“Good night.” A note of relief that he’s being allowed to rest. The lamp getting turned off and the darkness surrounding them. Though he is left with his own thoughts as the familiar silence descends. Thoughts he didn’t much like entertaining these days as he ruminates over the conversation.

Eventually though, Ben drifts off into sleep. Though even then he would find no reprieve as the nightmares then come. The man tossing and turning at various points in the night. Occasionally muttering to himself along with a whimper now and then.
