Ultimately Potemkin causes his own undoing; the pressure from the rest of Ky's body and his head are too different (but not in an unpleasant way. Up here the cushioning is lighter and more feathery), and gradually the processes of the mind boot up over this issue. Potemkin's eyes open while he slowly gets to solving the first mystery of the day of how did he end up like this.

Then it comes back to him. Who is beside him. How close they had been last night.

Now fully awake, there is only one logical series of decisions. Potemkin promptly shuts his eyes again, brings up his arms to wrap in front of Ky (by far the most sudden movement of this morning), and leans even harder into Ky's hair.

"Good morning."
