Story Transcript:
Da: Det var en kølig efterårsdag.
En: It was a cool autumn day.
Da: Bladene dansede langs fortovene, og himlen var dækket af tunge skyer.
En: The leaves danced along the sidewalks, and the sky was covered with heavy clouds.
Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding, da hun stod foran den store skolebygning.
En: Freja took a deep breath as she stood in front of the large school building.
Da: Det var valgdagen, og hun vidste, hvor vigtigt det var at få sin stemme hørt.
En: It was election day, and she knew how important it was to have her voice heard.
Da: Da hun trådte ind i gymnastiksalen, blev hun mødt af et virvar af lyde.
En: As she stepped into the gymnasium, she was greeted by a chaos of sounds.
Da: Mennesker stod i lange køer, lysene skinnede skarpt ned fra loftet, og lyden af folk, der snakkede, frembragte et konstant, summende lydtæppe.
En: People stood in long lines, the lights shone brightly down from the ceiling, and the sound of people talking created a constant humming backdrop.
Da: Freja begyndte at mærke den velkendte knude af angst i maven.
En: Freja began to feel the familiar knot of anxiety in her stomach.
Da: Lige ved sin side stod hendes ven Lukas.
En: Right beside her stood her friend Lukas.
Da: Han gav hende et opmuntrende smil.
En: He gave her an encouraging smile.
Da: "Du klarer det her, Freja.
En: "You've got this, Freja.
Da: Jeg er lige her," sagde han beroligende.
En: I’m right here," he said soothingly.
Da: Freja nikkede, men hendes hænder rystede en smule, da hun krammede sin stemmeseddel.
En: Freja nodded, but her hands shook slightly as she clutched her ballot.
Da: Mens de stillede sig i køen, skød angsten igen op i hende, og hendes syn blev sløret.
En: As they queued, the anxiety surged up in her again, and her vision blurred.
Da: Alt omkring hende virkede overvældende, og hendes hjerte slog hurtigere.
En: Everything around her seemed overwhelming, and her heart beat faster.
Da: Et øjeblik føltes det, som om der ikke var nok luft i rummet.
En: For a moment, it felt as though there wasn't enough air in the room.
Da: Mikkel, en opmærksom medarbejder ved afstemningsstedet, bemærkede Frejas uro.
En: Mikkel, a perceptive employee at the polling station, noticed Freja's distress.
Da: Han gik hen til hende med et roligt smil.
En: He approached her with a calm smile.
Da: "Hej, jeg hedder Mikkel.
En: "Hi, my name is Mikkel.
Da: Du ser ud til at have det lidt svært.
En: You look like you're having a bit of a hard time.
Da: Er der noget, jeg kan gøre for at hjælpe?"
En: Is there anything I can do to help?"
Da: spurgte han venligt.
En: he asked kindly.
Da: Freja kiggede på ham, overrasket over hans venlighed.
En: Freja looked at him, surprised by his kindness.
Da: "Jeg har lidt angst... det er bare ret overvældende," indrømmede hun stille.
En: "I have a bit of anxiety... it's just really overwhelming," she admitted quietly.
Da: "Det er helt i orden," sagde Mikkel.
