Pb: Sem energia, como poderia mostrar sua nova tecnologia?
En: Without power, how could he showcase his new technology?

Pb: Ele mexia desesperado em fios e tomadas, tentando, em vão, reanimar o sistema.
En: He was desperately fiddling with wires and sockets, trying, in vain, to revive the system.

Pb: Renato parou, observando a situação.
En: Renato paused, observing the situation.

Pb: Com o coração acelerado, percebeu que precisava de outra abordagem.
En: With a racing heart, he realized he needed another approach.

Pb: Não eram as luzes brilhantes ou as tecnologias modernas que fariam sua foto única.
En: It wasn't the bright lights or modern technologies that would make his photo unique.

Pb: Era o que permanecia mesmo na escuridão: as pessoas, suas reações e emoções.

Pb: Enquanto a multidão começava a se adaptar ao apagão, algo mágico aconteceu.
En: As the crowd began to adapt to the blackout, something magical happened.

Pb: Alguém começou a cantar uma música de Nat
