"Alice, wake up," Ryder said as he tried to wake up Alice, who seemed to be lost in a deep sleep.
He even tried shaking her to wake her up, ultimately breaking her sleep.
"Huh? Are doctors here? Wait, I'll eat that pill right now," Alice said as she sat up. She couldn't help but run her eyes that were barely opening as she was still so sleepy.
"You don't need to take that pill anymore. We're not going with an excuse. We're leaving openly," Ryder told Alice. "Get prepared. We're going to Japan."
"What? What happened to the old plan? And why are we suddenly going to Japan?" Alice asked as the shock made her open her sleepy eyes.
"I have something important to do in Japan. It suddenly came up. Since I don't want to leave you behind, I'm taking you with me," Ryder told Alice. "Not get up and get ready. The tickets are booked. We'll leave from here."
Alice nodded as she got off the bed.
