Speaker 3: hoping the sea would show him some answers.

Speaker 3: into ideas that never quite settled.
Speaker 1: Baban san la kaya no al satisfasia and al Zamik's

Speaker 3: about friends who were on different paths, and about the
Speaker 3: expectations others had.

Speaker 3: We all turned his gaze to the horizon where the
Speaker 3: sun began to slowly disappear behind the water. Anaki mumen

Speaker 3: knowing what he truly valued, the freedom to choose, the
Speaker 3: ability to learn, the connection with the sea and peaceful
Speaker 3: moments like that one Annakeelin's then barsabeca trubari al seba,
