[Late at night of Day 43 into the very early morning of Day 44, Donnie may feel the faintest, tiniest brush of ninpo before it's gone. Did he dream it? Likely.]
[Donnie has been going to bed early because of mystic use.]
[What he didn't tell Leo: He doesn't usually stay asleep the whole night. The stress of being here has only made the nightmares worse.]
[He was staring at the ceiling, in that groggy half asleep state where he knows he should sleep but afraid of falling right into the nightmare if he sleeps now.]
[There is a brush of Ninpo-]
[He sighs softly, leans into that feeling, opening himself up to it in case it's contact, but the reminder of warmth, of something that isn't cold burning digging temptation pulling him under again.]
