Have you written up to the part where he is listening to radio, right before the announcement? If so, would you mind posting a snippet so that we can see the mood you have set? That way it might be a little simpler to see how the transition might/could be.

Clicking his finger against the button of the remote, he scurried to find something interesting, but alas it did not come. ![]() |
