Thread: Cannot understand/translate some texts in game (Sakura Spirit)

Text: (Some girl) I don't know exactly what happened, but there was a big fire, and my parents got trapped inside our house. They never made it out. So yeah, don't tell me I am not....
Can't understand one more thing about it. Why is `nevern` used here? As I remember from textbooks, `never` almost always used with Perfect Tense. Also, does `The never made it out` in reality equal to `They didn't make it out`, i.e. `Они так и не смогли выбраться`?

"Dang it" is just a swear. Somewhat similar to блин, I think. Its like a lower level version of "Damn it". (Theres also "darn it")
That is a VERY extreme accent "It aren't no thing". I don't think even the southern U.S. speaks with that much "twisting" of a sentence. It means "It's nothing". In english, we cant say things like "Can't not laugh"(Unable to prevent yourself from laughing). It's great. But I guess, the more uneducated folk haven't been taught how to use them properly, so they say things like "We don't need no school." What it means: We DO need school...... What THEY mean: We don't need school. (With more emphasis on DONT)

И извините, что не сказал раньше, но большое Вам спасибо за Вашу помощь!

can это глагол, ему повторение глагола impress не нужно. И так ясно, к чему относится can.
Пожалуйста.

Text: (Thoughts) I quickly turned around, trying my best not to peek while she was changing and declared firmly. Предложение не окончено, там должно быть написано, что же именно он (или она, вы же нам не рассказываете, чьи это мысли) declared. (В определённой ситуации declare может означать "признаться в любви" или "сделать предложение", но вы не объяснили ситуацию в достаточной мере.)
Context: probably the same situtation. Can't say absolutely.
Problems:
Does `decalred firmly` mean `expose every part of a body`? Нет.

Если говорить о самом Text, то оно закончено, во всяком случае так его написал автор игры.
Мысли эти парня о ситуации, когда он случайно зашел в комнате к переодевающейся девушке, поэтому (как я понимаю) `turn around` и `trying no to peek`. (добавил это в первый пост)
Если бы в Text стояла точка после `was changing` - всё было бы понятно, но почему-то всё же автор добавил последнюю фразу, которая непойми что означает.

1. Yes, these are motions from the picture.
9. I've reread game. There really was some context about `nature` (`wind` actually). Is makes sense now.
11. `Turn away` = `show back for enemy`
14. As I guessed, `declared firmly` means `expose whole naked body` or something like this.


Thanks all for help!
