[Onni watches with a sort of grim fascination as the thing turns back into Nikolai, the scars slowly pulling back until they're only on Nikolai's hands again. He slumps, relaxes, goes boneless on the bed then, and Onni allows him to sleep naturally for a while in case he's exhausted from a lack of sleep. Onni is feeling exhausted himself, and he dozes off sitting up against the wall again, allowing both of them to catch up on their sleep a little.
But eventually he wakes, and crosses the room, still a little groggy, to start taking the chains off of Nikolai with careful hands. If it wakes the other man, he's not too concerned, considering they've both gotten probably a couple of hours of real sleep unencumbered by the monster.
When Nikolai's eyes open, Onni offers him a half-smile and finishes taking the chains off without a word at first. Once the other man is free, he steps back and nods at him.]

What do you call it? That thing you turn into?
