Nekdo, ki nima dobrih namenov," je dodala z zaskrbljenim pogledom.En: "Or what if someone else is there? Someone who doesn't have good intentions," she added with a worried look.Sl: Matevž pa je čutil, da mora raziskati.En: But Matevž felt he had to investigate.Sl: Našel je tolažbo v misli, da 1. novembra, na dan vseh svetih, morda odkrije, kaj ga tako vabi.En: He found comfort in the thought that on November 1st, All Saints' Day, he might discover what was calling him.Sl: Vseeno jim je zagotovil, da bo previden.En: Nevertheless, he assured them he would be careful.Sl: Na dan vseh svetih so se oblaki zgostili nad mestom in tema je legla že zgodaj.En: On All Saints' Day, clouds gathered over the town, and darkness fell early.Sl: Matevž je natočill svetilko, pogumno zakorakal proti skladišču.En: Matevž filled his flashlight and boldly marched toward the warehouse.Sl: Kljub strahu, je srce tikalo polno vznemirjenja.En: Despite his fear, his heart ticked full of excitement.Sl: Stopil je v notranjost.En: He stepped inside.Sl: Skladišče je bilo tiho, le odmev njegovih stopinj je spremljal njegovo pot med starimi, zaprašenimi stroji in lesenimi zaboji.En: The warehouse was silent, only the echo of his footsteps accompanied his path among the old, dusty machines and wooden crates.Sl: Našel je stopnišča, ki ga je vodilo do majhne sobe, o kateri ni vedel.En: He found stairs that led him to a small room he didn't know about.Sl: Luč je utripala skozi ozko špranjo pod vrati.En: The light flickered through a narrow crack under the door.Sl: Z dominom na srcu, je pritisnil kljuko in odprl vrata.En: With a pounding heart, he pressed the handle and opened the door.Sl: Na mizi je stala luč stare elektronike, osvetljujoč pisma in fotografije.En: On the table stood a light from old electronics, illuminating letters and photographs.Sl: Spuščeni prah je trosil zgodbe.En: The settling dust scattered stories.Sl: Vzel je enega izmed listov in prepoznal dedkov rokopis.En: He picked up one of the sheets and recognized his grandfather's handwriting.Sl: Pisal je o delu in skrivnostih, ki jih je skrival s to staro napravo.En: It spoke of work and secrets he had hidden with this old device.Sl: Bil je člen v dolgi verigi družinskih skrivnosti, ki jih Matevž ni poznal.En: It was a link in a long chain of family secrets that Matevž did not know.Sl: Zbrane fotografije so kazale trenutke njegovega dedka, ki jih ni videl nikoli prej.En: The gathered photographs showed moments of his grandfather that he had never seen before.Sl: Matevž je stopil bližje k skrivnostim, ki so skupaj z lučjo razblinile njegove dvome.En: Matevž stepped closer to the secrets, which, along with the light, dispelled his doubts.Sl: Znova zunaj, Matevž je dihal globoko.En: Outside again, Matevž breathed deeply.Sl: Počutil se je bližje dedku in lastni družini.En: He felt closer to his grandfather and his own family.Sl: Njegova radovednost ni bila več le otroška igra.En: His curiosity was no longer just child's play.Sl: Zdaj je vedel, kako se soočiti z resnico - s premišljenostjo namesto z nepremišljeno drznostjo.En: Now he knew how to face the truth—with thoughtfulness rather than reckless daring.Sl: Ko se je vračal k prijateljem, so stali na robu hriba in ga čakali.En: As he returned to his friends, they were standing on the edge of the hill waiting for him.Sl: Matevž se je smejal in že iz daljave mahal z rokami, prežet z novim spoštovanjem do preteklosti.En: Matevž laughed and was already waving his arms from a distance, filled with a newfound respect for the past.Sl: Ta izkušnja ga je spremenila.En: This experience changed him.Sl: Zdaj je vedel, kje so njegove korenine in kakšne zgodbe so jih oblikovale, resnične in polne večne svetlobe iz skrivnostnega skladišča.En: Now he knew where his roots were and the stories that shaped them, true and full of eternal light from the mysterious warehouse.
