00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,439
city where they grew up, which should remind them of

78
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:33,439
her back to the present.

79
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:40,319

Speaker 1: Stalis polo vestaanku zora.

88
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: They stood together at the stall, fragrant steam rising from

89
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:32,679
the hot chocolate.

90
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,039
Speaker 1: Yak An nabid liho.

Speaker 3: It's the same as last year, but everything is so

99
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,519

100
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:20,799
Speaker 1: Ye las setrasu al ye coupe viegil na nisna menalo.

101
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: Her voice trembled, but Yakub knew how much that admission

102
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:25,919
meant to her.

Speaker 3: They stood silently under the lights, hands around the mugs

107
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,279
of chocolate, and for a moment just watched as the

108
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,159
snow continued to fall to the ground.

109
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:09,279
Speaker 1: Petre uzi kila gestre as nemus nez samma.

110
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:12,879
Speaker 3: Petra felt that she didn't have to bear the fear

111
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,919
and sadness alone ville.

112
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,480

00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: Mala, Thank you, she said quietly, and for the first time,

116
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:35,120
she gave a faint smile.

117
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: Mouge me se projassti.

124
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,000
until the lights faded into the distance.
