Shadow Nico: Go to sleep, Nico.
Nico: I can’t, I’m working.
Shadow Nico: Go to sleep, Nico.
Nico: I’m almost done! Just let me send out a couple more emails.
Shadow Nico: Go to sleep, Nico.
Nico: You’re not the boss of me. You are tempting me with indulgence. Sleep is a luxury I cannot afford.
Shadow Nico: Go to sleep, Nico.
Nico: I get enough sleep. Ok, well I’m usually tired, but I drink coffee to get away with that. It helps. I feel better for a little bit. And I feel tired later, but not sleepy. There’s at least that survival technique.
