Esme wanted to shatter that glass and let him out. But he didn't want that or for Dawn to be infected because of his presence. Esme didn't want Lorna's daughter or Andy to suffer at all. But it was painful to watch Andy be stuck in a transparent room where she could only watch him suffer from the illness till it was finally out of his system.

Andy had been infected with a horrifying virus designed to tear apart young mutants from the inside out. If Andy had been a year younger he'd be coughing up blood along with parts of his lung. In the last three weeks the mutant adolescent death count was in the hundreds. Older mutants at the age of sixteen and older are able to fight it off and get it out of their system on varying amounts of time. But during that time they're extremely contagious and in a lot of pain.

Esme watched Andy volunteer to be isolated to prevent Dawn from catching it. There were other options but this was the only one that would have a hundred percent chance of Dawn never coming into contact. When it was over and only then would he be allowed out, and have any clothes he wore burned.

Esme could feel his loneliness and feel his pain. Coughs made him stumble and a couple in a row actually made him fall. He wasn't able to communicate with anybody in the room or do anything.

She placed her hands on the glass speaking telepathically.' Andy you acted like a hero. Lorna appreciated your sacrifice, Sage did, everyone does.  You are one still because our top doctors analyzing your blood samples and it seems like you are the cure. When people tried to exterminate us, by turning kids into bioweapons you stepped up. I love you for it. And I promise you, I'll tear apart the human who created this plague. And when you've I'll be the one letting you out of there. And we're going to make up for lost time. '

Andy held up a shaky hand on his side of the glass and grinned.
