En: It was one of those cold winter days in København. Da: Sneen dalede stille ned udenfor, og byens gader blev dækket af et hvidt tæppe. En: Snow quietly fell outside, and the city's streets were covered with a white blanket. Da: Mikkel sad i sin yndlingscafé, "Kafferiet", en hyggelig oase midt i den moderne forstad. En: Mikkel sat in his favorite café, "Kafferiet", a cozy oasis in the middle of the modern suburb. Da: Han sad ved det store vindue, hans computer foran sig, og lyttede til den lette jazzmusik, der svagt fyldte lokalet. En: He sat by the large window, his computer in front of him, listening to the light jazz music that faintly filled the room. Da: Caféens varme omfavnede ham, og duften af nybrygget kaffe blandede sig med den søde aroma fra friskbagte kager. En: The café's warmth embraced him, and the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the sweet aroma of freshly baked cakes. Da: Denne dag var dog anderledes. En: However, this day was different. Da: En pludselig snebyge tvang endnu en sjæl ind i caféens trygge favn. En: A sudden snowstorm forced another soul into the café's safe haven. Da: Anna trådte ind, rystede sneen af sin frakke og kiggede sig omkring. En: Anna stepped in, shook the snow off her coat, and looked around. Da: Hun var florist og bar en blomstrede jakke, der næsten bragte forårets farver ind i det vinterklædte rum. En: She was a florist and wore a floral jacket that almost brought the colors of spring into the winter-clad room. Da: Hendes øjne fangede hurtigt perfekt det ledige bord ved siden af Mikkel. En: Her eyes quickly caught the perfect empty table next to Mikkel. Da: "Hej," sagde hun, mens hun satte sig. En: "Hi," she said as she sat down. Da: "Er det ikke bare vildt med vejret?" En: "Isn't the weather just crazy?" Da: Mikkel kiggede op fra sin skærm, en smule overrasket over hendes direkte approach. En: Mikkel looked up from his screen, a bit surprised by her direct approach. Da: "Jo, det er ganske uventet," svarede han kort, mere vant til skærme end småsnak. En: "Yes, it's quite unexpected," he replied briefly, more accustomed to screens than small talk. Da: Anna smilede. En: Anna smiled. Da: "Jeg elsker sådan nogle dage. En: "I love days like these. Da: Det er som om verden får et pause-øjeblik." En: It's as if the world takes a pause moment." Da: Hendes ord fik Mikkel til at tænke. En: Her words made Mikkel think. Da: En pause var ikke noget, han ofte tillod sig selv. En: A pause was not something he often allowed himself. Da: Hans liv var en stram rutine, og netop her fandt han tryghed. En: His life was a tight routine, and that's where he found comfort. Da: Trods Mikkels reserverede væremåde begyndte samtalen at flyde. En: Despite Mikkel's reserved demeanor, the conversation began to flow. Da: Anna talte om sin blomsterbutik rundt om hjørnet, om hvordan blomsterne sov under vinterens tæppe. En: Anna talked about her flower shop around the corner, about how the flowers slept under the winter's blanket. Da: Mikkel delte lidt om sit job, om farver og former, der betagede ham i grafisk design. En: Mikkel shared a little about his job, about the colors and shapes that fascinated him in graphic design. Da: Anna blev en hyppig gæst i caféen, altid med samme smil og sprudlende energi. En: Anna became a frequent visitor to the café, always with the same smile and sparkling energy. Da: Hun satte sig stadig hos Mikkel, uanset hvor kort deres samtaler kunne være. En: She still sat with Mikkel, no matter how brief their conversations might be. Da: Han begyndte at se frem til disse små afbrydelser. En: He began to look forward to these small interruptions. Da: Dage blev...

En: In the university library, there was a special calm, only interrupted by the gentle sound of pages turning and keyboard clicks. Da: Vinterens kulde sneg sig ind mellem murene, men indenfor var der varmt og indbydende, som om bøgerne selv krammede lokalet. En: Winter's cold snuck in between the walls, but inside it was warm and inviting, as if the books themselves embraced the room. Da: Mikkel sad ved et bord i hjørnet, skjult bag bunker af ingeniørbøger. En: Mikkel sat at a table in the corner, hidden behind piles of engineering books. Da: Han havde altid foretrukket selskabet af bøger fremfor mennesker, men indeni brændte et stille ønske om mere. En: He had always preferred the company of books over people, but inside a quiet desire for more burned. Da: Hans ven Emil, altid fuld af energi, havde talt med Mikkel tidligere på morgenen. En: His friend Emil, always full of energy, had spoken with Mikkel earlier that morning. Da: "Du kan ikke gemme dig blandt bøgerne for altid, Mikkel. En: "You can't hide among the books forever, Mikkel. Da: Prøv at snakke med nogen, måske en som Freja. En: Try talking to someone, maybe someone like Freja. Da: Hun elsker litteratur," havde Emil sagt med et af sine smil, der kunne lyse ethvert rum op. En: She loves literature," Emil had said with one of his smiles that could light up any room. Da: Emil havde endda nævnt, hvordan biblioteket var det perfekte sted at møde nogen med samme interesse. En: Emil had even mentioned how the library was the perfect place to meet someone with the same interest. Da: Lidt modvilligt tog Mikkel Emil på ordet. En: A bit reluctantly, Mikkel took Emil at his word. Da: Han fandt styrke i hans råd og gik hen til et bord, hvor Freja sad. En: He found strength in his advice and went over to a table where Freja was sitting. Da: Hun var opslugt af en bog, hendes fingre strøg venligt over siderne som en gammel ven. En: She was engrossed in a book, her fingers gently stroking the pages like an old friend. Da: Mikkel satte sig forsigtigt, usikker på hvordan han skulle starte en samtale. En: Mikkel sat down cautiously, unsure of how to start a conversation. Da: Han blev dog snart reddet af Freja selv. En: However, he was soon rescued by Freja herself. Da: "Jeg ser, du har en bog af Murakami," sagde Freja med et smil, der fik Mikkel til at glemme sin nervøsitet et øjeblik. En: "I see you have a book by Murakami," said Freja with a smile that made Mikkel forget his nervousness for a moment. Da: Han nikkede, og de to begyndte at tale om bøger, ord og drømme. En: He nodded, and the two began to talk about books, words, and dreams. Da: Det var som om noget magisk skete. En: It was as if something magical happened. Da: De delte samme yndlingsforfatter, og samtalen flød let og naturligt mellem dem. En: They shared the same favorite author, and the conversation flowed easily and naturally between them. Da: Tiden fløj, og før de vidste af det, var biblioteket ved at lukke. En: Time flew, and before they knew it, the library was closing. Da: Freja så på Mikkel, og der var et glimt af håb i hendes øjne. En: Freja looked at Mikkel, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Da: "Skal vi ses igen? En: "Shall we meet again? Da: Måske kunne vi udforske boghandlen i byen og få en kop kaffe," foreslog hun. En: Maybe we could explore the bookstore in town and get a cup of coffee," she suggested. Da: Mikkel nikkede ivrigt, glad for at have taget chancen. En: Mikkel nodded eagerly, happy to have taken the chance. Da: Da de gik ud i den kolde vinternat sammen, følte Mikkel noget nyt inde i sig selv. En: As...

