00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,000
his throat.

102
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: In the cafe, the quiet murmur of other guests conversations

103
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,039
blended with the sound of coffee splashing as the barista

104
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:08,000
poured another cup.

105
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:15,200

00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: As they got up to leave, they felt snowflakes landing

123
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,799
on their faces. As they stepped outside the cafe.

124
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Ye kuzatsnimbitkasdi okamjik, the site of the snow covered praya
