<v Speaker 3>Her passion for ancient cultures had brought her here, and

65
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 3>now she was determined to discover more for her upcoming conference.

<v Speaker 3>Suddenly, as miri A went over some notes, she felt

88
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.160
<v Speaker 3>a pressure in her chest.

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 3>The anxiety she had always tried to ignore by focusing

92
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.240
<v Speaker 3>on her work now manifested as difficulty in breathing.

00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Mirie stopped breathing with effort, frightened by not knowing what

96
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 3>was happening.

101
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 3>It was the moment to put what he had learned

102
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 3>to the test.

114
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.080

<v Speaker 3>For a few moments, their eyes met under the dim lights,

118
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 3>and she began to regain control of her breathing.
