En: Long ago, Suomi was a beautiful land. Fi: Puhdas luonto, siniset järvet ja vihreät metsät loivat rauhallisen maiseman. En: Pristine nature, blue lakes, and green forests created a peaceful landscape. Fi: Mutta se maailma oli poissa. En: But that world was gone. Fi: Nyt maisema oli kuin unohdettu unelma—sortuneet rakennukset ja villikasvit ottivat vallan. En: Now the landscape was like a forgotten dream—crumbling buildings and wild plants took over. Fi: Ihmiset harhailivat raunioiden keskellä, etsien toivoa ja elämää. En: People wandered amidst the ruins, searching for hope and life. Fi: Aino kulki eteenpäin, päättäväisyyttä katseessaan.
