Richard's alarm blared next to his bed, but he remained asleep, undisturbed by the sound. He was lying peacefully, seemingly in a deep slumber, oblivious to the noise.
Suddenly, Sara, who had been watching him for a moment, decided it was time to intervene. She approached Richard's bed and started shaking him gently. "Richard, get up! Something came up in the command center and we have to be there quick."
"Mhmhmhmmm…" Richard grumbled in protest, his words muffled and unclear. He was clearly struggling to wake up fully.
Sara, showing a hint of impatience, insisted, "Richard, this is urgent. We can't afford to be late." Her tone was firm, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
