Speaker 3: leamrsa festival.

Speaker 3: many stories as secret questions that burdened his heart.

Speaker 3: When he entered, memories overwhelmed him.
Speaker 1: Las bells, dels nen juran lulo, the sopak linda yelsa percipla,
Speaker 1: the lasparsas del squiddurs.
Speaker 3: The voices of children playing, the smell of hot soup
Speaker 3: and the soothing sound of the caregiver's footsteps.
Speaker 1: But oh masura ka kreshia akeetra records as defumi naven
Speaker 1: igualcal registras de lurfanat incumplets e blends the lacunas.
Speaker 3: But as he grew these memories faded, just like the
Speaker 3: orphanage's records, incomplete and full of gaps.
Speaker 1: Barnards a canumezuna Parsona pudia taniras postas, albel quidado cavellas,
Speaker 1: ta tuna fiura paternal pare.
Speaker 3: Bernag knew that only one person could have answers, the
Speaker 3: old caregiver, who had been a fatherly figure to him.
Speaker 1: Amda Terminezillo babus Carlo esparan cal seba Mamias Siggi meskum
Speaker 1: plata car Registras.
Speaker 3: With determination, he searched for him, hoping his memory would
Speaker 3: be more complete than the records.
Speaker 1: Altruvalgerdi a seruta num bel wang the fusta onsuwing kumpartienistorius isomnis.
Speaker 3: He found him in the garden, sitting on an old
Speaker 3: wooden bench where they often shared stories and dreams.
Speaker 1: Albel Kuida though ambals platades palsan Bamira varnata, buna varrega
Speaker 1: the fata ibro Kubasiu.
Speaker 3: The old caregiver, his hair silvered by the years, looked
Speaker 3: at Bernat with a mix of affection and concern.
Speaker 1: Asturnat barnat badi al bee am buona vel Suou.
Speaker 3: You've returned, Bernac, the old man said, in a soft voice.

Speaker 3: looking into the eyes of his former protector.
Speaker 1: La gumbers Bastens.
Speaker 3: The conversation was tense.
Speaker 1: Albe kuida though baga faia iravalla bartada ma yavilla bansata splica.
Speaker 3: The old caregiver took a deep breath and revealed a
Speaker 3: truth he had never thought to share.

Speaker 3: but now he understood that their lives were complicated.
