Mm.

[She doesn't lean into him but she's not pulling away either, closing her eyes with a soft exhale. Gotta finish. Be quick.]

So I had nightmares. I decided not to sleep anymore and that didn't work out so well, so I figured I'd just deal with it by getting some medicine to skip the dreaming part. That was a little bit before Sosyne.

After that... I still can't sleep that well, even now. Even if I'm getting all the hours I need, it feels like I haven't slept a wink. I didn't want anyone to worry - least of all you or Black - so I started doing anything I could to at least have a reason to be so tired in the first place. I guess that's the bright side of the whole destruction.

[Even if it, too, reminds her of the Great Collapse. Destruction just does.]

I still have the nightmares now and then, but it's not every night anymore. It'll go away. I'll be fine, just like how I was then. It just takes some time.

[... And she had it easier before, back in HL, because Black didn't see her every day, because she could twiddle her time away away from others, because Leo didn't exist in her life yet.]
