Place this clip at the exact cut where the sleeper opens their eyes, then follow it immediately with a dun dun dun button sting for the reveal, or swap that second hit for an anime wow reaction when the scene is played for surprise instead of drama.

This is a short 3.8-second spoken clip of a voice delivering the French line 'Le dormeur doit se réveiller.' It feels solemn and ominous, like a prophecy being announced rather than a normal wake-up call for someone oversleeping. It comes from 'Le Dormeur' by Pleasure Game.
