No: Men tanken på å forlate festningen uten å ha sett alt plaget ham.

No: Han nølte, det gamle ønsket om tilhørighet i strid med hans egen helse og sikkerhet.
En: He hesitated, the old desire for belonging clashing with his own health and safety.

No: Da vinden tiltok og gjorde det nesten umulig å ta et steg fremover, skjønte Leif at han hadde gjort en feil.
En: When the wind picked up and made it nearly impossible to take a step forward, Leif realized he had made a mistake.

No: Snøen blåste rundt ham, og han innså hvor sårbar han var.

No: De vandret sammen inn mot hjertet av festningen.
En: They walked together into the heart of the fortress.

No: Til slutt fant de et rom med en peis, heldigvis allerede tent av en annen besøkende som hadde søkt ly.

En: Even though Leif had wanted to delve deeply into the fortress's history, it was here, in the presence of friends, that he felt another form of connection.

No: Kanskje var ikke tilhørighet bare å finne i gamle steiner og fortidens spor, men også blant de menneskene man deler livet med.

No: Leif visste at han ville komme tilbake en dag for å fullføre sin utforskning.
