Mei and Hanzo both don’t sleep very well. After been sleeping for nearly ten years and discovering the death of her team upon awakening, it’s been very difficult for Mei to ever truly settle back down into the pattern of a restful sleep. Both she and Hanzo suffer from intense nightmares, sometimes turning into full night terrors. Hanzo dreams vividly of the day he struck down his brother and the guilt from being the only one to survive Eco-point Antarctica continues to haunt Mei.

Thus, the pair don’t sleep often, or at least very long. They attempt but most of the time, it just doesn’t work out. This is one of the things that helps them get closer, as strange as it is. One night, the two bump into one another, Mei holding a steaming cup of tea while Hanzo walks around in an attempt to get tired and sleep from exhaustion. They don’t talk about their experiences but it’s nice to have someone up while everyone else is asleep. She offers him tea – he accepts and they sit in comfortable silence.

When Mei first discovers Hanzo’s attempt to murder his brother, it breaks a lot of her trust in him. Truthfully, she’s scared and she wonders just what kind of person he really is. He seems rather passive, as passive as a mercenary can be. And she’s never sensed anything ‘off’ about him. But murder is murder. Hanzo confessed his crime to her, wanting to be honest and while it hurts him to see her look at him with a sort of fear and disdain, he knows he can’t blame her. The two don’t talk for a while afterward, with the two parting ways. Mei returns to work with Winston at Gibraltar and Hanzo continues his wandering, trying to perfect his skills. The solitude eats away at Hanzo, this time not self-imposed, while Mei finds herself conflicted from missing Hanzo but wondering if she ever really knew him at all.

Hanzo has never really been interested in more carnal affairs, no matter what sort of stereotypes people have of him. Mei, too, has been more interested in her scientific and scholarly work than to spend time on more physical pleasures. But when things grow more serious between the two, it feels right for them. Hanzo admits his attraction for her and Mei replies in kind. Intimacy starts out a bit slow for them, shyness and worries somewhat interfering, but eventually molds into passionate couplings, not too frequent, but most enjoyable every time.
