Mikkels stille tilstedeværelse, men lod ham være, så længe han havde det godt.En: She noticed Mikkel's quiet presence but left him be as long as he was okay.Da: Mens Sofie begyndte dagens lektion om planter, skete der noget uventet.En: As Sofie began the day's lesson on plants, something unexpected happened.Da: Mikkels ansigt begyndte at hæve, og det var svært for ham at trække vejret.En: Mikkel's face began to swell, and it was difficult for him to breathe.Da: Hans fingre rystede, mens han forsøgte at fokusere på tavlen.En: His fingers trembled as he tried to focus on the board.Da: Han havde aldrig oplevet sådan en voldsom allergisk reaktion før, og han kendte ikke sin allergi.En: He had never experienced such a severe allergic reaction before, and he didn't know his allergy.Da:

fik den nødbehandling, han havde brug for.En: Sofie reacted immediately, rushed to Mikkel's side, and ensured he received the emergency treatment he needed.Da: Klassen samlede sig omkring, og det, der normalt ville have været Mikkels mareridt – at være i centrum – blev nu en redning takket være Frejas hurtige handling.En: The class gathered around, and what would normally have been Mikkel's nightmare—being the center of attention—now became a rescue thanks to Freja's quick action.Da: Efter hændelsen, da Mikkel sad i sygeplejens rum, kom Freja forbi med et venligt smil.En: After the incident, when Mikkel sat in the nurse's room, Freja came by with a kind smile.Da: "Du skal ikke klare alting selv, Mikkel.En: "You don't have to handle everything alone, Mikkel.Da: Vi er her for dig," sagde hun blidt.En: We are here for you," she said gently.Da: Mikkel tøvede, men så nikkede han, indså langsomt, at han ikke behøvede at kæmpe alene.En: Mikkel hesitated but then nodded, slowly realizing he didn't have to fight alone.Da: Dét øjeblik ændrede noget i ham.En: That moment changed something in him.Da: Selvom hans angst ikke forsvandt helt, blev den lidt lettere at bære, fordi han vidste, at han kunne stole på nogen.En: Although his anxiety didn't completely disappear, it became a bit easier to bear because he knew he could rely on someone.Da: Mikkel besluttede at åbne sig lidt mere, tage imod den tilbudte hånd af venskab.En: Mikkel decided to open up a little more, to accept the offered hand of friendship.Da: Og i en verden af vinter og brugne barrierer, begyndte han at finde små lysglimt i skolen, han hidtil kun havde set som en mur af anonymitet.En: And in a world of winter and broken barriers, he began to find little flashes of light in the school he had previously only seen as a wall of anonymity.

