[Sothis turned away slightly, her expression creasing into a wary frown. She trusted Claude about as far as he could thro... oh, no, she didn't. She could throw him pretty far, thinking on it. Fine. As far as Claude could throw her. There was also the fact that Claude was just a flimsy little human, and there were some freaks in this chamber who would definitely be able to overpower him. Sothis and Byleth will be vulnerable if the physical body was asleep.]

Additionally, considering her memories leading up to her waking up within Byleth... it was obvious she had died in her sleep somehow. While she didn't fear sleep as a result, it did leave her intensely paranoid about just dumping her vessel unconscious in an open area filled with hostiles. If she died like that she'd be so furious she'd defy reality and physically manifest in this chamber to kill everyone.]
