00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 3>The air inside was warm, but Giordi felt trapped, as

72
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 3>if the weight of the entire world rested on his shoulders.

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Giordi was a diligent student, but in recent weeks his

76
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 3>head was full of doubts.

79
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 3>He needed to maintain his scholarship and proved to himself

00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 3>that he could handle this university pace prohara.

85
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 3>He decided that the best way to concentrate was to

86
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 3>study at night, when everything was silent ashi.

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 3>That way there would be no distractions from the laughter

90
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.319
<v Speaker 3>or music that often filled the dormitory during the day.

00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 3>He felt that the calm of the night could be

00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 3>his ally.

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 3>seemed impossible to win.
