The whole HQ is peacefully asleep. Except for two members in particular. Sombra still has her eyes perfectly open, staring at the ceiling. Words, phrases and images run through her mind in a loop.


   Reaper's words about Amélie run in a loop in Sombra's head. Is she really attracted, in love, with Amélie ? Sombra rubs her face multiple times to make these words go away. 


   And it brings up the images of Amélie, completely naked, in front of her in the bathroom earlier in the day. This thought causes Sombra's cheeks to ignite instantly. It could only happen, all the attention that Amélie gives her, they spend their days together every day, they argue every day, they tease every day. They work together and live together. That could only happen.


   The fact that Amélie shows new emotions and feelings day to day, makes Sombra feel feelings that are still unknown for her. An enormous feeling of compassion, a kind of love.

   For Amélie, the night is not so "beautiful". In bed, alone and asleep, Amélie still suffers her usual nightmares. She moves her head in her sleep, as if she's struggling and trying to get rid of these bad thoughts and these horrible nightmares. Her memories of her conditioning and torture loop through her thoughts when the time for sleep comes.


   Amélie's eyebrows are frown and formed of anger and fear that she feels every night deep inside her. All of a sudden she wakes up and straightens her upper body and to release a sigh filled with fear, as if she had just come out of the water, about to drown. She looks down, breathing uncontrollably, and looks around her room. It was all a dream, a terrible nightmare.


   She is terrified, tired and breathless. She needs reassurance and to calm down. Her instinct guides her out of bed, and leads her to Sombra's room. She walks slowly through the hallway, barefoot, towards Sombra's room. She stands in the frame of her bedroom door, afraid to wake Sombra, she realizes that she is still awake, immersed in a holo-screen in her bed.

   Sombra immediately notices a presence and notices Amélie at her door.
