[ A part of Ibuki's mind doesn't want to sleep quite yet, exhaustion be damned. Maybe it's the piece of him closer to (but not quite) a Vector, the instinct to be lonely for people. Despite everything that's happened since then, the warmth here makes him feel even more at ease than he was last week. Maybe he really misses taking outdoor naps that much. Or perhaps being around Shigaraki, someone who he's come to an understanding with, is that calming for him. Could be a little of both, says one of his last conscious thoughts.
(A young girl's voice implores him to think harder on this, that there's more to it. He tells her she doesn't have to worry about him now, so please smile. It'll be all right.)
But he cannot win against his exhaustion for much longer. So before he drifts off to sleep, he lightly squeezes Shigaraki's hand once more. ]
G'night.
[ The words are hardly audible, but it's out there, enough to be discernible to someone close by. And right at that very moment, before his thoughts cut off, he's just happy he managed to reply in time. Simple as that. ]
