Speaker 1: An Una tar dad June ju just Ta van zd Aldia,
Speaker 1: the San Juan, Lucia Astruvava, the Vandlveil magadze A van Dunat.
Speaker 3: On a June afternoon, just before the Day of Saint Joan,
Speaker 3: Yucia found herself in front of the old abandoned warehouse.
Speaker 1: Ira Una de Fi Si gran Nidas managat am la
Speaker 1: sparetes plenas the graffitis iea ca Samblavo Fagralu.
Speaker 3: It was a large and shabby building with walls covered
Speaker 3: in graffiti and ivy that seemed to choke it.
Speaker 1: La Lucia Simpravillas Tatunaya Sumiadora Iva Linda iavu am la
Speaker 1: Vosa la scena plena, the batart Cesanthias Pasiel menin Trepida.
Speaker 3: Yucia had always been a dreamy and brave girl, and today,
Speaker 3: with a bag full of firecrackers on her back, she
Speaker 3: felt especially daring.
Speaker 1: Also a vilia villa splicatis thoriusvelles sovraged Magadze.
Speaker 3: Her grandfather had told her beautiful stories about this warehouse.

Speaker 1: la luzie dels die As, the san juang quan alspatisdald
Speaker 1: Reda and Sanien furreer Si patartz Parcellall.
Speaker 3: He had worked there many years before it closed, and
Speaker 3: he always spoke of the excitement of the Saint John
Speaker 3: days when in the backyards they would light bonfires and
Speaker 3: firecrackers to celebrate the vigil.
Speaker 1: Are anunore La Lucia vulir Ravida keelstims.
Speaker 3: Now in honor of him, Usia wanted to relive those times.
Speaker 1: Tod yel tim sparsad tiel, the Triuda men del e

Speaker 3: Despite the passage of time and the deterioration of the place,
Speaker 3: she was determined.
Speaker 1: Guambantral maradzem barsantiun calfred kalira corriel, laspinada um kumpac de
Speaker 1: silensi canumestrangcaba al cruschetu kazunal de las vigas the fusta.
Speaker 3: When she entered the warehouse, she felt a shiver run
Speaker 3: down her spine, a compact silence only broken by the
Speaker 3: occasional creaking of the wooden beams.
Speaker 1: La lumdl soul difu minada barlas finestres trancadas prujactaba ombras
Speaker 1: mister usus altera ple the boles.
Speaker 3: The sunlight diffused through the broken windows cast mysterious shadows
Speaker 3: on the dusty floor.
Speaker 1: Barras pirab prufunda men umplins the lulo the bulls istoria.
Speaker 3: She breathed deeply, filling herself with the smell of dust
Speaker 3: and history.
Speaker 1: Malgretl tamo calipro vucaba and lascundi sid la di fici nozbatura.
Speaker 3: The fear of the building's conditions induced in her. She
Speaker 3: didn't stop lazistariasdl su abi erl sugiya. Her grandfather's stories
Speaker 3: were her guide.
Speaker 1: Amcaa bascafeya la Lucia centthia una varregia the bo y esperanza.
Speaker 3: With every step she took, Yucia felt a mix of
Speaker 3: fear and hope.
Speaker 1: Ye villa umbin claimed bizibla unfilindral parsati al brazen klava bundragunata.
Speaker 3: There was an invisible bond, a thread between the past
Speaker 3: and the present that she was about to reconnect.
Speaker 1: Finale men barrival sintre de la spai un laalum era mesclara.
Speaker 3: Finally she reached the center of the space where the
Speaker 3: light was clearer.
Speaker 1: Amand de cididas batrera unpadd alas.
Speaker 3: With determined hands, she took a firecracker from her bag.
Speaker 1: Dra come alceuabi lia vi explicat calsodlspatarza come albatec dum
Speaker 1: bell corcamai de shabad vata dura la festa the san Juan.
Speaker 3: She remembered how her grandfather had told her that the
Speaker 3: sound of the firecrackers was like the beating of an
Speaker 3: old heart that never stopped. During the celebration of Saint.
Speaker 1: Joan Albaculuka terramcura agafan nun mistuparan sindre la miche.
Speaker 3: She carefully placed it on the ground, grabbing a match
Speaker 3: to light the fuse al.

Speaker 3: The fire crackled, and Jucia stepped back a few paces al.
Speaker 1: Si lensi azbatran caa amuna explosio the lum isokawafarvaralas perezdl magadzem.
Speaker 3: The silence was broken with an explosion of light and
Speaker 3: sound that made the walls of the warehouse reverberate.
Speaker 1: Dura nun serrn's magis batan cal zuls e is vaimajinal
Speaker 1: seuabrien iva yanintra lasaspurnas.
Speaker 3: For a few magical seconds, she closed her eyes and
Speaker 3: imagined her grandfather laughing and dancing among the sparks.
Speaker 1: Cynthia una calofamilia una rigueza, the fake the canumezal recordspodan duna.
Speaker 3: She felt a familiar warmth, a richness of affection that
Speaker 3: only memories can give.
Speaker 1: Quanalraso bachumn sasbayrsa la Lucia varaspira funds umplin sa duna paunava.
Speaker 3: When the echo began to fade, Usia took a deep breath,
Speaker 3: filling herself with a new found peace.
Speaker 1: Savilla calceuabi laayin urrulus.
Speaker 3: She knew her grandfather was watching proud.
Speaker 1: Ill va pendre al mumen comundragal una manera de kuntinu

Speaker 3: She took the moment as a gift away to continue
Speaker 3: her family heritage and honor the traditions that rooted her
Speaker 3: to those she had loved.
Speaker 1: Basur ti de al magadze mamblcrloe aramesabra camai del barsad
Speaker 1: catana braciava.
Speaker 3: She left the warehouse with a light heart, now closer
Speaker 3: than ever to the past she cherished so much.

Speaker 5: For you.
Speaker 3: See, the day of Saint Joan would not be just
Speaker 3: another family celebration. It would be a renewal of the
Speaker 3: love and values her grandfather had taught her.
Speaker 1: Unferu, savilla ka dal runa maneda e my sabilla nadal.
Speaker 3: In doing so, she knew that somehow he had never
Speaker 3: entirely left.
