En: In the heart of Rīga, in a high-rise building where the sun reflected off the glass windows, students gathered for the start of a new school year. Lv: Modernā vidusskola, kura atradās debesskrāpī, bija kā daudzkrāsains stāstu pūlis, kurā katram bija savas cerības un bailes. En: The modern high school, located in a skyscraper, was like a colorful crowd of stories, each with its own hopes and fears. Lv: Stāvi augšā, kur varēja redzēt visu pilsētu zemāk, rasa vēl mirdzēja uz logiem. En: On the upper floors, where one could see the entire city below, dew still gleamed on the windows. Lv: Jānis, kuru visi pazina kā izcilu skolēnu, jutās nemierīgs. En: Jānis, known by all as an excellent student, felt uneasy. Lv: Katru reizi, kad viņš gāja pa spīdīgajām gaitenēm, viņš juta ēnas, kas lika viņam just, ka šogad būs cita. En: Every time he walked down the shiny corridors, he felt the shadows that made him feel this year would be different. Lv: Nezināms bieds bija ienācis skolā - Maija, jauna skolniece no cita pilsētas stūra. En: An unknown apprehension had entered the school—Maija, a new student from another corner of the city. Lv: Maija, nelīdz šim pazīstama, stāvēja blakus lielajam logam, vērojot Vecpilsētas torņus. En: Maija, until now unfamiliar, stood by the large window, watching the towers of the Old Town. Lv: Viņa vēlējās draugus, bet viņas kautrība bija kā neredzama siena. En: She wanted friends, but her shyness was like an invisible wall… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/fluentfiction-latvian-6698356/episodes/friendship-in-high-a-new-school-year-in-r-ga-s-skyscraper/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluentfiction-latvian-6698356/friendship-in-high-a-new-school-year-in-r-ga-s-skyscraper.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