small snowflakes danced silently in the wind.Da: Indenfor, i en lille hyggelig tebutik ved Nyhavn Kanal, samlede Lars, Freja og Nicoline sig omkring et bord.En: Inside, in a small cozy tea shop by Nyhavn Canal, Lars, Freja, and Nicoline gathered around a table.Da: De store vinduer indrammede udsigten til de snedækkede gader, de farverige kanalhuse, som de altid havde elsket.En: The large windows framed the view of the snow-covered streets and the colorful canal houses, which they had always loved.Da: Lars kiggede på sine søstre.En: Lars looked at his sisters.Da: Varmen fra teen opmuntrede ham til at finde ordene, som han ellers havde haft svært ved at finde.En: The warmth from the tea encouraged him to find the words that he had otherwise struggled to find.Da: "Far elskede dette sted," begyndte han, mens han rakte ud efter sin kop.En: "Dad loved this place," he began, as he reached for his cup.Da: "Jeg tænkte, vi kunne mindes ham her."En: "I thought we could remember him here."Da: Freja, midterbarnet, krammede sin kop tæt og nikkede.En: Freja, the middle child, hugged her cup close and nodded.Da: Hun havde mistet flere tårer, end hun kunne tælle, siden deres far var gået bort.En: She had shed more tears than she could count since their father had passed away.Da: Nicoline, den yngste, sad stille, hendes øjne betragtede dampen der steg op fra hendes kop, som om den kunne indeholde de svar, hun så desperat søgte.En: Nicoline, the youngest, sat quietly, her eyes observing the steam rising from her cup, as if it could hold the answers she so desperately sought.Da: "Jeg ved, vi sørger forskelligt," fortsatte Lars forsigtigt.En: "I know we grieve differently," Lars continued cautiously.Da: "Men jeg vil have, at vi som familie støtter hinanden."En: "But I want us, as a family, to support each other."Da: Freja rystede på hovedet, tårerne truede igen.En: Freja shook her head, her tears threatening again.Da: "Jeg har følt skyld, Lars," sagde hun stille.En: "I've felt guilty, Lars," she said quietly.Da: "Jeg nåede aldrig at fortælle ham, hvor meget jeg elskede ham."En: "I never got to tell him how much I loved him."Da: Nicoline så op.En: Nicoline looked up.Da: Hendes øjne, store og lidt bange, mødte Frejas.En: Her eyes, large and a little scared, met Freja's.Da: "Jeg er bange for at miste jer også," sagde hun stille.En: "I'm afraid of losing you too," she said softly.Da: "Efter far forsvandt, føles alt bare...En: "After Dad disappeared, everything just feels...Da: løsrevet."En: disjointed."Da: Lars satte sin kop ned og strakte sig over bordet for at tage Nicolines hånd.En: Lars put his cup down and reached across the table to take Nicoline's hand.Da: "Vi er stadig her," sagde han med rolig stemme.En: "We're still here," he said in a calm voice.Da: "Og vi kan tale om alt."En: "And we can talk about anything."Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding.En: Freja took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg har brug for jer begge," sagde hun.En: "I need both of you," she said.Da: "Jeg er klar til at lytte og tale."En: "I'm ready to listen and talk."Da: Snefnuggene udenfor blev mere stille, som om verden lyttede med.En: The snowflakes outside became quieter, as if the world was listening.Da: Lars mærkede en tung vægt løfte fra sine skuldre.En: Lars felt a heavy weight lift from his shoulders.Da: Her, midt i de varme træskiver og under de bløde lysstråler, fandt de tre søskende noget, der mindede om fred.En: Here, amidst the warm wooden planks and under the soft light beams, the three siblings found something resembling peace.Da: De talte om mindet om deres far.En: They talked about the memories of their father.Da: Hans latter, hans visdom, og de små ting, han havde gjort til hverdag.En: His laughter, his wisdom, and the little things he did every day.Da: De begyndte at smile gennem tårerne.En: They began to smile through their tears.Da: Deres forskellige måder at huske og sørge forvandlede sig til tråde, der siksakkede sig over bordet og bandt dem tættere sammen.En: Their different ways of remembering and grieving transformed into threads that zigzagged across the table, binding them closer together.Da: Da de forlod tebutikken den aften, gik de ud i den kolde vinterluft som en stærkere familie.En: When they left the tea shop that evening, they stepped into the cold winter air as a stronger family.Da: Lars vidste, at de aldrig ville miste det bånd, deres far havde elsket så meget.En: Lars knew that they would never lose the bond their father had loved so much.Da: Det nye år bragte dem perspektiver på deres tab og en forståelse for hinandens styrker.En: The new year brought them perspectives on their loss and an understanding of each other's strengths.Da: I steder hvor sneen stillede det hele, fandt de en ny

scent of fallen leaves among the small paths.Da: Det var endelig dag for den længe ventede skoleudflugt, og Freja kunne næsten ikke stå stille af spænding.En: It was finally the day for the

stemningen.En: Mathias' antics could always lighten the mood.Da: Astrid, deres lærer, gik foran med sin clipboard, klar til at krydse alle punkterne af dagens stramme tidsplan.En: Astrid, their teacher, walked ahead with her clipboard, ready to check off all the points of the day's tight schedule.Da: Hun var en god lærer, men måske lidt for alvorlig, tænkte Freja.En: She was a good teacher,

"Kom, vi gør det!"En: "Come on, let's do it!"Da: Freja tøvede, men ønsket om eventyr og udforskning var for stærkt.En: Freja hesitated, but the desire for adventure and exploration was too strong.Da: Hun nikkede til Mathias, og de smuttede ind mellem to boder, væk fra gruppens oppassende øjne.En: She nodded to Mathias, and they slipped in between two stalls, away from the watchful eyes of the group.Da: De to venner sneg sig langs de mindre travle stier.En: The two friends sneaked along the less busy paths.Da: Frejas hjerte bankede hurtigt, delvist af spænding og delvist af frygt for at blive opdaget.En: Freja's heart beat quickly, partly from excitement and partly from fear of being discovered.Da: De nåede et gammelt, rustent metalgitter, næsten skjult bag en busk.En: They reached an old, rusty metal gate, almost hidden behind a bush.Da: På en lille plade stod der skrevet en gåde: "Lyt til vinden, find den, der kan åbne.En: On a small plaque, there was a riddle written: "Listen

"Avis!"En: "Newspaper!"Da: sagde de i kor og vendte blikket mod gitteret.En: they said in unison and turned their gaze to the gate.Da: Det åbnede langsomt med en knagen, som om det havde ventet på

