Hera does the same. Even as the voices below them fade, even as the lights go out again. The red glow is back, burning brighter than it had before.
When the lights go out, Hera does turn, silently rolling back onto the mat, turning over until she faces him again. She still doesn't speak, just watches him, tension growing once more in her shoulders as they're literally left in the near dark. Waiting to know for sure.
The first good sign comes when there's a loud shudder through the whole of the crawler, and once more, the now familiar thump sounding around them. They're moving forward again.
The second is when their door slides open again. Tsedec says a single word. Safe.
