Dreamless sleep, or at least not remembering the dreams after, is one unknown benefit of losing too many memories.
It hadn't taken her that long to actually lie across the bed, rest the left side of her head into the pillow, and close her eyes. X being there had helped, but there was little more her body could do, and she could at least be moderately certain she wouldn't set the unmoved bed sheets on fire.
It's several hours, and maybe a couple of IV changes before Elle, having been entirely still her sleep, shifts slightly – she rolls onto her back, and then back to her left side.
After another moment, her eyes open.

Obtaining paperwork, derailing pursuit, permanently discouraging people from getting ideas --
This is Elle. Of course X will help.

But she does move to lean entirely into X's shoulder. Even if it's for the second time tonight.
Maybe it will work, instead.
