En: Vid stood on a wooden pier stretching over a calm lake. Sl: Naokoli so se dvigali mogočni slovenski Alpe, oviti v pomladne dišave cvetočih divjih cvetlic. En: Around him rose the mighty Slovenian Alpe, wrapped in the spring fragrances of blooming wildflowers. Sl: Bila je sredina popoldneva, ko so pozdravni zvoki ptic prepletali tišino. En: It was the middle of the afternoon when the greeting sounds of birds intertwined with the silence. Sl: Retreat je bil znan kot mesto notranjega miru. En: The retreat was known as a place of inner peace. Sl: A ta mir je bil porušen, ko je izginilo dragoceno umetniško delo, ki je viselo v glavni dvorani. En: But this peace was disrupted when a precious piece of art, which hung in the main hall, disappeared. Sl: To ni bila le slika, ampak simbol tišine in razsvetljenja, ustvarjena z mislijo na harmonijo. En: It wasn't just a painting, but a symbol of silence and enlightenment, created with the thought of harmony. Sl: Vid je prišel na retreat z željo po tišini uma, a zdaj je njegov um brnel od skrbi in dvomov. En: Vid came to the retreat with a desire for a quiet mind, yet now his mind was buzzing with worries and doubts. Sl: Bil je zelo dober opazovalec, čeprav ga je njegova nemirna narava včasih odvračala od iskanja resničnega miru. En: He was a very good observer, though his restless nature sometimes distracted him from seeking true peace. Sl: Vsak udeleženec retreat-a je bil drugačen. En: Each participant of the retreat was different. Sl: Sabina je bila tiha, toda njen nasmeh je natočil toplino med vse prisotne. En: Sabina was quiet, but her smile poured warmth among all present. Sl: Po drugi strani je bila Maja skrivnostna, rada je preučevala druge, hikala svoje ideje in mislila na skrivnostni način. En: On the other hand, Maja was mysterious, she liked to study others, hold onto her ideas, and think in a mysterious way. Sl: "Vidi, kaj misliš, kdo bi lahko bil?" je nekega večera vprašala Sabina med hojo po gozdni poti. En: "Vidi, what do you think, who could it be?" asked Sabina one evening while walking on the forest path. Sl: "Ne vem," je odgovoril Vid, pazljivo gledajoč njene zelene oči, ki so bile podobne gozdu okoli njiju. En: "I don't know," answered Vid, carefully looking into her green eyes, which were akin to the forest around them. Sl: "Ampak nekaj mi ne da mira. Prav?" je nadaljeval, čeprav si ni upal spustiti svojih sumničavih misli. En: "But something doesn't sit well with me. Right?" he continued, though he didn't dare let go of his suspicious thoughts. Sl: V naslednjih dneh je Vid začel pazljivo opazovati dogajanja v retreatu. En: In the following days, Vid began to carefully observe the happenings at the retreat. Sl: Ni želel vzbujati suma, zato je svoja vprašanja spretno krojil. En: He didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he skillfully tailored his questions. Sl: Vsi so izgledali normalno, vendar se je vedno dojemanje lahko spremenilo. En: Everyone appeared normal, but perception can always change. Sl: Odpira se vprašanje, če se srce prehitro odpre, ali vid ne postane meglen? En: The question arises, if the heart opens too quickly, does vision not become blurred? Sl: Nekega večera opazi nekaj nenavadnega. En: One evening he noticed something unusual. Sl: Škripanje talnih desk v dvorani, kjer ni bilo nikogar. En: The creaking of floorboards in the hall where no one was supposed to be. Sl: Počasi se približa. En: Slowly, he approached. Sl: Tam, za vogalom, vidi Sabino. En: There, around the corner, he saw Sabina. Sl: Prej ne tako pogumna, a zdaj z izrazom ponosne odkritosti. En: Previously not so brave, but now with a look of proud revelation. Sl: Držala je v roki skrivnostno umetnino. En: She held the mysterious artwork in her hand. Sl: "Sabina?" je kriknil presenečeno. En: "Sabina?" he exclaimed in surprise. Sl: "Vidi," je Sabina globoko vdihnila. En: "Vidi," Sabina took a deep breath. Sl: "Nisem to želela. Sprejela sem umetnino zase. En: "I didn't want this. I took the artwork for myself. Sl: Hočem opozoriti na napake našega vodje. En: I want to point out the mistakes of our leader. Sl: Njegova krutost do narave me je preveč prizadela," je priznala z vzdihom. En: His cruelty to nature has hurt me too much," she admitted with a sigh. Sl: Vid se je počutil, kot da stoji na razpotju. En: Vid felt as if he was standing at a crossroads. Sl: Sabina je res bila nenavadna oseba s svojo skrito toplino in zdaj s svojim bremenom. En: Sabina truly was an unusual person with her hidden warmth and now with her burden. Sl: Zbral je vse svoje misli. En: He gathered all his thoughts. Sl: "Saj veš, da moramo to rešiti," je Vid rekel s prijaznim tonom. En: "You know we have to resol
