Story Transcript:
Sl: Mateja je stala na robu propadle Ljubjane.
En: Mateja stood on the edge of a fallen Ljubjana.
Sl: Jesenski veter ji je mršil lase.
En: The autumn wind tousled her hair.
Sl: Listje je bilo povsod, rdeče in rumeno, pokrivalo je opustele ulice.
En: Leaves were everywhere, red and yellow, covering the desolate streets.
Sl: Pred njo razpadli zidovi, ki so nekoč bili lepi domovi in trgovine, zdaj tihi spomeniki preteklosti.
En: Before her were crumbling walls that were once beautiful homes and stores, now silent monuments of the past.
Sl: Ta kraj je bil nekoč živahen, zdaj pa je bil le senca svojega nekdanjega sijaja.
En: This place was once vibrant, but now it was just a shadow of its former glory.
Sl: Tukaj je nazadnje videla svojega brata, Tomaža.
En: It was here that she last saw her brother, Tomaž.
Sl: Mateja se je spomnila njunega zadnjega prepira.
En: Mateja remembered their last argument.
Sl: Ko so besede padale, ni mislila, da ga bo izgubila.
En: When words were exchanged, she didn't think she would lose him.
Sl: Zdaj jo je gnala krivda.
En: Now, guilt drove her.
Sl: Morala ga je najti.
En: She had to find him.
Sl: S seboj ni imela veliko – nož, zemljevid in majhen nahrbtnik z nekaj zalogami.
En: She didn't have much with her—a knife, a map, and a small backpack with some supplies.
Sl: Njena volja je bila močna.
En: Her resolve was strong.
Sl: Ni vedela, kakšne nevarnosti jo čakajo, a vedela je, da mora naprej.
En: She didn't know what dangers awaited her, but she knew she had to move forward.
Sl: Počasi se je premikala skozi porušene zgradbe.
En: She moved slowly through the ruined buildings.
Sl: Zvok oblik odjekne iz daljave.
En: The sound of shapes echoed from afar.
Sl: Scavengerji, plenilci, pred katerimi so jo svarili.
En: Scavengers, predators they had warned her about.
Sl: Mateja se je skrila za kosom betona in strmela v pepelnato nebo, medtem ko so se glasovi oddaljili.
En: Mateja hid behind a piece of concrete and stared at the ashen sky while the voices faded.
Sl: Njeno srce je divje bilo.
En: Her heart was pounding fiercely.
Sl: Vedela je, da ni veliko časa.
En: She knew there wasn't much time.
Sl: Želela je priti na drugo stran, kjer je bil Tomaž nazadnje viden.
En: She wanted to get to the other side where Tomaž was last seen.
Sl: Ko je prišla do zgradbe, o kateri so ji povedali znanci, je bilo že prepozno popoldne.
En: When she reached the building her acquaintances had told her about, it was already late in the afternoon.
Sl: Sonce se je spustilo in jesen se je preobrazila v hladno večer.
En: The sun had set and autumn had transformed into a cold evening.
Sl: Pred zgradbo so postavali plenilci.
En: In front of the building, scavengers loitered.
Sl: Odločena, Mateja se je premaknila naprej.
En: Determined, Mateja moved forward.
Sl: Peščica listov je zašumel pod njenimi nogami.
En: A small rustle of leaves sounded beneath her feet.
Sl: Prignala se je do stranskega vhoda.
En: She darted to the side entrance.
Sl: Tu je morala biti hitra.
En: Here, she had to be quick.
Sl: Vstopila je v temno zgradbo.
En: She entered the dark building.
Sl: Notranjost je bila mračna in tiha, kot bi bila pozab