Da: Regnbuefarvede lyskæder svajede forsigtigt fra loftet, og en gammel sofa stod ved vinduet, dækket med forskellige puder. En: Rainbow-colored string lights swayed gently from the ceiling, and an old sofa stood by the window, covered with various cushions. Da: På væggene hang plakater fra tidligere fester og eksotiske rejser. En: Posters from past parties and exotic trips hung on the walls. Da: Freja tjekkede sin liste. En: Freja checked her list. Da: "Vi skal planlægge en fest," sagde hun bestemt. En: "We need to plan a party," she said decisively. Da: Men der var et lille problem; de kunne ikke huske, hvem festen var for. En: But there was a small problem; they couldn't remember who the party was for. Da: "Det må være nogens fødselsdag," sagde Magnus og rodede i en bunke papirer på bordet. En: "It must be someone's birthday," said Magnus, rummaging through a pile of papers on the table. Da: Jo tættere de nærmede sig Valentinsdag, jo mere travlt var det. En: The closer they got to Valentine's Day, the busier it became. Da: Men de var nødt til at være diskrete. En: But they had to be discreet. Da: Hvis de fejlede, kunne det blive en stor pinligt situation. En: If they failed, it could become a big embarrassing situation. Da: Freja ville ikke skuffe nogen, og Magnus ville bare have, at alle havde det sjovt. En: Freja didn't want to disappoint anyone, and Magnus just wanted everyone to have fun. Da: "Skal vi spørge vores venner?" En: "Should we ask our friends?" Da: foreslog Magnus og kiggede op fra sine papirer. En: suggested Magnus, looking up from his papers. Da: Freja rystede på hovedet. En: Freja shook her head. Da: "Nej, vi kan ikke afsløre vores plan," svarede hun. En: "No, we can't reveal our plan," she replied. Da: "Måske kan vi se på sociale medier." En: "Maybe we can check social media." Da: De brugte timer på at scrolle gennem Facebook, Instagram og endda Snapchat. En: They spent hours scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, and even Snapchat. Da: Men uden held. En: But without success. Da: Deres vennegruppe var stor, og tilsyneladende havde ingen nævnt en nærmende fødselsdag. En: Their group of friends was large, and apparently, no one had mentioned an upcoming birthday. Da: Magnus sukkede og lænede sig tilbage i sofaen. En: Magnus sighed and leaned back on the sofa. Da: "Måske er det på tide at give op," sagde han træt. En: "Maybe it's time to give up," he said tiredly. Da: Men så, som en uventet mirakel, opdagede Magnus noget. En: But then, like an unexpected miracle, Magnus discovered something. Da: Mellem sofapuderne fandt han et gammelt indbydelseskort. En: Between the sofa cushions, he found an old invitation card. Da: "Freja, se her!" En: "Freja, look here!" Da: råbte han triumferende. En: he shouted triumphantly. Da: På det krøllede kort stod der en glemt besked, "Du er inviteret til Marie's fødselsdag!" En: On the crumpled card was a forgotten message, "You are invited to Marie's birthday!" Da: Det var en invitation fra sidste år. En: It was an invitation from last year. Da: Freja sprang op i glæde. En: Freja jumped up in joy. Da: "Det er Marie! En: "It's Marie! Da: Vi planlægger for Marie!" En: We're planning for Marie!" Da: Med en følelse af lettelse og ny energi gik de i gang med de sidste forberedelser. En: With a sense of relief and new energy, they began the final preparations. Da: De pyntede værelset, bagte en kage og inviterede vennerne til en...

En: Freja arrived dressed in a green wool coat and a bright red cap, accompanied by Emma, her loyal friend. Da: Freja så skeptisk ud, da hun opdagede Søren, men hendes bløde øjne afslørede også en lille, spirende nysgerrighed. En: Freja looked skeptical when she spotted Søren, but her soft eyes also revealed a small, growing curiosity. Da: "Freja," begyndte Søren og forsøgte at holde stemmen rolig. En: "Freja," began Søren, trying to keep his voice steady. Da: "Tak fordi du kom." En: "Thank you for coming." Da: Freja nikkede kort. En: Freja nodded briefly. Da: "Jeg er her, fordi jeg vil høre, hvad du har at sige. En: "I'm here because I want to hear what you have to say. Da: Men det betyder ikke, at jeg tilgiver dig." En: But that doesn't mean I forgive you." Da: "Det forstår jeg," svarede Søren og inviterede dem ind i en nærliggende café, hvor varmen straks omfavnede dem. En: "I understand," replied Søren, inviting them into a nearby café where the warmth immediately embraced them. Da: Inde i caféen satte de sig ved et lille bord ved vinduet. En: Inside the café, they sat at a small table by the window. Da: Snefnuggene fortsatte deres stille dans udenfor, mens Søren rakte en gammel bamse frem. En: The snowflakes continued their gentle dance outside while Søren handed over an old teddy bear. Da: Det var Frejas, fra da hun var barn. En: It was Freja's, from when she was a child. Da: "Jeg har beholdt denne, lige siden du forlod os," sagde han stille. En: "I've kept this ever since you left us," he said quietly. Da: Frejas fingre strøg over bamsen. En: Freja's fingers ran over the teddy bear. Da: Hun huskede tydeligt dens slidte pels og den lille sløjfe, hun havde sat på for mange år siden. En: She vividly remembered its worn fur and the little bow she had fixed on it many years ago. Da: "Jeg har begået fejl, Freja. En: "I've made mistakes, Freja. Da: Store fejl," indrømmede Søren. En: Big mistakes," admitted Søren. Da: "Jeg ved, at ord ikke kan ændre fortiden, men jeg vil gerne vise, at jeg er forandret. En: "I know words can't change the past, but I want to show that I have changed. Da: Jeg ønsker bare at være en del af dit liv igen, hvis du tillader det." En: I just want to be a part of...

Da: “Sneen gør magien ny.” Mikkel kiggede igen. En: “The snow makes the magic new.” Mikkel looked again. Da: Den grå himmel, snefnuggene, havfruen – det hele fik en ny betydning.

En: Jesper explained his mistake, and Lars laughed heartily. Da: "Lad os se, hvad vi kan gøre sammen," foreslog Lars. En: "Let's see what we can do together," suggested Lars. Da: Bevæbnet med simple spader og en spand, gik Jesper og Maja i gang. En: Armed with simple shovels and a bucket, Jesper and Maja got started. Da: Jesper manglede erfaring med sand, men hans kunstneriske sans kom til live. En: Jesper lacked experience with sand, but his artistic sense came alive. Da: "Hvordan får man sand til at stå," spurgte han. En: "How do you get sand to stand?" he asked. Da: Lars svarede: "Fugt er nøglen, men pas på, det fryser let." En: Lars replied, "Moisture is the key, but be careful, it freezes easily." Da: Timerne gik, og Jesper byggede ivrigt. En: Hours passed, and Jesper built eagerly. Da: Til tider lignede hans borg mere en bunke sne end et mesterværk. En: At times, his castle looked more like a pile of snow than a masterpiece. Da: Maja heppede fra sidelinjen, og Lars gav små tips. En: Maja cheered from the sidelines, and Lars offered small tips. Da: Men som solen begyndte at gå ned, skete katastrofen. En: But as the sun began to set, disaster struck. Da: Koldvinden blæste, og Jespers struktur kollapsede. En: The cold wind blew, and Jesper’s structure collapsed. Da: Sandet var blevet til is og bøjet forkert. En: The sand had turned to ice and bent incorrectly. Da: Skuffelsen var stor. En: The disappointment was great. Da: "Hvad nu?" spurgte Maja forsigtigt. En: "What now?" Maja asked cautiously. Da: Men Jesper så på ruinen og fik en idé. En: But Jesper looked at the ruin and got an idea. Da: Med kreativitet og desperation formede han de faldne sandstykker til skulpturer. En: With creativity and desperation, he shaped the fallen sand pieces into sculptures. Da: Det blev til en...

Da: Inde i biblioteket, bag de store træpaneler, sad Freja. En: Inside the library, behind the large wooden panels, sat Freja. Da: Hun stirrede på sin bærbare computer med bekymret mine.

Da: "Det gør altid dagen lidt bedre." En: "It always makes the day a bit better." Da: Freja smilede taknemmeligt, men hendes tanker var stadig tynget.

Da: Nikolaj og Maja forsøgte at inkludere Freja i samtalen om eksamenstips, men Freja sagde ikke meget.

En: "It's okay to be nervous. Da: Men du behøver ikke klare det alene. En: But you don't have to handle it alone. Da: Vi er her for dig." En: We're here for you." Da: Freja følte en bølge af lettelse. En: Freja felt a wave of relief. Da: Hun vidste, at de havde ret. En: She knew they were right.

