In the meantime, he picks a song that feels right, one that can loop endlessly into mindless noise, and hopefully soothe any nightmares away.]

[ With the little strength she has to remain conscious, Fio displays the faintest hint of a smile, finally feeling safe enough to allow herself to doze off. As much as she wants to keep listening, rest is desperately needed. She listens for a short while, before eventually letting down her focus, the humming turning into a calming white noise. It won't be a surprise when she starts humming the same song on another day...

In several minutes, she finally drifts off into complete silence with nothing but her relaxed breathing. The nightmares aren't going to stop, but at least she can have this single night of peaceful sleep. ]
