He'll take it.

She doesn't fall asleep for the remainder of the night either, even if means she'll be tired the next day.

The shift change comes as usual.

She knows, this isn't the first time she's been awake now after all.

"I hear you got out of bed last night," Mikko remarks, when she emerges.

Eefa nods.

"Is your bed uncomfy, or were you just restless?"

What sort of question is that.

She stares by way of a response.

"Usually if somebody doesn't sleep straight through from bedtime to morning, something's the matter."

"The... matter?"

"I mean, something's keeping them from sleeping well, something's bothering them."

Eefa settles on staring blankly to convey that she does not want help with her sleep.

"Is there something you wanted to do in the middle of the night? Did you want to stretch your legs, or get water, or go to the bathroom?"

"I want to be awake."

"Amentans can't be awake all the time. We'll be sad and unhealthy if we don't get plenty of sleep through the night."

Eefa doesn't say anything but she's clearly tense, worrying about whether Mikko is going to try to force her to sleep.

"If you need to be awake at night we should tell the night shift orange what to expect."

"That I'll be awake at night?"

"If you're going to want to be up and about, are you going to want him to read you books? Are you going to want to eat then? Are you going to want a movie on?"

Eefa thinks very carefully.

"Eat what?"

Is it drugged food, she doesn't ask.

"...a midnight snack? There isn't a usual meal for the middle of the night, since we generally eat during the day, so if you're hungry as well as wakeful we'd need to ask the night shift orange to make you something to eat."

"I have my own food."

"I know you keep food in your room. It's not a good habit, though. Bedrooms don't have ways to keep things cold and sealed up, so if you do it too much, bugs can notice, or mold can grow, and then the food isn't good any more. Some foods are better than others to keep in your room. I think you've liked those individually wrapped cheese crackers, those would be relatively okay if you ate neatly."

"It's my food."

She crouches a little, attempting to position herself between Mikko and the room protectively.

"We will give you food every day. You can also keep some snacks in your room if they are stored so pests can't eat them. We're going to have cleaners in to check for that, and while they're cleaning, you can look at snacks on the grocery site with me, and pick out some things that you'd like as room snacks."