En: Jakob took a deep breath and stepped into the Amazonas rainforest with a dreamy look. Da: Det var sommer på den sydlige halvkugle, og luften var varm og fugtig. En: It was summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and the air was warm and humid. Da: Hans støvler sank ned i den bløde jord, hvor farvestrålende blade og tordenmos vældede op omkring ham. En: His boots sank into the soft soil, where colorful leaves and thunder moss swelled up around him. Da: Solens stråler trængte igennem det tykke trækronetag og kastede et magisk lysspil på skovbunden. En: The sun's rays pierced through the thick tree canopy, casting a magical play of light on the forest floor. Da: Det lød som om skoven trak vejret – et orkester af insekter, fugle og fjerne aber gav deres bidrag. En: It sounded as if the forest was breathing – an orchestra of insects, birds, and distant monkeys contributed their parts. Da: Jakob var ikke alene. En: Jakob was not alone. Da: Freja og Mikkel fulgte ham, begge med ryksække fulde af forskningsudstyr. En: Freja and Mikkel followed him, both with backpacks full of research equipment. Da: Freja, en dyrelivsekspert, og Mikkel, botaniker med et skarpt øje og skeptisk sind. En: Freja, a wildlife expert, and Mikkel, a botanist with a keen eye and a skeptical mind. Da: De havde alle travlt, men Jakob havde sit eget mål – at finde en ny planteart, der ville give ham en plads i historiebøgerne. En: They were all busy, but Jakob had his own goal – to find a new plant species that would secure him a place in the history books. Da: "Er du sikker på, at der er noget værd at finde her, Jakob?" En: "Are you sure there's anything worthwhile to find here, Jakob?" Da: spurgte Freja og tørrede sveden af panden. En: asked Freja, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Da: Mikkel nikkede og tilføjede, "Jeg har hørt mange teorier, men vi skal se beviser." En: Mikkel nodded and added, "I've heard many theories, but we need to see evidence." Da: Jakob svarede ikke direkte, han kunne mærke deres tvivl. En: Jakob didn't answer directly; he could feel their doubt. Da: Men det gav ham kun mere vilje til at fortsætte. En: But it only gave him more determination to continue. Da: Hans mentors ord om udholdenhed og troen på det utænkelige lød i hans ører. En: His mentor's words about perseverance and belief in the unthinkable echoed in his ears. Da: Regnskoven var tæt og vanskelig at navigere, men Jakob nægtede at give op. En: The rainforest was dense and difficult to navigate, but Jakob refused to give up. Da: De gik dybere ind i skoven. En: They went deeper into the forest. Da: Stierne blev mere udfordrende, og Jakob spekulerede over, om de nogensinde ville nå målet. En: The paths became more challenging, and Jakob wondered if they would ever reach the goal. Da: Men så, pludselig, ved kanten af en skrænt, så han det – en usædvanlig plante med livlige, lilla blomster og brede blade. En: But then, suddenly, at the edge of a cliff, he saw it – an unusual plant with vibrant purple flowers and broad leaves. Da: Hans hjerte sprang et slag over. En: His heart skipped a beat. Da: Problemet var nu, at planten var vanskelig at nå. En: The problem now was that the plant was difficult to reach. Da: Den voksede farligt tæt på en dyb afgrund. En: It grew perilously close to a deep precipice. Da: Jakob vidste, han måtte være forsigtig. En: Jakob knew he had to be careful. Da: Han trådte et skridt tilbage og tænkte. En: He took a step back and thought. Da: "Vi skal få fat i den uden at risikere noget," sagde Jakob beslutsomt. En: "We have to get it without risking anything," Jakob said determinedly. Da: Freja havde en...

En: On a clear, frosty winter day, as Valentine's Day was approaching, Søren stood by the iconic Little Mermaid statue in København's harbor. Da: Han var iført en tyk, blå frakke og et halstørklæde, der næsten dækkede hans ansigt. En: He was wearing a thick, blue coat and a scarf that almost covered his face. Da: Den iskolde luft bed i hans kinder, men intet skulle stoppe ham fra dagens mission. En: The icy air nipped at his cheeks, but nothing was going to stop him from his mission today. Da: Han havde en plan. En: He had a plan. Da: Søren var en ung mand med en klodsmajor-tendens. En: Søren was a young man with a tendency to be a bit clumsy.

