Arvo astub vaiksete sammudega läbi purunenud vanalinna.
Arvo steps with quiet footsteps through the ruined old town.
Sügise lehed krõbisevad tema jalgade all.
The autumn leaves crunch under his feet.
Taevas on hall ja ähvardab vihmaga.
The sky is gray and threatening rain.
Maarja kõnnib tema kõrval, nägu täis lootust, samas kui Kersti vaatab kahtlevalt ringi.
Maarja walks beside him, her face full of hope, while Kersti looks around doubtfully.
Raagus puud ja lagunenud hooned meenutavad möödunud maailma.
Bare trees and decayed buildings remind them of a world that has passed.
"Me peame jõudma sinna," ütleb Maarja entusiastlikult, viidates Humbkehanemi silla poole.
"We must get there," says Maarja enthusiastically, pointing towards the Humbkehanemi bridge.
"Seal on turvaline."
"It's safe there."
Või vähemalt nii on juttude kohaselt.
Or at least that's what the stories say.
Arvo raputab pead.
Arvo shakes his head.
"Kas me võime tõesti usaldada, mida teised räägivad?
"Can we really trust what others say?
Oleme teel näinud ainult ohtusid ja tühje lubadusi."
On our way, we've seen only dangers and empty promises."
Kersti noogutab kaasa.
Kersti nods in agreement.
Tema pragmaatilisus hoiab neid sageli maa peal.
Her pragmatism often keeps them grounded.
"On olnud liiga palju valejälgi," lausub ta madalal häälel.
"There have been too many false leads," she says in a low voice.
Nad liiguvad edasi, igal sammul adrenaliin voolamas.
They move on, adrenaline flowing with every step.
Toidumoona kott on kerge.
The food supply bag is light.
Seesama silla alla jääv ala on vastik.
The area beneath this bridge is repulsive.
Varem pidi see olema ilus, kuid nüüd valvavad selle ääri vaid risukuhjad ja prahimäed.
It used to be beautiful, but now only piles of rubbish and heaps of debris guard its edges.
Maarja vaatab üles.
Maarja looks up.
"Usun, et me leiame midagi head.
"I believe we will find something good.
Me ei saa alla anda," ütleb ta.
We can't give up," she says.
Tema optimism on nakkav.
Her optimism is contagious.
Isegi Kersti tunneb väikest lootusesädeme sädet.
Even Kersti feels a small spark of hope.
Aja möödudes jõuavad nad sildani.
As time passes, they reach the bridge.
See seisab ohtlikult, vaevalt püsti.
It stands precariously, barely upright.
Nad pöörduvad veelkord.
They turn once more.
"See on viimane võimalus," lükkab Kersti ette, kuid Maarja raputab taas pead.
"This is the last chance," urges Kersti, but Maarja shakes her head again.
"Me teeme ära."
"We'll make it."
Arvo teab, et nad peavad minema.
Arvo knows they must go.
Nad astuvad silla poole, iga samm viib neid lähemale tundmatule.
They step towards the bridge, each step taking them closer to the unknown.
Lõpus sillal seisab Arvo ja tema hingamine muutub raskeks.
At the end of the bridge, Arvo stands and his breathing becomes heavy.
See ei ole mitte hirm, vaid lootus.
It is not fear, but hope.
Koos nad lähevad, kandes endas muistse linna mälestusi ja tuleviku unistusi.
Together they go, carrying with them memories of the ancient city and dreams of the future.
Teisel pool ei oota neid mitte kuningriik, vaid vaikne, hülgamishõnguline kihelkond.
On the other side awaits not a kingdom but a quiet, abandoned-looking parish.
Kuid eemal on suitsusabasid ja liikumise märgid.
But in the distance, there are signs of smoke and movement.
Neil on mõtted üleval.
They have their thoughts high.
Arvo tardub hetkeks, mõeldes.
Arvo freezes for a moment, pondering.
"See võib olla meie uus algus," lausub ta ja istub kivi servale, vaadates tõusvat suitsu.
"This could be our new beginning," he says and sits on the edge of a stone, watching the rising smoke.
"Me ei ole enam üksi."
"We are no longer alone."
Maarja istub tema kõrvale ja Kersti jääb seisma nende taha.
Maarja sits beside him and Kersti remains standing behind them.
"Võib-olla saame siin midagi üles ehitada," ütleb Kersti lõpuks.
"Maybe we can build something here," says Kersti finally.
Nad seisavad mõnda aega seal vaikuses, ja Arvo tunneb, et tal on peas uus eesmärk.
They stand there in silence for a while, and Arvo feels a new goal forming in his mind.
Nende juurde lisanduvad uued sihid.
New aspirations join them.
Koos – Arvo, Maarja ja Kersti – nad hakkavad uut elu looma selles kummitavas uues maailmas.
Together – Arvo, Maarja, and Kersti – they start creating a new life in this haunting new world.
Tulevik ei tundu enam nii pime.
The future no longer seems so dark.
Nad on valmis koos ellu jääma ja uuesti alustama.
They are ready to survive and start anew together.
