It: In un freddo mattino d'inverno, nella quiete del dormitorio universitario, Luca si sveglia avvolto nelle coperte.
En: On a cold winter morning, in the quiet of the university dormitory, Luca wakes up wrapped in blankets.

It: Fuori dalla finestra, gli alberi sono coperti da un lieve strato di neve.
En: Outside the window, the trees are covered with a light layer of snow.

It: Luca ha i brividi e si sente strano.
En: Luca has chills and feels strange.

It: Pensa agli esami.
En: He thinks about the exams.

It: Oggi pubblicheranno i risultati.

It: La stanza è accogliente ma disordinata.
En: The room is cozy but messy.

It: Libri e appunti sono sparsi ovunque.
En: Books and notes are scattered everywhere.

It: Luca si siede sul letto, si guarda intorno, e si sente un po' perso.
En: Luca sits on the bed, looks around, and feels a bit lost.

It: La sua testa è pesante e i sintomi dell'influenza sono sempre più precisi.
En: His head is heavy, and the symptoms of the flu are becoming more apparent.

It: "Devo riposare," pensa.
En: "I need to rest," he thinks.

It: Ma si preoccupa di perdere l'uscita dei risultati.
En: But he's worried about missing the release of the results.

It: Gianna, la sua compagna di stanza, entra con un sorriso.
En: Gianna, his roommate, enters with a smile.

It: "Hey, Luca, come stai?
En: "Hey, Luca, how are you?

It: Hai un aspetto terribile!"
En: You look terrible!"

It: dice Gianna ridendo.
En: Gianna says, laughing.

It: "Non molto bene," risponde Luca, tossendo leggermente.
En: "Not very well," Luca replies, coughing slightly.

It: "Ho paura che sia influenza."
En: "I'm afraid it's the flu."

It: "Dovresti rimanere a letto," consiglia Gianna.
En: "You should stay in bed," advises Gianna.

It: "Non vuoi peggiorare."
En: "You don't want to get worse."

It: "No, no.
En: "No, no.

It: Devo andare.
En: I have to go.

It: Devo vedere i risultati," insiste Luca ostinatamente.
En: I need to see the results," insists Luca stubbornly.

It: Marco, un amico comune, entra nella stanza con una tazza di tè caldo.
En: Marco, a mutual friend, enters the room with a cup of hot tea.

It: "Ciao, Luca!
En: "Hi, Luca!

It: Ho sentito che non stai bene.
En: I heard you're not well.

It: Tieni questo, ti farà bene."
En: Take this, it will do you good."

It: Luca sorride debolmente.
En: Luca smiles weakly.

It: "Grazie, Marco.
En: "Thanks, Marco.

It: Ma penso di avere la febbre.
En: But I think I have a fever.

It: Sta peggiorando."
En: It's getting worse."

It: Gianna e Marco si guardano preoccupati.
En: Gianna and Marco exchange worried looks.

It: "Rimani qui," dice Marco.
En: "Stay here," says Marco.

It: "Possiamo andare noi a vedere i risultati per te."
En: "We can go check the results for you."

It: Ma Luca scuote la testa.
En: But Luca shakes his head.

It: "No, voglio vederli di persona."
En: "No, I want to see them myself."

It: Così, contro il consiglio dei suoi amici, Luca si vestì e si coprì bene.
En: So, against their friends' advice, Luca got dressed and wrapped himself up well.

It: Ogni passo verso la bacheca sembra un'eternità.
En: Each step towards the notice board feels like an eternity.

It: Il corridoio è affollato di studenti che chiacchierano eccitati.
En: The hallway is crowded with students chatting excitedly.

It: Finalmente arriva, ma i sintomi sono troppo forti.
En: Finally, he arrives, but the symptoms are too strong.

It: La vista inizia a sfocare e sente girare la testa.
En: His vision starts to blur, and he feels dizzy.

It: Si appoggia alla parete per non cadere.
En: He leans against the wall to keep from falling.

It: Vedendo Luca in difficoltà, Gianna e Marco si affrettano ad aiutarlo.
En: Seeing Luca struggling, Gianna and Marco rush to help him.

It: Gianna lo tiene per un braccio mentre Marco controlla i risultati.
En: Gianna holds him by the arm while Marco checks the results.

It: "Luca!
En: "Luca!

It: Ce l'hai fatta!
En: You did it!

It: Hai passato tutti gli esami!"
En: You passed all your exams!"

It: Luca si lascia andare a un sorriso debole mentre la consapevolezza scema.
En: Luca manages a weak smile as his awareness fades.

It: "Davvero?
En: "Really?

It: Mi sento... così stanco..." borbotta prima di svenire lentamente, con Gianna che lo sostiene delicatamente.
En: I feel... so tired..." he mutters before slowly fainting, with Gianna gently supporting him.

It: Qualche ora dopo, Luca si sveglia nella sua stanza.
En: A few hours later, Luca wakes up in his room.

It: La testa non gira più così tanto e si sente meglio.
En: His head is no longer spinning as much, and he feels better.

It: Gianna e Marco gli sono accanto.
En: Gianna and Marco are by his side.

It: "Abbiamo aspettato che ti riprendessi," dice Marco.
En: "We waited for you to recover," says Marco.

It: "Ce l'hai fatta, amico.
En: "You did it, man.

It: Hai passato tutti!"
En: You passed everything!"

It: Luca si sente sollevato, un peso enorme cade dalle sue spalle.
En: Luca feels relieved, a huge weight falls off his shoulders.

It: "Grazie, ragazzi," dice, sentendo l'importanza del sostegno degli amici.
En: "Thank you, guys," he says, feeling the importance of his friends' support.

It: "Avrei dovuto ascoltarvi e prendermi cura di me stesso prima."
En: "I should have listened to you and taken care of myself earlier."

It: Con un sorriso rassicurante, Gianna risponde: "L'hai imparato per la prossima volta.
En: With a reassuring smile, Gianna responds: "You've learned for next time.

It: Ora, riposati."
En: Now, rest."

It: Luca finalmente comprende l'importanza di ascoltare il proprio corpo e di fidarsi delle persone che si prendono cura di lui.
En: Luca finally understands the importance of listening to his body and trusting those who care about him.

It: E mentre guarda fuori dalla finestra, osservando la neve che cade lentamente, sa che con amici come Gianna e Marco, può affrontare qualsiasi difficoltà.
