, and it was about to shatter. "A nightclub!? Are you crazy? I've never been to one!" The twitching on her face was becoming a little too visible.
"Yes you have!" Nikolay shouted. "In a succubus getup, no less!"
"What the hell...? A succubus?" Stuart opened his eyes wide. "Isn't that one of these demons? I've kinda had the feeling something's off about you, but I never knew what."
"Does anyone seriously believe that guy!? Ahahaha, that's what happens when you drink too much vodka!" Miriam's crazed expression gave the impression that she was trying too hard to prove her innocence, and failing at it subsequently.
"Well, you're not giving me much reason to believe YOU, Miriam." Karen retorted.
"Yes," Joey shrugged, "you're making his story sound more believable by the second, vodka aside."
"Oh, and you tried to sweettalk me into spending a night with you." Nikolay continued. "I still remember the scent of your perfumes, the way and tone you spoke with. But I was too drunk to understand what you were trying."
"That must've been..." Miriam stammered, unable to find anything to retort with. "I... you're wrong."
"It's fine." Nikolay smiled. "You can drop the act now. It's okay to be who you really are."
Miriam broke into tears, as she lightly banged her head on the desk.. "I'm not your shitty anime accounts! Leave me the fuck alone you assholes!"
Nearly the whole group was shocked to see Miriam swearing with her own tongue, and that's without even accounting for the fact her facade has shattered in ways she never expected. She never expected it to break... by doing literally nothing. Yet she attracted attention for that specific reason.
"Well, fuck yourself first." Natsuko chimed in, seemingly unamused as always. "But I bet you do that every night anyway." Natsuko grinned.
"Uhh, Natsuko, poor girl doesn't need you putting your brand of salt on the wound, you know." Joey glared at the hotheaded Americanified Japanese.
"Grrrr... fine, sorry." Natsuko turned her head away, as if to keep her pride from being hurt (it was never at stake).

Later that day, Miriam handed her resignation letter to Stuart's assistant, Price Terrance. For Price, it was a first for her - seeing the Egyptian lady named after Virgin Mary without the cross she never took off. "Did something happen?"
Miriam turned her head towards the window, looking sorrowfully at the sky. "I decided I'm gonna live in another state and move on from life here."
"Well," Price picked up the resignation letter, "good luck. Just be careful, okay?" It seemed as if Price intuitively understood what Miriam was up to.
Miriam turned back to Price, with a soft, forced giggle. "I can only hope for the best now."
