Story Transcript:

Da: På hospitalets sterilt hvide gange kunne man høre det summende lyd af maskiner og en stille mumlen fra sygeplejersker, der gik til og fra.
En: In the hospital's sterility white corridors, one could hear the humming sound of machines and a quiet murmur from nurses going to and fro.

Da: På trods af den alvorlige atmosfære indeni, skinnede solen klart gennem vinduerne og afslørede foråret udenfor.
En: Despite the serious atmosphere inside, the sun shone brightly through the windows, revealing the spring outside.

Da: Blomsterne blomstrede, og det grønne græs bølgede blidt i vinden.
En: The flowers were blooming, and the green grass waved gently in the wind.

Da: Freja stod ved informationsskranken.
En: Freja stood at the information desk.

Da: Hun havde altid hadet hospitaler.
En: She had always hated hospitals.

Da: Duften af antiseptiske rengøringsmidler mindede hende om barndommens sygedage.
En: The smell of antiseptic cleaners reminded her of sick days from childhood.

Da: Hendes gode ven, Kasper, havde været udsat for en ulykke på deres årlige cykeltur om foråret.
En: Her good friend, Kasper, had been in an accident during their annual spring bike ride.

Da: Som den omsorgsfulde ven hun var, kunne hun ikke holde sig væk, selv om det skabte uro i hende.
En: Being the caring friend she was, she couldn't stay away, even though it made her uneasy.

Da: Da hun kiggede op, så hun en mand, der vaklede lidt rundt med et kort over etagen i hånden.
En: When she looked up, she saw a man stumbling a bit with a floor map in hand.

Da: Han så forvirret ud.
En: He looked confused.

Da: "Hej," sagde hun venligt, "har du brug for hjælp?"
En: "Hi," she said kindly, "do you need help?"

Da: Manden så op og smilede.
En: The man looked up and smiled.

Da: "Åh, hej.
En: "Oh, hi.

Da: Ja, jeg leder efter afdeling 2B," svarede han og skubbede sine briller op på næsen.
En: Yes, I'm looking for ward 2B," he replied, pushing his glasses up his nose.

Da: "Jeg er Magnus."
En: "I'm Magnus."

Da: Freja kunne mærke, hvordan hendes hjerte bankede.
En: Freja could feel her heart pounding.

Da: Det var sjældent, hun henvendte sig til fremmede, men der var noget ved Magnus' varme smil, som beroligede hende.
En: It was rare for her to approach strangers, but there was something about Magnus' warm smile that calmed her.

Da: "Jeg skal også derhen," sagde hun.
En: "I'm headed there too," she said.

Da: "Skal du besøge nogen?"
En: "Are you visiting someone?"

Da: "Ja, Kasper.
En: "Yes, Kasper.

Da: Vi har kendt hinanden siden skolen," sagde Magnus og hans øjne blev lidt fjerne.
En: We've known each other since school," said Magnus, and his eyes became a bit distant.

Da: "Han er en god fyr."
En: "He's a good guy."

Da: Freja nikkede.
En: Freja nodded.

Da: De gik sammen ned ad den lange gang og snakkede om Kasper, delte minder og små historier.
En: They walked together down the long corridor and talked about Kasper, sharing memories and little stories.

Da: Ikke længe efter gik samtalen videre til andre emner.
En: Before long, the conversation moved on to other topics.

Da: Magnus fortalte om sit nylige brud, hvordan han manglede forbindelse og ønskede at finde nogen, han kunne stole på.
En: Magnus talked...
