Story Transcript:
No: Sola skinte sterkt gjennom de store vinduene i psykiatrisk avdeling.
En: The sun shone brightly through the large windows of the psychiatric ward.
No: Selve bygget var stille, men utenfor kunne man høre fuglene kvitre, og en svak duft av nyklippet gress snek seg inn gjennom de åpne vinduene.
En: The building itself was quiet, but outside one could hear the birds chirping, and a faint scent of freshly cut grass sneaked in through the open windows.
No: Sindre gikk langs korridoren med nølende skritt.
En: Sindre walked along the corridor with hesitant steps.
No: Han så rundt seg, tok inn den sterile atmosfæren som var forsøkt lysnet med fargerike gardiner og malerier av blomster.
En: He looked around, taking in the sterile atmosphere that had been brightened with colorful curtains and paintings of flowers.
No: Sindre var på vei til å besøke sin søster, Astrid.
En: Sindre was on his way to visit his sister, Astrid.
No: Hun hadde vært innlagt i noen uker etter en mental helsekrise.
En: She had been admitted for a few weeks after a mental health crisis.
No: Han tenkte stadig på hvordan hun hadde vært før, alltid så full av liv og latter.
En: He often thought about how she had been before, always so full of life and laughter.
No: Det var vanskelig å forstå hvordan det hadde endt slik.
En: It was hard to understand how it had ended up this way.
No: Han banket på døren til Astrids rom forsiktig.
En: He knocked gently on the door to Astrid's room.
No: "Kom inn," hørte han hennes svake røst si.
En: "Come in," he heard her weak voice say.
No: Inne på rommet satt Astrid i en stol ved vinduet.
En: Inside the room, Astrid sat in a chair by the window.
No: Hun så ut i hagen, som om hun lette etter noe der ute.
En: She looked out into the garden as if she were searching for something there.
No: "Heisann, søs," sa Sindre med et tappert smil mens han satte seg i stolen ved siden av henne.
En: "Hey, sis," said Sindre with a brave smile as he sat down in the chair next to her.
No: "Mamma og pappa hilser så mye.
En: "Mom and dad send their love.
No: De oppdaterer hagen som du alltid ønsket."
En: They're updating the garden as you always wanted."
No: Astrid nikket, men det var klart hun hadde noe annet i tankene.
En: Astrid nodded, but it was clear she had something else on her mind.
No: "Sindre," begynte hun etter en stund.
En: "Sindre," she began after a while.
No: "Jeg føler at det er noe du ikke forteller meg."
En: "I feel like there's something you're not telling me."
No: Sindre kjente en klump i magen.
En: Sindre felt a knot in his stomach.
No: Han ville hjelpe Astrid, få henne til å le igjen, men hemmeligheten han bar på truet med å bryte alt.
En: He wanted to help Astrid, make her laugh again, but the secret he carried threatened to break everything.
No: Han hadde skjult den for lenge.
En: He had hidden it for too long.
No: Nå, under hennes skarpe blikk, visste han at tiden var inne.
En: Now, under her piercing gaze, he knew the time had come.
No: "Det er noe jeg må fortelle deg," tok Sindre mot til seg.
En: "There is something I have to tell you," Sindre mustered the courage to say.
No: "Jeg har holdt det skjult fordi jeg var redd for å skade deg."
En: "I've kept it hidden because I was afraid of hurting you."
No: Astrid så på ham med det samme gjennomskuelige blikket.
En: Astrid looked at him with the same penetrating gaze.
No: "Jeg må vite," sa hun, stemmen like fast som hans var urolig.
En: "I need to know," she said, her voice as firm as his was uneasy.
No: Sindre nølte kort, men begynte så å snakke.
En: Sindre hesitated briefly, but then he began to speak.
No: "Den natten før du ble syk, kranglet vi.
En: "That night before you got sick, we argued.
No: Jeg sa ting jeg ikke mente fordi jeg var sint og redd.
En: I said things I didn't mean because I was angry and scared.
No: Den krangelen... det var min skyld."
En: That argument... it was my fault."
No: Tårer fylte Astrids øyne.
En: Tears filled Astrid's eyes.
No: "Det var ikke bare det," hvisket hun til slutt.
En: "It wasn't just that," she whispered at last.
No: "Men jeg trengte å høre sannheten fra deg."
En: "But I needed to hear the truth from you."
No: Sindre la en hånd på henne.
En: Sindre placed a hand on her.
No: "Jeg er så lei meg.
En: "I'm so sorry.
No: Jeg ønsker å hjelpe deg nå, være der for deg," sa han med en svak stemme.
En: I want to help you now, be there for you," he said softly.
No: De satt der en stund, begge fanget i en delt smerte, men også en begynnende forståelse.
En: They sat there for a while, both caught in a shared pain, but also a budding understanding.
No: "Vi finner ut av det sammen," svarte Astrid til slutt, bestemt, men vennlig.
En: "We'll figure it out together," Astrid replied finally, determined yet gentle.
No: "Men jeg trenger at du alltid er ærlig med meg fra nå av."
En: "But I need you to always be honest with me from now on."
No: Sola skinte fremdeles gjennom vinduene, men nå kjentes den varmere.
En: The sun still shone through the windows, but now it felt warmer.
No: I stillheten som fulgte, var det som om rommet fyltes av en ny begynnelse.
En: In the silence that followed, it was as if the room filled with a new beginning.
No: Sindre kjente en ro som spredte seg gjennom ham.
En: Sindre felt a calm spread through him.
No: Ja, tenkte han, sannheten var veien videre.
En: Yes, he thought, the truth was the way forward.
No: Sammen skulle de kanskje bygge noe nytt, sterkere enn før.
En: Together, perhaps they could build something new, stronger than before.
