In the end, Kat did manage to get some sleep… well it was meditation, but Kat was more than willing to accept that as 'real sleep' now that it seemed to be her only option. Her mind was able to more easily wrap itself around the problem, and even though she couldn't think about it directly, Kat would wake up more sure of herself than before. She may not have yet reached an answer, but Kat now felt that she could live with whatever she did choose in the end. Only time would tell if these assumptions proved true.
When Kat woke up, she dusted herself off and jumped down to Xiang, abusing her exceptional vision to take a look at his wound without bothering to ask. Kat knew it would save her some time and attention. To her surprise, it was mostly healed. The cut in Xiang's outfit was still present, confirming that he did in fact only have one outfit, and through that gap Kat could see fresh pink skin.
