Story Transcript:

No: Det var en stille vinterdag, og snøen dalte varsomt fra himmelen.
En: It was a quiet winter day, and snow gently fell from the sky.

No: Lars sto utenfor en liten hytte i fjellene ved Sognefjorden.
En: Lars stood outside a small cabin in the mountains by the Sognefjorden.

No: Det var lenge siden han hadde vært hjemme, og han følte sommerfugler i magen.
En: It had been a long time since he had been home, and he felt butterflies in his stomach.

No: Skogens høye grantrær var dekket av snø, og foran hytten lå den frosne fjorden, rolig og uberørt.
En: The forest's tall spruce trees were covered in snow, and in front of the cabin lay the frozen fjord, calm and untouched.

No: Innenfor hyttens lune vegger, kastet peisen et varmt lys som danset over treverket.
En: Within the cabin's cozy walls, the fireplace cast a warm light that danced over the wood.

No: Hun hadde holdt hytta i stand for ham, alltid klar for hans tilbakekomst.
En: She had kept the cabin in order for him, always ready for his return.

No: Da han trådte innenfor, møtte hun ham med et stort smil og en varm klem.
En: When he stepped inside, she greeted him with a big smile and a warm hug.

No: "Velkommen hjem, Lars," sa hun mykt.

No: Dagene som fulgte var fylt med samtaler og stille refleksjon.

No: De pratet om gamle dager, om sommerferier og lange vinternetter.
En: They talked about the old days, about summer vacations and long winter nights.

No: Likevel hang det en skygge over Lars.
En: Yet, a shadow hung over Lars.

No: En kveld blåste en kraftig snøstorm opp.
En: One evening, a strong snowstorm blew up.

No: Vinden skrek utenfor, og snøen la seg tungt mot vinduene.
En: The wind screamed outside, and the snow settled heavily against the windows.

No: I ly for stormen, satt de nær ildstedet med varme ulltepper rundt seg.
En: Sheltered from the storm, they sat near the fireplace with warm wool blankets around them.

No: Det var da Lars bestemte seg.
En: It was then that Lars decided.

No: Han måtte åpne seg.
En: He needed to open up.

No: "Sigrid," begynte han nølende, "jeg vil fortelle deg hvorfor jeg dro.
En: "Sigrid," he began hesitantly, "I want to tell you why I left."

No: " Sigrid lyttet stille, medfølende.
En: Sigrid listened quietly, compassionately.

No: Lars fortalte om usikkerheten, ønsket om å finne mening et annet sted, og frykten som hadde fulgt ham selv når han var borte.
En: Lars spoke about the uncertainty, the desire to find meaning elsewhere, and the fear that had followed him even when he was away.

No: Da Lars var ferdig, tok Sigrid hendene hans.
En: When Lars had finished, Sigrid took his hands.

No: "Lars, du har alltid en plass her.
En: "Lars, you always have a place here.

No: Venner forlater ikke hverandre," sa hun.
En: Friends don’t leave each other," she said.

No: Ordene hennes ga Lars en følelse av lettelse.
En: Her words gave Lars a feeling of relief.

No: Han innså at han ikke lenger trengte å bære tyngden alene.
En: He realized that he no longer needed to carry the burden alone.

No: Utenfor raste snøstormen videre, men innenfor var det ro.
En: Outside, the snowstorm raged on, but inside there was calm.

No: Sigrid hentet hjemmelaget suppe fra gryten over ilden.
En: Sigrid fetched homemade soup from the pot over the fire.

No: De spiste sammen, latet som om stormen var en fjern melodi i bakgrunnen.
En: They ate together, pretending the storm was a distant melody in the background.
