00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: In the gray office space in the center of Bra,

47
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800
where the windows were misted by the winter cold, Jana

48
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,519
found her work refuge.

51
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:27,079
Speaker 3: Although the city outside was dressing in a snowy coat,

52
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,800
the office maintained a pleasant temperature and the faint, yolk

53
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:33,000
colored light created an illusion of comfort.

54
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: Yek clapari claves nite avitvarnritmus colem semi hali coolegov.

Speaker 1: La svo prati ato gila po uznani.

59
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,759
Speaker 3: She loved her job and longed for recognition.

60
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: Of chempo ti seceto ti kila unavena a vecheristra vela

62
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,639
Speaker 3: However, in recent months, she often felt tired, spending her

63
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,279
evenings on projects she enjoyed, but exhaustion began to catch

64
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,720
up with her.

65
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: Denesse na valentina seti kila nie kim spodlishne.

66
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: Today, on Valentine's Day, she felt somehow different.

67
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:42,639
Speaker 1: Si kila ya ki unava pa hui rahm's vijno.

68
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: She sensed that her fatigue was beyond the usual.

69
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,759
Speaker 1: Ale termini ne uprosni.

70
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,879

Speaker 1: Tri tl carell posorni asterostlivi zorovli usilli.

72
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: Her boyfriend Carl, attentive and caring, had been observing her

73
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:08,240
efforts for a long time.

74
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: Vigil vesi zappas snahupola chit signali taku.

75
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,079
Speaker 3: He saw the struggle in her eyes, her attempt to

76
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:23,240
suppress the signals from her body calling for.

77
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:31,959
Speaker 1: Rest carel zahaledl yegbila ya costiena segi ustolo tisto bilkni.

78
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,919
Speaker 3: When Carl saw her sitting at the table as pale

79
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:37,240
as a wall, he approached her.

80
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah no, zachel lascavie vi padash unavegne.

81
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: Yonna. He began, kindly, you look tired, Niela.

Speaker 1: Beis DomU a otpochinotsi.

00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,799
Speaker 3: You should go home and rest.

Speaker 1: Yen Nasma la a le us Slabi.

85
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 3: Yana smiled, but the smile was weak. Ne mujou Carola,

Speaker 1: Sidula ji kishi ni sh proyecht.

90
00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: You're more important than the project.

91

Speaker 1: Nigdill li p chi seot pucchinot.

92
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:40,600

96
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: I know, but she tried to push it out of

97
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,960
her mind. But the feeling of weakness grew stronger.

98
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:10,919
Speaker 1: Dig clepa valiches a pratzovni prosovi prasnoval ya nazustella.

99
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:15,399
Speaker 3: As the hours ticked by and the workspace gradually emptied,

Giena staid.

101
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: Then cuzza cela padretma at la canan ne u pros dol.

102
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: Darkness began to fall outside, and the pressure weighed heavily

103
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:27,720
on her.

104
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:38,159
Speaker 1: Naconet ut vacluki michi ya na nayed noo potikila prutiza vrat.

105
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: Finally, when the last awake click of a mouse fell

106
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:46,200
silent in the room, Jana suddenly felt a sharp dizziness.

107
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: Oprera se ostool a le svit coolem sestemnille.

108
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:55,519
Speaker 3: She leaned on the table, but the world around darkened.

109
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:07,039
Speaker 1: Carrel segni besvaa nipnal vola naivitvik.

110
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: Without hesitation, care rushed to her, calling for help from

111
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,039
a colleague in the next apartment who had medical training yaa.

112
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Nagauch.

113
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: Jana was quickly laid on a couch where she slowly

114
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:27,120
regained consciousness.

115
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: Aval.

116
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: She felt humiliated, but Cares comforted.

117
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: HERM Yao, this can happen to anyone ya neniastda, It's

118
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:58,480
nothing to be ashamed of, he said, calmly. Scoo gesa DomU.

119
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,879
Speaker 3: With the colleague's help, they quickly arranged for Jana to

120
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,799
get home where she could recuperate.

121
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: De comita natudosmidne.

122
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 3: As she lay under the blanket, she reflected on the

123
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:17,759
day's events.

124
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: Uvi doomela si getlac samuesmiovai naslitk.

125
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: She realized that pushing herself beyond her limits could have

126
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,519
more serious consequences.

127
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: Odrod la la.

128
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:43,039
Speaker 3: She resolved to do something necessary nastavi see. She would

129
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,279
set boundaries.

00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,159
Speaker 1: Now chi s anaidev toharmony.

131
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: She would learn to say no and find harmony.

132
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: In that zitreovikov yexcerozodla.

133
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: Tomorrow she would tell Kara about her decision.

134
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Zay rostostvosa an i beat uspishna's mena ni proves postaratvzdravi ashtiski.

135
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,159
Speaker 3: She was grateful for his concern, and perhaps thanks to him,

136
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,360
she learned something valuable. Being successful means first taking care

137
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:26,919
of one's own health and happiness.

138
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:33,639
