Luke as he looked.

00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,839
the same sun.

00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:24,399
the inside of the cafe.

102
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: Luke felt this persistent fear that they had changed, that

103
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,919
they had forgotten the chemistry that once bound them.

104

00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,759

Speaker 1: Biensieur repitien tou chip a la snee d Dic.

00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: The three friends continued to talk, expressing what was on

130
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,679
their hearts and sharing precious memories.

131
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,360

134
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:04,759
their conversation.

137
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: It was through a nostalgic discussion that they understood that

138
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:20,879
although each had changed, their bond remained intact.

139
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,440

143
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,559
realities of the present could coexist.

146
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: Before leaving, they decided to see each other more regularly

147
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:57,120
and to plan a trip to the mountains, one of

148
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:57,960
their old dreams.

149
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:04,200

153
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,039
Speaker 3: That day on the Promna Disauglas, Luke once again felt

154
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,679
that sense of belonging, realizing that truly deep friendships are

155
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,200
never lost, they simply evolve with time.

156
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
