Story Transcript:
Da: Lars gik langs den brostensbelagte gade i Nyhavn.
En: Lars walked along the cobblestone street in Nyhavn.
Da: Den kølige, efterårsluft fyldte hans lunger, og rustne blade knasede under hans sko.
En: The cool, autumn air filled his lungs, and rusty leaves crunched beneath his shoes.
Da: Farverige huse spejlede sig i kanalen.
En: Colorful houses reflected in the canal.
Da: Han elskede dette sted, men i dag manglede han inspiration.
En: He loved this place, but today he lacked inspiration.

Da: Men nu?
En: But now?
Da: Færre opgaver, mere tvivl.
En: Fewer assignments, more doubt.
Da: Hans kamera hang slapt over skulderen.
En: His camera hung limply over his shoulder.
Da: Han stoppede ved en af de små caféer ved vandet.

Da: Freja og Lars havde været gode venner i gymnasiet.
En: Freja and Lars had been good friends in high school.
Da: Hun var nu en succesfuld journalist, altid ude i verden, mens han følte, han sad fast.
En: She was now a successful journalist, always out in the world, while he felt stuck.
Da: Hun smilede og satte sig ved hans bord.
En: She smiled and sat down at his table.
Da: De talte om gamle dage, grinte over minderne.
En: They talked about the old days, laughed over the memories.
Da: Men spørgsmålene plagede Lars.
En: But the questions plagued Lars.

Da: "Freja," sagde han stille, "jeg kæmper.
En: "Freja," he said quietly, "I'm struggling.
Da: Jeg kan ikke finde inspiration længere."
En: I can't find inspiration anymore."
