Story Transcript:

Ca: A l'estiu, el sol intens feia brillar les finestres de l'ala psiquiàtrica.
En: In the summer, the intense sun made the windows of the psychiatric wing shine.

Ca: L'ambient a l'interior, però, semblava fred i distant, amb parets blanques i passadissos llargs que ressonaven amb passos i murmuris.
En: The atmosphere inside, however, seemed cold and distant, with white walls and long hallways that resonated with footsteps and murmurs.

Ca: La Mariona, una infermera dedicada, travessava un d’aquests passadissos, pensant en la calor del sol i la llibertat del món exterior, que sempre semblava fora del seu abast.
En: La Mariona, a dedicated nurse, traversed one of these hallways, thinking about the heat of the sun and the freedom of the outside world, which always seemed out of her reach.

Ca: Era un home ambiciosament enfocat en les seves tasques, però sovint oblidava els petits detalls.

Ca: L'absència del pacient era un problema gran, i ell no sabia què fer.

Ca: L'ambient entre el personal s'omplia de teories i mirades acusadores.

Ca: La Clara, una pacient recentment ingressada, semblava més calmada del que era habitual.
En: La Clara, a recently admitted patient, seemed calmer than usual.

Ca: Sota l’exterior tranquil, era molt observadora.

Ca: A més dels seus deures, hi havia alguna cosa a dins que li deia que no ignorés els sospirs del seu cor.

Ca: Així doncs, en secret, va decidir investigar la desaparició de Clara, malgrat els riscos.

Ca: Durant una de les seves exploracions, va descobrir una petita porta amagada darrere d'una prestatgeria de la sala de lectura.

Ca: Amb el cor bategant ràpidament, la va obrir i va veure un passadís estret que portava a algun lloc desconegut.
