Story Transcript:

Hu: Az ősz egy hűvös, szeles napján, Bence és Réka az egykori város romjai között jártak.
En: On a cool, windy day in autumn, Bence and Réka walked among the ruins of the former city.

Hu: A betont az időjárás és a növények győzködése megtörte, bársonyos mohával és vörösre festett falevelekkel befedve.
En: The concrete was broken by the weather and the persistence of plants, covered with velvety moss and leaves painted red.

Hu: Az élet gyenge szálai visszahódították a tájat.
En: The frail strands of life had reclaimed the landscape.

Hu: Bence körültekintett, aggodalommal tekintve a dőlésre kész épületekre, amelyek a horizontot szegélyezték.
En: Bence looked around, worriedly eyeing the buildings ready to fall, which lined the horizon.

Hu: Tudta, hogy minden döntésük következménnyel járhat.
En: He knew that every decision they made could have consequences.

Hu: Réka, a naiv botanikus, aki csatlakozott Bencéhez az ő közösségéből, érdeklődve figyelte az élet nyomait az elhagyatott házak között.
En: Réka, the naive botanist who joined Bence from his community, watched with interest the traces of life among the abandoned houses.

Hu: Még nem szokott hozzá az élet keserű realitásaihoz odakint.
En: She was not yet accustomed to the bitter realities of life outside.

Hu: A fagyos levegőtől elárult egy nagyobb kőbe botlott, és bal lába alatt éles fájdalom hasított végig.
En: As the frosty air revealed, she stumbled over a larger stone, and a sharp pain shot through her left foot.

Hu: A földre zökkent, karját fájón maga alá szorítva.
En: She fell to the ground, clutching her aching arm beneath her.

Hu: „Réka!
En: "Réka!

Hu: Jól vagy?
En: Are you okay?"

Hu: ” Bence aggódva vetette magát mellé.
En: Bence asked worriedly, throwing himself beside her.

Hu: Réka csak a fejét rázta, és könnyek gyűltek a szemébe.
En: Réka just shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

Hu: Rögtön látta: valami baj van.
En: He saw right away: something was wrong.

Hu: Vér folyt végig Réka bokáján.
En: Blood ran down Réka's ankle.

Hu: Az óvilág fájdalma és veszélye most Bence vállára nehezedett.
En: The pain and danger of the old world now weighed on Bence's shoulders.

Hu: A legközelebbi menedék a régi kórház volt, nem messze innen.
En: The nearest shelter was the old hospital, not far from there.

Hu: De még soha nem próbálkozott belépni oda a sok omladék miatt.
En: But he had never attempted to go inside due to the abundant rubble.

Hu: A remény azonban vékony zsinóron függött, és Bence tudta, nincs más választásuk.
En: However, hope hung by a thin thread, and Bence knew they had no other choice.

Hu: „Megpróbálom.
En: "I'll try.

Hu: Ki kell próbálnunk a kórházat” - döntött, Réka megbántatlan kezét a vállára emelve.
En: We have to try the hospital," he decided, lifting Réka's uninjured arm over his shoulder.

Hu: Réka addig távol maradt, míg Bence az összedőlt kapukon belülre surrant.
En: Réka stayed behind while Bence slipped inside the collapsed gates.

Hu: Minden árnyék mögött veszély leselkedett, minden szoba rejtett fenyegetést hordozott.
En: Danger lurked behind every shadow, every room concealed a hidden threat.

Hu: Végül, hosszú keresgélés után, rátalált egy halom hasznavehető felszerelésre: kötszerek, fertőtlenítőszer,...
