The relationship between the two characters has evolved into one where they rely on each other for sleep, making their intimacy less about pleasure and more about comfort. For her, the act of being with him is crucial; otherwise, she struggles to find rest alone in her small apartment. This connection, however, creates a sense of shame regarding her dependency on him for feelings of security and calmness at night.
He plays a significant role in her ability to drift off, using soothing stories and gentle words to soothe her. His presence is like a guiding force, leading her into a peaceful state as they transition into sleep together. Their bond takes on a unique dynamic, where his influence over her is almost magical, allowing her to feel at ease enough to surrender to sleep whenever he chooses to rest.
