Taka returns to her rested position lying on the bed. She closes her eyes, but sleep doesn't seem to come. There is too much to think about. After what seems like days of silent consideration, she finally commits herself to sleep.
She'll need the rest later.

Thessaly watches the others drifting off, and lies down on her own bed. Despite her tiredness, she has trouble sleeping a first, and asks the Grimoire to assume its full size so she can read a bit. With a whispered Light spell, she's soon under the covers (so as not to wake anyone else) reading chapters of incantations from the musty (some would say crusty) old tome...and in this fashion she falls asleep before the Light spell gutters and dies out even once.
Asuza started to undress for bed, but looked across the room at Kei and decided against it. They could at least have given us a change of clothing or something. As soon as her head hit the pillow, Asuza's fatigue evaporated and she found herself tossing and turning. She had never been able to sleep well in an unfamiliar place, and out here in another dimension was about as unfamiliar as it got. Not to mention the day's events and their implications, which played in her head like an endless film reel. Haru curled up into a ball at the foot of the bed and dozed off instantly, but Asuza fidgeted and stared up at the ceiling for hours before exhaustion finally took her into an uneasy sleep.

During the night, Taka and Kei have uneasy dreams about the day of their worlds' end.
Though she never cared for the world, she gets a strange feeling reliving it's destruction.
Kei on the other hand, is particularily effected by the dream. Visions of people panicing, trying to escape from the end of their world storm his mind, until the flash of light, and nothing. Through it, he feels a terrible presence, one that gives him a chill from it's... emptyness. Like a void trying to drain all emotion, all substance, until there is nothing left.
Then it's gone, and he lapses into dreamless sleep.
The other two manage to avoid the dreams.
In the morning, you are awoken by a knock on the door (although I expect Taka would be up already). Jaid's voice comes through the other end, "Hey, turns out I was assigned to get you guys up and to Zain. Not bad, huh? So come on out when you're ready, I'll wait here."

Feeling solemn from her nocturnal visions, Taka remains silent as she stands from her bed and walks toward the door. Having fallen asleep late and woken early, she hardly got any rest at all, and whatever enthusiasm she had the night before is dwindling.
An arm shoots out from the lump in the blankets where Thessaly sleeps, and gropes around for the pile of clothes on the floor beside it.
A little muffled by the covers, her voice calls, "Okay Jaid! Just...a second!"
Her blouse, then skirt, vanish under the covers, and there are great contortions from within them...as of some horrible monster undulating, waiting to be born. Or of someone trying to get dressed in a hurry under a blanket.
There's a thunk, and the voice of the book yelps, "Hey! Mind the tome! If you get dirt on me, I'll have to be oiled to retain my tough, yet supple flexibility."
"Sorry! Almost done!"
Finally, Thessaly pulls back the covers, disheveled but dressed. She pats the nightstand for her glasses and puts them on.
"Morning everyone!"
