The memories ripped her open, one by torturous one. She relived things she thought she'd gotten over a long time ago, right alongside the fresh horrors she'd seen here. As painful as it was, there was some sort of relief as well, that she found in finally allowing herself to grieve.

"It's okay. I've... I've got you," he said, trying to comfort her to the best of his ability.

After her mind had conjured up every horror she had endured she finally felt herself calming down, she had no idea how long she had wept. She slowly took in deep breaths as she felt the mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion settle into her bones.

Squall waited until she was completely worn out until he lifted her up in his arms and moved her to the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and laid down with her. But he kept a gun in his hand, just in case. His other arm was wrapped around her.

Esmeralda fell asleep quickly in his arms, her exhaustion finally overtaking her and she had her first deep sleep without nightmares since she'd come to this world.

Squall sighed as he looked down at her. "I'm sorry I wasn't there..." he said softly.

Squall leaned against her. It was nice to be with someone, even if it was just like this. It made things seem a little more like the way they were.

Esmeralda slept long into the next day, her wearied body and mind grateful for the rest. Even as she felt herself waking up, she groaned softly in protest.

Squall had dozed on and off throughout the night. Currently, he was out.

Esmeralda huddled closer to his body for warmth, and let herself sleep for a little longer as well.

Squall shifted in his sleep. Blearily he opened his eyes. "Esmeralda?" he questioned wearily.

Esmeralda curled closer to him, unconsciously responding to her name, and murmured softly in her sleep.

Squall shook himself awake. He looked down at her. His neck had gone stiff and he was sore from sleeping the way he did but she looked happy.

Esmeralda felt him shift and slowly opened her eyes. She tensed when she felt him at her back, before remembering who he was and what had happened. She turned to face him, "Sorry, for last night..."
