Ca: El seu vestit era una mescla d'un fantasma amb elements de ciència-ficció. En: His outfit was a mix of a ghost with science fiction elements. Ca: Portava un casc estrany amb llums blaves que parpellejaven, i una capa blanca que flotava darrere seu. En: He wore a strange helmet with blinking blue lights and a white cape that floated behind him. Ca: Havia creat el vestit amb la intenció que fos una forma de trencar el gel amb els seus companys. En: He had created the costume intending it to be an icebreaker with his classmates. Ca: Però ara, davant del club, es preguntava si funcionaria. En: But now, in front of the club, he wondered if it would work. Ca: Va entrar al recinte, sol. En: He entered the venue, alone. Ca: Els crits alegres l’atabalaven una mica, però es va fer valent i va decidir endinsar-se més. En: The cheerful shouts overwhelmed him a bit, but he gathered his courage and decided to dive in deeper. Ca: Al capdavall, havia vingut per fer-ne amics. En: After all, he had come to make friends. Ca: Just a l’entrada, Clara i Jordi el van veure. En: Just at the entrance, Clara and Jordi saw him. Ca: Clara portava una diadema amb unes orelles de gat i Jordi anava disfressat com un home llop.

Ca: Però, en un moment, una broma mal entesa va fer que Martí es posés seriós. En: But at one point, a misunderstood joke made Martí become serious. Ca: Pensava que potser la seva autenticitat no era benvinguda. En: He thought perhaps his authenticity wasn't welcome. Ca: Amb el cor bategant ràpid, va decidir ser sincer.
