Was she asleep?
Was it somnolence?
Ignorance perhaps?
No, she was gone because she knew that if she revealed and opened her eyes and removed the shielding glasses, she would be drowned,

hurt,
slaughtered
by the violent,
raging,
vehement,
violating,
insistent,
judgmental,
dominant,
repulsive,
abusive,
despoiling sun.
