Story Transcript:

Da: Kasper stod ved indgangen til Tivoli.
En: Kasper stood at the entrance to Tivoli.

Da: Engang summede denne park af liv, men nu var den kun et minde om, hvad der var før.
En: Once, this park buzzed with life, but now it was only a memory of what was before.

Da: Foråret havde lagt et grønt tæppe af græs og blomster, der strakte sig gennem de efterladte forlystelser.
En: Spring had laid a green carpet of grass and flowers that stretched through the abandoned rides.

Da: Vinden hviskede lavt mellem de tomme bælter, og en svag bippende lyd kom fra pariserhjulet.
En: The wind whispered low between the empty belts, and a faint beeping sound came from the Ferris wheel.

Da: Signe og Mikkel havde talt om signalet.
En: Signe and Mikkel had talked about the signal.

Da: Rygtet sagde, at det kunne være noget vigtigt, måske tegn på andre overlevende.
En: Rumor had it that it could be something important, perhaps a sign of other survivors.

Da: Kasper følte et stik af håb.
En: Kasper felt a twinge of hope.

Da: Han havde ventet længe på en mulighed som denne.
En: He had waited a long time for an opportunity like this.

Da: Han begyndte sin færd gennem parken.
En: He began his journey through the park.

Da: Hvert skridt var med forsigtighed.
En: Each step was taken with caution.

Da: Omkring ham var de gamle boder med falmede plakater og rustne vogne.
En: Around him were the old stalls with faded posters and rusty carts.

Da: Der havde været kaos.
En: There had been chaos.

Da: Tingene var blevet efterladt midt i en flugt; det kunne næsten mærkes i luften.
En: Things had been left in the middle of an escape; it could almost be felt in the air.

Da: Pariserhjulet ragede op foran ham.
En: The Ferris wheel loomed ahead of him.

Da: Det stod der som en ensom kæmpe, og signalet kom bestemt derfra.
En: It stood there like a lonely giant, and the signal definitely came from there.

Da: Kasper måtte tage valget.
En: Kasper had to make the choice.

Da: Vente eller klatre?
En: Wait or climb?

Da: Modet vandt, og han begyndte sin opstigning.
En: Courage prevailed, and he began his ascent.

Da: Med hvert skridt opad blev hjulet mere skrøbeligt.
En: With each step upward, the wheel became more fragile.

Da: Metallet knagede under hans vægt, og en frygt sneg sig ind i ham.
En: The metal creaked under his weight, and fear crept into him.

Da: Men han blev ved.
En: But he kept going.

Da: Han vidste, at han måtte finde svaret, uanset risikoen.
En: He knew he had to find the answer, no matter the risk.

Da: Højdepunktet var øverst, omkring ham holdt alt vejret.
En: The pinnacle was at the top, around him everything held its breath.

Da: Endelig nåede han toppen.
En: Finally, he reached the top.

Da: Der, fastgjort til en af kabinerne, var en gammel radio.
En: There, attached to one of the cabins, was an old radio.

Da: Den blinkede med et rødt lys og sendte det svage bip.
En: It blinked with a red light and emitted the faint beep.

Da: Kasper skruede på nogle knapper og opdagede beskeder fra tidligere overlevende.
En: Kasper twisted some knobs and discovered messages from past survivors.

Da: Det var et nødsignal.
En: It was a distress signal.

Da: Ikke andre,...
