En: In the living room, the table was set, decorated with birch branches and feathers, ready for the Fastelavnsfesten.

No: "Eira, jeg vet ikke om jeg klarer dette," sa Sindre lavt da de kom innenfor døra.

No: Eira smilte oppmuntrende til broren sin.
En: Eira smiled encouragingly at her brother.

No: "Vi kan klare det sammen," sa hun, mens hun ga ham et klemt i hånda.

No: Idet de satte seg ned til middagen, begynte samtalen lett.

No: Duften av varm suppe fylt rommet, og det var et øyeblikk av fred.
En: The aroma of warm soup filled the room, and there was a moment of peace.

No: Men Sindre følte presset fra foreldrenes øyne, forventningene om suksess og prestasjoner som alltid var til stede.
En: But Sindre felt the pressure from his parents' eyes, the expectations of success and achievement that were always present.

No: Eira merket brorens ubehag og forsøkte å avlede samtalen.

No: Han snakket rolig, men følelsene var sterke.
En: He spoke calmly, but the emotions were strong.

No: "Jeg føler meg ofte overveldet av det dere forventer av meg.

En: Eira gently placed her hand on Sindre's arm.

No: Dette var øyeblikket hun hadde forsøkt å forhindre, men visste hun måtte støtte ham nå.
En: This was the moment she had tried to prevent, but she knew she had to support him now.

No: Foreldrene, overtatt av overraskelsen, klarte til slutt å svare.
En: The parents, taken by surprise, finally managed to respond.

No: "Sindre, det er aldri vår mening å legge press på deg.
En: "Sindre, it's never our intention to put pressure on you.

No: Vi vil bare at du skal være lykkelig.
En: We just want you to be happy."

No: Eira så ham i øynene med et nesten stolt blikk.
En: Eira looked him in the eyes with an almost proud look.

No: De hadde vokst nærmere som en familie, i mørket av vinteren, innenfor de varme veggene som lukket dem inn fra kulden utenfor.
En: They had grown closer as a family, in the darkness of winter, within the warm walls that sheltered them from the cold outside.
