En: "You did it!"
Hr: " uzvikuje Ana.
En: exclaims Ana.
Hr: Grad vani zvuči s božićnim pjesmama.
En: The city outside echoes with Christmas songs.
Hr: Luka osjeća da je dobio više od financiranja — dobio je povjerenje u sebe, svoje snove i vrijednost svog rada.
En: Luka feels he gained more than funding — he gained confidence in himself, his dreams, and the value of his work.
Hr: Dok vani lampice i dalje svijetle, u Luki se budi nova svjetlost.

Hr: Drži u rukama početak uspjeha i slavi novostečenu vjeru u svoje sposobnosti.
En: He holds in his hands the beginning of success and celebrates the newfound faith in his abilities.
