En: Autumn brought with it the chill and peace to the streets of the university campus. Sk: Stromy boli oblečené do zlatých a červených listov. En: The trees were dressed in golden and red leaves. Sk: Vzduch voňal po opadaných listoch a dymových vôňach z diaľky. En: The air smelled of fallen leaves and smoky scents from afar. Sk: V tento tichý čas roka sa ľudia pripravovali na Sviatok všetkých svätých, zapálili sviečky a spomínali na svojich blízkych. En: In this quiet time of the year, people were preparing for Sviatok všetkých svätých, lighting candles and remembering their loved ones. Sk: V meste sa objavili malé stánky so sviečkami a kyticami chryzantém. En: Small stalls with candles and bouquets of chrysanthemums appeared in the town. Sk: Jana bola študentkou na miestnej univerzite, ale jej domov bol ďaleko. En: Jana was a student at the local university, but her home was far away. Sk: Študovala v cudzine, v meste plnom nových tvárí a zvykov. En: She was studying abroad in a city full of new faces and customs. Sk: Hoci mala rada svoj odbor, niečo jej chýbalo. En: Although she liked her field of study, something was missing. Sk: Chýbal jej Matej, jej priateľ, ktorý ostal doma. En: She missed Matej, her boyfriend, who stayed back home.

En: She often missed meetings and didn't respond to messages. Sk: Jana cítila bezmocnosť a tlak. En: Jana felt helpless and pressured. Sk: „Musím to dokončiť,“ vravela si ticho pri okne, keď pozorovala, ako vietor odnáša opadané lístie preč. En: “I must finish it,” she said quietly to herself by the window, watching as the wind carried the fallen leaves away. Sk: To popoludnie sa rozhodla konať. En: That afternoon, she decided to act. Sk: Zapla si počítač a začala pracovať na projekte sama. En: She turned on her computer and started working on the project alone. Sk: Ale vedela, že bez Evy to nebude možné zvládnuť úplne. En: But she knew it wouldn’t be possible to complete it fully without Eva. Sk: Potrebovala pomoc. En: She needed help. Sk: Po niekoľkých dňoch zúfalého čakania sa Jana odhodlala. En: After several days of desperate waiting, Jana resolved to act. Sk: Napísala Eve správu a požiadala ju o jasnú odpoveď. En: She wrote a message to Eva asking for a clear response. Sk: Trvalo niekoľko hodín, kým sa na obrazovke objavila odpoveď. En: It took several hours before a reply appeared on the screen. Sk: Eva súhlasila so stretnutím cez videohovor.
