En: Deep underground, just a bit from the surface where life is uncertain, Marek, Jana, and Tomáš were hiding in an old bunker. Sk: Boli to dni plné napätia, keď nevedeli, čo sa deje vonku. En: Those were days full of tension when they didn't know what was happening outside. Sk: Bunker bol skromný, vládla tam tma, ale bol plný zásob.

Sk: Marek chodil hore-dole, rozvažujúc o malichernostiach, a snažil sa myslieť na všetko, čo môže robiť pre svojich priateľov.

Sk: Bol v núdzi zachovania bezpečia, no vo svojej hlave bojoval s hlbokým strachom zo zlyhania. En: He was in dire need to maintain safety, yet he battled deep fear of failure in his mind. Sk: Niečo sa však zmenilo. En: But something changed. Sk: Jana prepadla vysokou horúčkou. En: Jana was struck by a high fever. Sk: "Musíme niečo robiť," povedal Marek, keď sa sklonil k chvejúcej sa Jane. En: "We have to do something," Marek said as he bent down to the shivering Jana.

Sk: Vonkajší svet bol plný nebezpečenstiev, a s každým krokom vonku hrozilo riziko. En: The outside world was full of dangers, and every step outside posed a risk.

Sk: “Dávaj pozor, Tomáš,” zašepkal, pohľadom plným úzkosti. En: "Be careful, Tomáš," he whispered, his gaze full of anxiety. Sk: "Nesmieš sa dať chytiť. En: "You mustn't get caught."

Sk: Marek sedel vedľa Jany a modlil sa, aby sa všetko obrátilo v ich prospech. En: Marek sat next to Jana and prayed for everything to turn in their favor. Sk: Srdce mu búšilo s každom tlakom hodín.
