En: The summer sun shone brightly through the windows of the high school science laboratory. Fi: Ulkona oli lämmin, mutta sisällä laboratoriossa Ilkka seurasi, kuinka touhuavat opiskelijat valmistautuivat biologiaan. En: Outside, it was warm, but inside the lab, Ilkka watched as busy students prepared for biology. Fi: Hän yritti keskittyä, mutta ajatukset karkailivat usein omille teilleen.
