Summary:
Miranda is uncharacteristically uncomfortable in her clothes and her body, shying away from James when he attempts to comfort her.
(Miranda is genderfluid, and after an evening filled with dysphoria decides to tell James, who is so full of love for his Hamiltons).
 James saw Thomas repeatedly throw her worried glances, a question in his eyes, only for Miranda to smile and shake her head minutely. Frowning, James studied her. James had precious little knowledge of women’s fashion, but he knew enough know to see she was wearing a softer jump as opposed to her usual stiff, shaping stay; she was curiously bundled up, with a handkerchief around her neck covering her chest, and another scarf hanging off her elbows which she frequently gripped and huddled into, as if she wanted to hide herself. James could feel his jaw tensing in worry as he observed Miranda, how she smiled politely but never engaged in conversation, how she kept as away from the light as possible.
