Story Transcript:

Pb: Mateus e Ana estavam em São Paulo quando o chão começou a tremer.
En: Mateus and Ana were in São Paulo when the ground started to shake.

Pb: Era primavera, mas o dia estava nublado.
En: It was spring, but the day was overcast.

Pb: Eles estavam longe de qualquer família quando a terra os engoliu.
En: They were far from any family when the earth swallowed them.

Pb: Mateus nunca gostou de voltar para casa.
En: Mateus never liked going back home.

Pb: Era um engenheiro talentoso e levava a vida à sua maneira, longe da família.
En: He was a talented engineer and lived life on his own terms, away from family.

Pb: Já Ana sempre sonhou em ter um lar unido.
En: Meanwhile, Ana had always dreamed of having a united home.

Pb: Quando o tremor começou, os dois se encontraram pela primeira vez em meses.
En: When the tremor began, the two met for the first time in months.

Pb: A cidade estava em pânico.
En: The city was in panic.

Pb: Correndo, procuraram refúgio.
En: Running, they looked for refuge.

Pb: Sem muitas opções, encontraram uma velha porta de metal enferrujada.
En: With few options, they found an old rusty metal door.

Pb: Um bunker!
En: A bunker!

Pb: Parecia uma boa ideia.
En: It seemed like a good idea.

Pb: Entraram, e a porta se fechou com um estrondo.
En: They entered, and the door closed with a bang.

Pb: Lá dentro era escuro e apertado.
En: Inside, it was dark and cramped.

Pb: As paredes de concreto eram pesadas, e o ar tinha um cheiro de umidade e mofo.
En: The concrete walls were heavy, and the air had a damp and moldy smell.

Pb: Ainda havia latas, cobertas de poeira, de um tempo em que as pessoas temiam guerras.
En: There were still cans, covered in dust, from a time when people feared wars.

Pb: Mateus, com seus conhecimentos, inspecionou o lugar.
En: Mateus, with his knowledge, inspected the place.

Pb: Sabia que precisavam sair logo antes que a comida e a água acabassem.
En: He knew they needed to leave soon before the food and water ran out.

Pb: "Ana, me ajude a encontrar uma saída," ele disse finalmente.
En: "Ana, help me find a way out," he finally said.

Pb: Ela olhou fixamente, ainda com esperança no coração.
En: She looked intently, still hopeful at heart.

Pb: "Claro, Mateus.
En: "Of course, Mateus.

Pb: Podemos fazer isso juntos."
En: We can do this together."

Pb: Mateus não estava acostumado a trabalhar em equipe, principalmente com Ana.
En: Mateus wasn't used to working as part of a team, especially with Ana.

Pb: Mas, movido pela urgência e pela determinação nos olhos dela, eles começaram a planejar.
En: But, driven by the urgency and determination in her eyes, they began to plan.

Pb: Ana insistia em conversar sobre o passado.
En: Ana insisted on talking about the past.

Pb: "Mateus, sempre quis que fôssemos mais próximos.
En: "Mateus, I always wanted us to be closer.

Pb: Podemos agora..." Ele interrompeu.
En: Can we now..." He interrupted.

Pb: "Ana, precisamos nos concentrar."
En: "Ana, we need to focus."

Pb: O tempo passava, e os suprimentos diminuíam.
En: Time passed, and the supplies dwindled.

Pb: Eles descobriram um pequeno rádio, talvez sua única esperança de contato.
