Story Transcript:

El: Ο ήλιος της καλοκαιρινής ημέρας έλουζε το παράθυρο του ψυχιατρικού τμήματος με ζεστή ακτινοβολία.
En: The sun of the summer day bathed the window of the psychiatric ward with warm radiation.

El: Οι λευκοί τοίχοι έλαμπαν, θυμίζοντας περισσότερο ένα άδειο καμβά παρά έναν φιλόξενο χώρο.
En: The white walls shone, resembling an empty canvas more than a welcoming space.

El: Ο Δημήτριος καθόταν στο τραπέζι του δωματίου του, χαμένος στις σκέψεις του.
En: O Dimitrios sat at the table in his room, lost in his thoughts.

El: Στη γωνία, το λευκό χαρτί τον περίμενε να γράψει κάτι σημαντικό.
En: In the corner, the white paper awaited him to write something important.

El: Η Κατερίνα, η νοσοκόμα με τη ζεστή καρδιά, μπήκε στο δωμάτιο και κάθισε δίπλα του.
En: I Katerina, the nurse with the warm heart, entered the room and sat next to him.

El: "Πώς πάνε οι προετοιμασίες για την αποφοίτηση;
En: "How are the preparations for graduation going?"

El: " ρώτησε με ενδιαφέρον.
En: she asked with interest.

El: Ο Δημήτριος κοίταξε το χαρτί μπροστά του.
En: O Dimitrios looked at the paper in front of him.

El: "Προσπαθώ να γράψω έναν λόγο," απάντησε διστακτικά.
En: "I am trying to write a speech," he replied hesitantly.

El: Το μυαλό του γέμιζε με σκέψεις αμφιβολίας.
En: His mind was filled with thoughts of doubt.

El: Η ανασφάλεια να επιστρέψει στον έξω κόσμο, να σταθεί μπροστά σε όλους αυτούς τους ανθρώπους, τον έπνιγε.
En: The insecurity of returning to the outside world, of standing in front of all those people, suffocated him.

El: Η Κατερίνα τον κοίταξε κατευθείαν στα μάτια.
En: I Katerina looked him straight in the eyes.

El: "Μπορείς να το κάνεις.
En: "You can do it.

El: Είσαι πιο δυνατός από όσο νομίζεις.
En: You are stronger than you think."

El: "Αργότερα, στο κοινό καθιστικό, βρήκε τον Νικόλα, τον φίλο του.
En: Later, in the common living room, he found ton Nikola, his friend.

El: Ο Νικόλας, με τη χαρακτηριστική του ευγένεια, τον άκουγε με προσοχή.
En: O Nikolas, with his characteristic politeness, listened to him attentively.

El: "Δε χρειάζεται να είσαι τέλειος.
En: "You don't need to be perfect.

El: Αρκεί να είσαι ο εαυτός σου," του είπε με σιγουριά.
En: It's enough to be yourself," he told him confidently.

El: Η ημέρα της αποφοίτησης έφτασε γρήγορα.
En: The day of graduation came quickly.

El: Ο Δημήτριος ένιωθε την καρδιά του να χτυπά γρήγορα.
En: O Dimitrios felt his heart beating fast.

El: Οι διάδρομοι του νοσοκομείου φάνταζαν ατελείωτοι καθώς κατευθυνόταν προς την έξοδο.
En: The hospital corridors seemed endless as he headed towards the exit.

El: Η Κατερίνα και ο Νικόλας ήταν δίπλα του, παρέχοντας την απαραίτητη στήριξη.
En: I Katerina and o Nikolas were by his side, providing the necessary support.

El: Όταν ήρθε η ώρα, ο Δημήτριος στάθηκε στο βάθρο.
En: When the time came, o Dimitrios stood at the podium.

El: Κράτησε τη σελίδα του σφιχτά.
En: He held his page tightly.

El: Μια στιγμή σιωπής επικράτησε, κι έπειτα άρχισε να μιλάει.
En: A moment of silence prevailed, and then he began to speak.

El: Με κάθε λέξη, ένα μέρος του φόβου του τον αποχαιρετούσε.
En: With every word, a piece of his fear bid him farewell.

El: Τα λόγια του ήταν απλά, μα δυνατά.
En:...
