Story Transcript:

Hr: Zagreb je prekriven zlatnim i crvenim lišćem, jesen ispunjava zrak mješavinom svježeg zraka i topline uspomena.
En: Zagreb is covered in golden and red leaves, autumn fills the air with a mix of fresh air and the warmth of memories.

Hr: U srcu grada stoji stari internat, škola čijih zidova nose drevne priče.
En: In the heart of the city stands an old boarding school, whose walls carry ancient stories.

Hr: Ivana sjedi na prozoru svoje sobe, razmišljajući o obitelji s kojom rijetko razgovara.
En: Ivana sits by the window of her room, thinking about the family she seldom speaks with.

Hr: Jednog jutra, dok su se učenici okupljali u blagovaonici, Ivana ugleda pismo na svom stolu.
En: One morning, as the students gathered in the dining hall, Ivana noticed a letter on her desk.

Hr: Na njemu nije bilo pošiljatelja, samo njezino ime, napisano urednim, dotjeranim slovima.
En: There was no sender, just her name, written in neat, refined letters.

Hr: Unutra je bio kratak tekst koji nagovještava tajnu iz prošlosti njezine obitelji.
En: Inside was a brief text hinting at a secret from her family's past.

Hr: "Što to znači?
En: "What does this mean?"

Hr: " šapnula je sama sebi, dok su joj se misli vrtjele.
En: she whispered to herself, her mind racing.

Hr: Odluči razgovarati s Mateom, starim prijateljem i saveznicem u svim njezinim avanturama.
En: She decided to talk to Mateo, an old friend and ally in all her adventures.

Hr: "Mateo, pogledaj ovo," rekla je, pružajući mu pismo.
En: "Mateo, look at this," she said, handing him the letter.

Hr: Mateo je pažljivo pročitao i znatiželjno podigao obrve.
En: Mateo read it carefully, raising his eyebrows with curiosity.

Hr: "Moramo to istražiti," rekao je uzbuđeno.
En: "We have to investigate this," he said excitedly.

Hr: Zajedno s Lukom, tihi ali pametan prijatelj, Ivana i Mateo krenuli su istraživati.
En: Together with Luka, a quiet but smart friend, Ivana and Mateo set off to explore.

Hr: Prvo su potražili tragove u školskoj knjižnici, skrivajući se iza starih polica punih prašnjavih knjiga.
En: They first searched for clues in the school library, hiding behind old shelves full of dusty books.

Hr: Ivana je riskirala prekršiti školska pravila tražeći informacije koje nije smjela imati.
En: Ivana risked breaking school rules to look for information she wasn't supposed to have.

Hr: Pronašli su stari arhiv s novinama iz prošlih godina.
En: They found an old archive with newspapers from past years.

Hr: Nakon mnogo istraživanja, jedne večeri otkrili su članak o događaju iz prošlosti koji je uključivao njezinu obitelj.
En: After much research, one evening they discovered an article about an event from the past involving her family.

Hr: Isti dan do Ivane dolazi još jedno pismo, koje je vodi do malog parka nedaleko školske zgrade.
En: The same day, Ivana received another letter, leading her to a small park not far from the school building.

Hr: Treperava svjetlost ulične lampe osvjetljavala je lice starijeg čovjeka koji ju je čekao tamo.
En: The flickering light of a streetlamp illuminated the face of an older man waiting there.

Hr: "Djed?
En: "Grandpa?"

Hr: " upitala je Ivana, šokirana i sjetna.
En: Ivana asked, shocked and wistful.

Hr: On je bio onaj koji joj je slao pisma.
En: He was...
