[with the panic subsided, and the pain medication allowed to take hold, healing is an exhausting process. it was always fixed so quickly, she had forgotten how tedious it could be. the movements quelled, so the pain allowed to die down, at least dulled enough to sleep with. warmth, reassurance. no heavy hands on her shoulders, but holding hers, so that she might know where they stand. protected, not in some glass cage, but more like a cocoon, allowed to mend.
it's definitely the drugs, but she feels safe in a way that she usually felt when she was falling asleep next to Subaru.]
Sleep as much as you need, I'll be here watching over you.
[ as a doctor, and one with a helping hand. as the creature that lurks in the night, and someone who can mend every problem that she's having at the moment— he is a savior, but he is also the common man. he can be whatever she needs at the moment while she rests, and he reminds her before she dozes that he will always be by her side. for better or for worse. ]
Not one dream will plague you while you're here.
