Sleep is for the weak
Who: Mio and Tommy
What: Mio's refusing to GO TO SLEEP ALREADY
Where: Camping spot
When: The night after the wishing well situation
Warnings/Notes: Referenced murder/sacrifice and curses
Mio might not have bonded with anyone just yet, but that doesn't mean she doesn't come with her own set of labels: she is the strong twin, the brave twin, and the responsible twin all in one package. A package that completely loses meaning in absence of her twin sister,especially since she herself murdered her but it's not like she can let go of these traits, for practical reasons.
Yes, there we go, there are practical reasons to stay awake, it's because she has the weapon to protect her teammates. Not everyone can use the Camera Obscura, some have been driven to madness by it. So she can't let that happen to anyone.
Also, the curse of the Sleeping Priestess had her fall into a coma before she was brought on the Rig - come to think about it, she didn't sleep for that couple of days either -, so she is technically afraid to sleep because if she falls into a coma again the functioning of rest of the team will be impaired, certainly not because she's afraid of ghosts punishing her for what she's done.
Why would she be afraid? She's 16, but she grew up fast, that makes her an adult and adults know better than to be scared.
"AAH!"
She instinctively grabs the Camera Obscura and shoots whatever it is that she heard moving...Which turns out to be Tommy.
"Oh, it's you." she puts the camera down, showing horrible dark circles under her eyes "You startled me."

She is that tired. Eventually, her legs are tired too and she sits on the ground.
"Do you think it's possible that the effect of the curse may stop in this dimension?"
She tries to sound neutral, but it's clear that she's begging to go to sleep.

Tommy offers her his hand. "C'mon, I can carry you back to camp. I've got a pillow if you want to borrow it."

Also less chance of anyone farting in anyone else’s general face.
“Yeah. I’d do that for you. If I wouldn’t do it, I’d just keep my mouth shut, and you wouldn’t even know it was an option” Tommy starts walking towards the camp. “Do me a favor and let me know if you see any really bad roots coming up. I can see where I’m going, but not my feet.”
