An appropriate rest moment for this expansion as I would have pictured it would have been things like setting up camp at different levels of the Lunar Subterrain as was done in FFIV: the After Years in between boss fights. As for a specific sequence set in Sharlayan, I would have firstly omitted the existence of The Last Stand or the various University Living elements found in the city state in favor of something that gives off a more foreboding sense of tension. I may have changed the city itself from a hub to a hostile zone or even a dungeon.

Underneath a red sky, I would have the party camp out on the stony shores of the beach after emerging from a cavern connected to Labyrinthos, likely after having confronted a major threat in the zone before moving on to deal with the Sharlayan Forum. I would have substituted burgers for either canned goods retrieved from Labyrinthos or a freshly killed animal roasted over a fire, and rather than a cheery attitude the party would be more visibly shaken and emotionally vulnerable, which is the key to really being put in a situation where one must overcome overwhelming despair.
