00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,759
the entire cafe was holding its breath.

00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:12,279
Ronie's fears.

00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,159
air that seemed to have invaded the cafe.

00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: In the cafe's comforting hustle and bustle, Renie realized that

154
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,279
sometimes it's necessary to risk one's heart to discover the unexpected.