En: He believed that a beautiful picture might make Anna notice him. Da: "Det skal være perfekt," mumlede Søren for sig selv, mens han indstillede kameraet på sin telefon. En: "It must be perfect," Søren mumbled to himself as he adjusted the camera on his phone. Da: Rundt om den Lille Havfrue lå sneen i små klatter, og isen glitrede på stenene som diamanter, hvilket gjorde stedet både smukt og farligt. En: Around the Little Mermaid, the snow lay in small patches, and the ice glittered on the stones like diamonds, making the place both beautiful and dangerous. Da: Lars, en af hans venner, havde sagt, at han skulle passe på, men Søren var fast besluttet. En: Lars, one of his friends, had said he should be careful, but Søren was determined. Da: Han overvejede et øjeblik at spørge en forbipasserende om hjælp, da en lille gruppe turister gik forbi. En: He considered for a moment asking a passerby for help as a small group of tourists walked by. Da: Men hans stolthed vandt. En: But his pride prevailed. Da: Søren ville klare det selv. En: Søren wanted to manage it himself. Da: Med telefonen klar til at tage et billede, tog Søren et skridt nærmere statuen. En: With the phone ready to take a picture, Søren took a step closer to the statue. Da: "Bare et skridt mere," tænkte han. En: "Just one more step," he thought. Da: Men lige i det øjeblik glemte han at være forsigtig, og hans fod fandt en isglat sten. En: But just at that moment, he forgot to be careful, and his foot found an icy stone. Da: I det næste sekund greb tyngdekraften fat. En: In the next second, gravity took hold. Da: Søren gled og faldt med et plask ned i det kolde, grå vand. En: Søren slipped and fell with a splash into the cold, gray water. Da: Turisterne omkring ham udbrød i latter, og Søren svømmede hurtigt tilbage mod land, mens han følte sig mere kold end nogensinde før. En: The tourists around him burst into laughter, and Søren swam quickly back to shore, feeling colder than ever. Da: Men til hans overraskelse lød Annas stemme pludselig: "Er du okay, Søren?" En: But to his surprise, Anna's voice suddenly sounded: "Are you okay, Søren?" Da: Anna, der tilfældigvis var forbi med en kop varm kaffe i hånden, skyndte sig hen for at hjælpe ham op. En: Anna, who happened to be passing by with a cup of warm coffee in hand, rushed over to help him up. Da: Søren smilede forsigtigt, våd og rystende af kulde. En: Søren smiled cautiously, wet and shivering from the cold. Da: "Ja, jeg har det fint," fnisede han, "For det meste." En: "Yes, I'm fine," he giggled, "For the most part." Da: Anna lo og tilbød ham den varme kop kaffe. En: Anna laughed and offered him the warm cup...

Da: Gruppen af skoleelever stod tæt samlet i sneen, run omkring deres lærer, som talte energisk om slottets historie. En: The group of school children stood closely gathered in the snow, circled around their teacher, who was energetically speaking about the castle's history. Da: Soren og Freja stod ved siden af hinanden, begge spændte, men af forskellige grunde. En: Soren and Freja stood next to each other, both excited, but for different reasons. Da: Soren havde sin skitseblok klar. En: Soren had his sketchpad ready. Da: Han elskede at tegne de historiske genstande, men frygtede aldrig at få tid alene til det. En: He loved drawing historical artifacts but always feared not having enough alone time to do it. Da: Freja, derimod, så frem til at udforske hver krog og krog af det gamle slot. En: Freja, on the other hand, was looking forward to exploring every nook and cranny of the old castle. Da: Indenfor i slottet fyldte lyden af deres skridt de storhertugelige haller. En: Inside the castle, the sound of their footsteps filled the grand ducal halls. Da: Sne var stadig en bølgende hinde på dørkarmene udenfor. En: Snow lingered as a gentle cover on the door frames outside. Da: Deres lærer insisterede på, at de holdt sammen. En: Their teacher insisted they stick together. Da: "For sikkerhedens skyld," sagde han. En: "For safety's sake," he said. Da: Men Soren længtes efter ro. En: But Soren longed for peace. Da: "Freja," hviskede han, "hvad tror du om at finde et stille sted at tegne?" En: "Freja," he whispered, "what do you think about finding a quiet place to draw?" Da: Freja glimtede i øjet. En: Freja twinkled with mischief. Da: "Jeg holder vagt. Lad os finde noget mere spændende!" svarede hun muntert. En: "I'll stand guard. Let's find something more exciting!" she answered cheerfully. Da: De to bar langsiden af gruppen, mens læreren var optaget af at forklare nærmere detaljer om Christian IV. En: The two lingered at the side of the group, while the teacher was busy expounding more details about Christian IV. Da: I en af de langstrakte korridorer pegede Freja afstresset mod en smal dør gemt bag en stor, tung gobelin. En: In one of the elongated corridors, Freja pointed excitedly at a narrow door hidden behind a large, heavy tapestry. Da: "Dér! Lad os se, hvor den fører hen," sagde hun. En: "There! Let's see where that leads," she said. Da: Soren tøvede kort, men nysgerrigheden overmandede ham. En: Soren hesitated briefly, but curiosity got the better of him. Da: Døren knirkede lidt, da de skubbede den op og gik igennem. En: The door creaked a bit as they pushed it open and went through. Da: Pasagen bag døren var mørk og trang, men åbnede sig snart op til et rum, der ikke var en del af turen. En: The passage behind the door was dark and cramped, but soon opened up into a room that wasn't part of the tour. Da: Rummet var fyldt med gamle genstande - rustninger, gamle kort og fine porcelænsvaser. En: The room was filled with old artifacts – armor, ancient maps, and fine porcelain vases. Da: Alt var dækket af et tyndt lag støv. En: Everything was covered in a thin layer of dust. Da: Soren tog straks sin skitseblok frem og følte en bølge af inspiration. En: Soren immediately took out his sketchpad and felt a wave of inspiration. Da: Freja gik rundt, betaget af rummets mystik. En: Freja wandered around, entranced by the room's mystique. Da: "Det her er fantastisk, Soren, se alle disse historier gemt væk," sagde hun blidt. En: "This is amazing, Soren, look at all these stories hidden away," she said...

