As Elleru sings, Rey doesn't shift, or speak. She's lies still, drinking in that voice, unaware of the changes their source had to make in order to translate. It doesn't matter. It keeps her grounded to this present moment for the time being, and that's all she needs.
For a fleeting moment, it seems all right to just forget... When she does move, it's to take Elleru's hand that's been combing through her own hair--
"It's beautiful," she exhales, not moving to stop Elleru from what she was doing, but to bring those fingers to her own scarred cheek. Her response isn't just to the song.
