Park je velik.”En: Marin shrugged. “Maybe they just get lost. The park is big.”Hr: “Nije tako jednostavno,” odgovorila je Ivana. “Mislim da Nikola zna više nego što govori.”En: “It’s not that simple,” replied Ivana. “I think Nikola knows more than he’s letting on.”Hr: Odluka je donesena.En: The decision was made.Hr: Ivana je morala istražiti, čak i ako je to značilo suočiti se s Nikolom usred zimu.En: Ivana had to investigate, even if it meant facing Nikola in the middle of winter.Hr: Hodali su dublje u park, izbjegavajući skliske staze, dok su pahulje padale sve gušće.En: They walked deeper into the park, avoiding slippery paths as the snowflakes fell thicker.Hr: Kad su stigli do skrivenog dijela šume, Ivana je stala ispred Nikole.En: When they reached a hidden part of the forest, Ivana stood in front of Nikola.Hr: “Reci mi što znaš,” zahtijevala je.En: “Tell me what you know,” she demanded.Hr: Njene oči bile su uperene u njega, odlučne i nepokolebljive.En: Her eyes were fixed on him, determined and unwavering.Hr: Nikola je uzdahnuo i pokazao rukom prema skrovitom prolazu među stijenama.En: Nikola sighed and pointed towards a concealed passage among the rocks.Hr: “Ovdje postoji fenomen. Ljudi se nesvjesno gube.En: “There is a phenomenon here. People get lost unconsciously.Hr: Prolaz je skrovit, ali priroda ovdje igra svoju igru.”En: The passage is hidden, but nature plays its game here.”Hr: Zajedno su krenuli...
