Jyn isn't expecting to get out alive – hasn't expected that for years – and the escape, the hyperspace jump, is a blur of adrenaline and pain. She doesn't realize until Bodhi collapses at the controls that he's bleeding too.

Cassian's hardly in better shape, but he catches her eye and says, "I'll fly if you keep him breathing." So she does – first aid on autopilot, but good enough to heal. He doesn't sleep until she curls up beside him.

Some time after, Cassian half-collapses onto their makeshift bed, arms around them both, eyes already closing. That's when she realizes they're safe.
