The sound of an alarm broke through the silence, its droning causing a figure to toss and turn in bed in annoyance.
"Just a few more minutes mom." A husky voice called out.
Yet there was no reply, nor did the alarm stop.
The figure sat up in a huff, looking like a bear who had just emerged from hibernation. Her hair was frizzy and out of place and she seemed confused, yet there was an obvious sign of annoyance on her features.
With practiced movements, her hand chopped down on the digital alarm, killing the sound and possibly doing some damage to its internal structure.
There was a moment of indecision as Ai decided whether she would lay back down or get out of bed. She looked at the clock which said 5am and had a heated internal debate.
In the end, her conscience won out and she got up off the bed with a sigh.
