Story Transcript:
No: I det lille tettstedet, omfavnet av høstens farger, lå det et gammel trehus.
En: In the small village, embraced by the colors of autumn, lay an old wooden house.
No: Dette huset hadde vært hjemmet til Lars og Astrid i deres barndom.
En: This house had been the childhood home of Lars and Astrid.
No: Nå sto det der som et symbol på minner de begge hadde flyktet fra.
En: Now it stood there as a symbol of memories they both had fled from.
No: Lars knirket opp den gamle trappen og åpnet døren til loftet.
En: Lars creaked up the old stairs and opened the door to the attic.
No: Støvet hang i luften, og lukten av gamle bøker fylte nesen.
En: Dust hung in the air, and the smell of old books filled his nose.
No: "Lars, kan du gi meg en hånd?" ropte Astrid fra den andre enden av loftet.
En: "Lars, can you give me a hand?" yelled Astrid from the other end of the attic.
No: Hun sto med et gammelt, lekkende bøtte og prøvde å balansere det ved det dryppende taket.
En: She stood with an old, leaking bucket trying to balance it under the dripping roof.
No: "Jeg fikser det," svarte Lars kort, hans stemme litt skarpere enn ment.
En: "I'll fix it," Lars replied shortly, his voice a bit sharper than intended.
No: Han visste at Astrid var der for mer enn bare et lekk tak.
En: He knew that Astrid was there for more than just a leaky roof.
No: Men han hadde ikke tid for store prat.
En: But he didn't have time for big talk.
No: Han syklet mellom esker fulle av barndomsminner, lette etter noe.
En: He cycled between boxes full of childhood memories, searching for something.
No: Noe som kanskje kunne bevise overfor Astrid at hans valg ikke var feil.
En: Something that might prove to Astrid that his choices were not wrong.
No: At hans drømmer om musikk kunne bli til virkelighet på tross av familiens tvil.
En: That his dreams of music could become a reality despite the family's doubts.
No: Astrid, derimot, så på broren sin med uro.
En: Astrid, on the other hand, looked at her brother with concern.
No: Det var mange ord mellom dem som aldri hadde blitt sagt.
En: There were many words between them that had never been spoken.
No: Hun sukket stille og sa, "Lars, jeg vil gjerne hjelpe.
En: She sighed quietly and said, "Lars, I would like to help.
No: Jeg tror... kanskje vi bør snakke." Hennes stemme var mild, men hun visste ikke om den nådde Lars i det hele tatt.
En: I think... maybe we should talk." Her voice was gentle, but she didn't know if it reached Lars at all.
No: Mens de flyttet gamle møbler, kom en uventet samtale i gang.
En: As they moved old furniture, an unexpected conversation arose.
No: "Husker du da vi pleide å spille gjemsel her oppe?" spurte Astrid, i et forsøk på å lette stemningen.
En: "Do you remember when we used to play hide and seek up here?" Astrid asked, trying to lighten the mood.
No: Lars lo, en ekte latter.
En: Lars laughed, a genuine laugh.
No: "Ja, du var alltid den verste til å gjemme deg," svarte han med et glimt i øynene.
En: "Yes, you were always the worst at hiding," he replied with a sparkle in his eyes.
No: Det skulle til å bli en bedre stemning da han plutselig følte brystet bli stramt.
En: The atmosphere was about to improve when he suddenly felt his chest tighten.
No: Pusten ble kort og anstr
