Enquanto observava as tartarugas deslizarem graciosamente na água, Tiago sentiu uma dor aguda na cabeça.

Uma enxaqueca.

A migraine.

A luz azul suave parecia agora um holofote ofuscante.

The soft blue light now seemed like a blinding spotlight.

Ele fechou os olhos por um momento, tentando afastar a dor.

He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to push the pain away.

“Tiago, estás bem?” perguntou Miguel, preocupado.

“Sim, só preciso de um momento,” respondeu Tiago, esforçando-se para sorrir.

“Yes, I just need a moment,” replied Tiago, struggling to smile.

Ele considerou sair, mas algo o impediu.

Ainda sentia a enxaqueca, mas era agora secundária à clareza mental que havia encontrado.

Ao sair do Oceanário, o barulho do mundo exterior recebeu-os.

“Vamos salvar o oceano.”

“Let’s save the ocean.”
