If it helps, I can vouch for the fact she did make an appearance -- even talked. I think she might be a little suspicious of me too, but to be honest I tend to see that as the appropriate initial response to "adult whose job it is to get into your head and also happens to have telepathy".
The thing is, Adrienne is sort of right about the "typical teenaged mindset" thing -- I get the sense that for Karolina the situation is less about being at Xavier's in particular and more about not being at home with her family. Considering the circumstances a lot of the students and staff have come from, it's not too hard to underestimate how potent homesickness can be. Especially after something like what happened in Manhattan, which really did shake her up pretty badly.
I'll work with her. She does feel a little persecuted, but I think she's still too close to the situation to differentiate the frustration of not being able to do anything for her from actual dislike. Hopefully we'll be able to reach a little perspective there, though.
But for the moment I'll settle for her keeping her cell on her, too.