Da: De tre venner vandrede gennem den ødelagte by og søgte efter medicin til Lars' syge søster. En: The three friends wandered through the ruined city searching for medicine for Lars' sick sister. Da: Alt var forandret, efter verden faldt sammen. En: Everything had changed after the world collapsed. Da: Bygningerne var ruiner, og alle måtte arbejde hårdt for at overleve. En: The buildings were ruins, and everyone had to work hard to survive. Da: Lars havde hørt om sjældne mediciner, der kunne hjælpe hans søster. En: Lars had heard about rare medicines that could help his sister. Da: Men medicinen var i en isoleret zone. En: But the medicine was in an isolated zone. Da: En zone kendt for farlige fraktioner, der beskyttede deres territorier med voldsomt forsvar. En: A zone known for dangerous factions that defended their territories with fierce defense. Da: Lars vidste, at han ikke kunne klare det alene, så han havde brug for Frejas og Mikkels hjælp. En: Lars knew he couldn't do it alone, so he needed Freja's and Mikkel's help.

Da: Hendes forhandlingsevner havde mange gange reddet dem. En: Her negotiation skills had saved them many times. Da: Mikkel, som var ingeniør, kunne reparere næsten alt, hvilket ofte kom de tre venner til gode. En: Mikkel, who was an engineer, could fix almost anything, which often benefited the three friends. Da: Da de nåede tæt på zonen, stod Lars overfor en alvorlig beslutning. En: As they approached the zone, Lars faced a serious decision. Da: Skulle han forsøge at tale med fraktionens leder? En: Should he attempt to talk to the faction's leader? Da: Eller skulle han snige sig ind? En: Or should he sneak in? Da: Freja mente, at forhandling kunne være farligt, men muligvis nødvendigt, mens Mikkel foreslog en anden tilgang. En: Freja thought negotiation could be dangerous, but possibly necessary, while Mikkel suggested another approach. Da: "Vi kan bruge gamle tunnelbaner," sagde Mikkel og pegede på et kort over området. En: "We can use old subway tunnels," said Mikkel, pointing to a map of the area. Da: "Det er risikabelt, men vi kan undgå mange vagter." En: "It’s risky, but we can avoid many guards." Da: De besluttede sig til sidst for en kombination. En: They finally decided on a combination. Da: Freja gik for at forhandle, mens Mikkel og Lars brugte tunnelbanerne. En: Freja went to negotiate, while Mikkel and Lars used the subway tunnels. Da: Under jorden var det mørkt og koldt, men de to bevægede sig hurtigt gennem de smalle passager. En: Underground it was dark and cold, but the two moved quickly through the narrow passages. Da: Ovenfor mødte Freja lederen af fraktionen. En: Above, Freja met the faction’s leader. Da: Det var en stor, skræmmende mand, som krævede en umulig handel: alle deres mad og ressourcer for lidt medicin. En: He was a large, intimidating man who demanded an impossible deal: all their food and resources for a little medicine. Da: Freja forblev rolig, men vidste, at hun måtte finde en anden løsning. En: Freja remained calm, but knew she had to find another solution. Da: Da Lars og Mikkel kom tættere på medicindepotet, fandt de en skjult gang fyldt med gamle forsyninger. En: As Lars and Mikkel came closer to the medicine depot, they found a hidden passage filled with old supplies. Da: Nogle af dem var medicinen, de havde brug for. En: Some of them were...
