Story Transcript:

Ca: Oriol va entrar al magatzem abandonat, amb el cor bategant ràpidament.
En: Oriol entered the abandoned warehouse, his heart beating rapidly.

Ca: L'aire de tardor era fred i portava una lleugera olor de rovell i humitat.
En: The autumn air was cold and carried a slight smell of rust and dampness.

Ca: Les bigues oxidades i les finestres trencades afegien una sensació inquietant al lloc.
En: The rusted beams and broken windows added an unsettling feeling to the place.

Ca: Però Oriol no es vencia fàcilment.
En: But Oriol was not easily defeated.

Ca: Era enginyer, amb intel·ligència i determinació a parts iguals.
En: He was an engineer, with equal parts intelligence and determination.

Ca: "Ha d'estar aquí," va pensar Oriol, recordant la promesa que havia fet al seu amic abans de la seva mort.
En: "It must be here," Oriol thought, remembering the promise he had made to his friend before his death.

Ca: Necessitava aquella peça mecànica rara per completar un projecte en honor seu.
En: He needed that rare mechanical part to complete a project in his friend's honor.

Ca: El terra estava cobert de pols i runa.
En: The floor was covered with dust and debris.

Ca: Fragments de maquinària oblidada apareixien per tot arreu.
En: Fragments of forgotten machinery appeared everywhere.

Ca: La llum del sol entrava per les esquerdes, projectant ombres dèbils.
En: Sunlight entered through the cracks, casting faint shadows.

Ca: Oriol es va moure amb cautela, cada pas trencant el silenci inquietant del magatzem.
En: Oriol moved cautiously, each step breaking the eerie silence of the warehouse.

Ca: Va buscar entre piles de metall i caixes buides, tot i saber que altre gent també cercava objectes valuosos.
En: He searched among piles of metal and empty boxes, knowing that other people were also looking for valuable objects.

Ca: De sobte, va sentir una veu.
En: Suddenly, he heard a voice.

Ca: "Què fas aquí, xaval?
En: "What are you doing here, kid?"

Ca: " Un grup de buscadors d'objectes havia aparegut de cop.
En: A group of object seekers had appeared out of nowhere.

Ca: Els seus ulls brillaven amb un mesclat de curiositat i desconfiança.
En: Their eyes shone with a mix of curiosity and distrust.

Ca: "Busco una peça específica," va respondre Oriol, intentant sonar confiat.
En: "I'm looking for a specific part," Oriol replied, trying to sound confident.

Ca: Sabia que aquells desconeguts podrien ser perillosos.
En: He knew these strangers could be dangerous.

Ca: "Potser n'hem vist una," va dir un dels homes amb un mig somriure.
En: "Maybe we've seen one," said one of the men with a half-smile.

Ca: "Què em donaràs a canvi?
En: "What will you give me in return?"

Ca: "Oriol va recordar alguns objectes valuosos que havia portat pensant que podrien ajudar.
En: Oriol remembered some valuable objects he had brought, thinking they might help.

Ca: Sense vacil·lar, va oferir-los.
En: Without hesitating, he offered them.

Ca: Els seus interlocutors van observar els objectes, intercanviant mirades silencioses.
En: His interlocutors observed the objects, exchanging silent glances.

Ca: Després d'una breu deliberació, el líder del grup va assentir.
En: After a brief deliberation, the group's leader nodded.

Ca: "D'acord, nano.
En: "Alright, kid.

Ca: És un bon tracte.
En: It's a good deal."

Ca: "Amb un alleujament visible, Oriol va intercanviar els objectes i, per fi, va tenir a les mans la peça que tant desitjava.
En: With visible relief, Oriol exchanged the objects and finally had in his hands the part he so desired.

Ca: Va ser llavors quan va comprendre que, a vegades, col·laborar era més important que només dependre d'un mateix.
En: It was then that he realized that sometimes, collaborating was more important than just relying on oneself.

Ca: Mentre sortia del magatzem, la llum del sol s'havia tornat daurada sobre els murs rovellats.
En: As he left the warehouse, the sunlight had turned golden over the rusted walls.

Ca: Oriol va somriure lleument, conscient que havia après una lliçó valuosa.
En: Oriol smiled slightly, aware that he had learned a valuable lesson.

Ca: La determinació era important, però un veritable enginyer sabia quan era millor treballar en equip.
En: Determination was important, but a true engineer knew when it was better to work as a team.

Ca: Amb aquesta reflexió, va tornar a casa, més a prop que mai de complir la promesa feta al seu amic.
En: With this reflection, he returned home, closer than ever to fulfilling the promise made to his friend.
