Char was terrified. She practically cried into sleep. But sleep, dark, night and all those things made no sense anymore. The Earth, forest and the meadows and wonderful creatures came to her in sleep only to haunt her in the vein of a nostalgic depression. There was no way back. There was no evasion.