her long hair.Da: Det var efterår, og slottet var omringet af gyldne og røde blade.En: It was autumn, and the castle was surrounded by golden and red leaves.Da: Luften var frisk, og lyden af festival fyldte området.En: The air was fresh, and the sound of the festival filled the area.Da: Stande med æblekager, lune drikke og historiske dragter gav slottet liv på en ny måde.En: Stalls with apple cakes, warm drinks, and historical costumes brought the castle to life in a new way.Da: Freja så sig omkring og spejdede efter Mikkel.En: Freja looked around, searching for Mikkel.Da: Han stod lidt væk, begejstret studerende en mand, der viste, hvordan man lavede middelalderligt håndværk.En: He was standing a little distance away, enthusiastically studying a man demonstrating how to make medieval crafts.Da: Mikkel havde aldrig været som Freja.En: Mikkel had never been like Freja.Da: Hans lyst til nuet stod i skarp kontrast til hendes trang til at forstå fortiden.En: His desire for the present sharply contrasted with her urge to understand the past.Da: I nærheden hørte Freja Signe, den livlige guide, fortælle en gruppe besøgende om slottets dramatiske historie.En: Nearby, Freja heard Signe, the lively guide, telling a group of visitors about the castle's dramatic history.Da: "Og legend says," begyndte Signe med et mystisk smil, "at et skjult rum gemmer en glemt skat.En: "And legend says," Signe began with a mysterious smile, "that a hidden room hides a forgotten treasure.Da: Men ingen kender vejen derind."En: But no one knows the way in."Da: Frejas øjne glimtede ved ordene.En: Freja's eyes sparkled at the words.Da: Det var dette rum, denne skat, hun havde hørt om og ønsket at finde.En: It was this room, this treasure, that she had heard of and wanted to find.Da: Stemmerne fra festivalen blandede sig med Mikkels latter, men Frejas tanker var et andet sted.En: The voices from the festival mixed with Mikkel's laughter, but Freja's thoughts were elsewhere.Da: Hun besluttede sig for at finde rummet.En: She decided to find the room.Da: Hun havde læst gamle tekster og troede, hun kendte nøglen til hemmeligheden.En: She had read old texts and believed she knew the key to the secret.Da: Da Signe førte gruppen mod slotsgården, begyndte Freja at falde tilbage.En: As Signe led the group towards the castle courtyard, Freja began to fall back.Da: Snart gled hun væk fra gruppen og gik ned ad en af de små, næsten skjulte gange.En: Soon, she slipped away from the group and walked down one of the small, almost hidden passageways.Da: Hendes hjerte slog hurtigt af både spænding og frygt.En: Her heart beat fast with both excitement and fear.Da: Mikkel var stadig på standen, troede hun.En: Mikkel was still at the stall, she thought.Da: Men inden længe hørte hun fodtrin bag sig.En: But before long, she heard footsteps behind her.Da: Mikkel, bekymret for hendes pludselige forsvinden, var fulgt efter hende.En: Mikkel, concerned about her sudden disappearance, had followed her.Da: "Freja, hvad laver du?"En: "Freja, what are you doing?"Da: hviskede han forvirret.En: he whispered, confused.Da: Freja vendte sig om med et smil.En: Freja turned around with a smile.Da: "Jeg skal vise dig noget fantastisk, Mikkel."En: "I have something amazing to show you, Mikkel."Da: De gik sammen længere ind i slottet, hvor turistenes lyde blev til en hvisken.En: They went further into the castle together, where the tourist's sounds became a whisper.Da: Freja fandt endelig, hvad hun ledte efter – en skjult dør.En: Freja finally found what she was looking for – a hidden door.Da: De åbnede den nølende og trådte indenfor.En: They opened it hesitantly and stepped inside.Da: Rummet var gammelt, fyldt med skygger og støv, men der var også en form for magisk atmosfære.En: The room was old, filled with shadows and dust, but there was also a kind of magical atmosphere.Da: Pludselig trådte Mikkel på en løs sten.En: Suddenly, Mikkel stepped on a loose stone.Da: Med et klik lukkede døren bag dem og mekanismen låste.En: With a click, the door closed behind them and the mechanism locked.Da: De kiggede på hinanden, forskrækkede.En: They looked at each other, startled.Da: Det gamle rum var nu en fælde.En: The old room was now a trap.Da: "Åh nej," mumlede Freja, og vidste at deres impulsivitet havde fanget dem.En: "Åh nej," muttered Freja, knowing that their impulsiveness had caught them.Da: I mellemtiden, tilbage ved festivalen, bemærkede Signe, at Freja og Mikkel manglede.En: In the meantime, back at the festival, Signe noticed that Freja and Mikkel were missing.Da: Hendes instinkter sagde hende, hvor de kunne være.En: Her instincts told her where they might be.Da: Snart nærmede hun sig den skjulte dør og lyttede.En: Soon she approached the hidden door and listened.Da: Derindefra hørte hun Freja og Mikkels dæmpede stemmer.En: From inside, she heard Freja and Mikkel's muffled voices.Da: Signe smilede for sig selv og sagde kun med en hvisken til døren: "I ser, historie findes ikke kun i de glemte rum."En: Signe smiled to herself and whispered to the door: "You see, history isn't only found in forgotten rooms."Da: Derefter brugte hun sin viden om slottet til at åbne døren.En: Then she used her knowledge of the castle to open the door.Da: Freja og Mikkel trådte ud, lettede over at være frie.En: Freja and Mikkel stepped out, relieved to be free.Da: Signe nikkede forstående.En: Signe nodded understandingly.Da: "Nogle hemmeligheder er sikrere med venner," sagde hun.En: "Some secrets are safer with friends," she said.Da:
