Story Transcript:

Da: Snefnug krystallerede gennem luften udenfor, og politistationen var fyldt med julestemning.
En: Snowflakes crystallized through the air outside, and the police station was filled with Christmas spirit.

Da: Granguirlander snoede sig langs væggenes kanter, og små blinkende lyskæder prydede receptionens tællere.
En: Pine garlands twined along the edges of the walls, and small blinking light strings adorned the reception counters.

Da: Freja, med sit bestemte blik og sit krøllet hår let dækket af sne, trådte ind.
En: Freja, with her determined gaze and her curly hair lightly covered in snow, stepped inside.

Da: Kulden fulgte med hver åbnede dør og mindede alle om vinterens strenge greb udenfor.
En: The cold followed with every opened door, reminding everyone of winter's harsh grip outside.

Da: Freja havde et mål.
En: Freja had a goal.

Da: Hun havde været på det travle julemarked, glad og fyldt med julestemning, da hun havde været vidne til noget uhyggeligt.
En: She had been at the bustling Christmas market, happy and filled with holiday spirit, when she witnessed something unsettling.

Da: En mand, med hætte trukket op, havde snuppet en pung fra en ældre kvinde.
En: A man, with his hood pulled up, had snatched a purse from an elderly woman.

Da: Freja skyndte sig til politistationen for at indberette forbrydelsen.
En: Freja quickly hurried to the police station to report the crime.

Da: Inde i varmen bemærkede hun hvordan luften var tør og svær at trække ind; kampgejsten i hende gjorde dog at hun trådte nærmere skranken uden tøven.
En: Inside the warmth, she noticed how the air was dry and difficult to breathe; the determination in her, however, made her approach the counter without hesitation.

Da: Niels, en venlig betjent med et oprigtigt smil, hilste hende.
En: Niels, a friendly officer with a genuine smile, greeted her.

Da: "Hej, kan jeg hjælpe dig?" spurgte han.
En: "Hi, can I help you?" he asked.

Da: Freja skulle netop til at forklare hvad hun havde set, men noget afbrød hende.
En: Freja was just about to explain what she had seen, but something interrupted her.

Da: En velkendt stramhed greb hendes bryst.
En: A familiar tightness gripped her chest.

Da: Astmaen.
En: Asthma.

Da: Selvom det var vinter, vågede hun normalt at være forberedt, men i dagens hast havde hun glemt sin inhalator.
En: Even though it was winter, she usually dared to be prepared, but in today's haste, she had forgotten her inhaler.

Da: "Jeg... jeg," fremstammede hun, mens hvert åndedrag blev til en kamp.
En: "I... I," she stammered, as every breath became a struggle.

Da: Uden at kunne tale, greb hun sin taske og tog en notesbog frem.
En: Unable to speak, she grabbed her bag and took out a notebook.

Da: Med rystende hænder begyndte hun at skrive.
En: With trembling hands, she began to write.

Da: Det var svært at fokusere; hendes syn begyndte at svømme.
En: It was hard to focus; her vision was starting to blur.

Da: Men hun vidste, at hun måtte få budskabet frem.
En: But she knew she had to get the message across.

Da: Niels bemærkede straks hendes kamp.
En: Niels immediately noticed her struggle.

Da: "Er du okay?" spurgte han, bekymringen tydelig i hans stemme.
En: "Are you okay?" he asked, concern clear in his voice.

Da: Freja kunne blot nikke svagt, mens hun skubbede notesbogen mod ham.
En: Freja could only nod weakly as she pushed the notebook towards him.

Da: Ordene stod der – navne, tidspunkt, beskrivelse af manden.
En: The words were there – names, time, description of the man.

Da: Netop som Freja følte at kræfterne svigtede, tog Niels straks affære.
En: Just as Freja felt her strength failing, Niels took action right away.

Da: "Hjælp!" råbte han mod sine kollegaer.
En: "Help!" he shouted to his colleagues.

Da: Søren, en anden betjent, skyndte sig frem med en taske.
En: Søren, another officer, rushed forward with a bag.

Da: Inden længe fandt de frem til en inhalator, og efter få vejrtrækninger begyndte Frejas vejrtrækning at lette en smule.
En: Before long, they found an inhaler, and after a few breaths, Freja's breathing began to ease a bit.

Da: Med taknemmelighed i øjnene så hun på Niels, der læste hendes noter.
En: With gratitude in her eyes, she looked at Niels, who was reading her notes.

Da: "Det her vil hjælpe meget," forsikrede han hende.
En: "This will help a lot," he assured her.

Da: "Vi vil finde ham.
En: "We'll find him.

Da: Og vigtigst, du er okay nu.
En: And most importantly, you're okay now.

Da: Vi ringer efter en ambulance straks."
En: We'll call an ambulance right away."

Da: Selvom kroppen stadig føltes svag, fyldte en ny styrke Freja.
En: Although her body still felt weak, a new strength filled Freja.

Da: Hun havde mødt sin frygt med en ny metode.
En: She had faced her fear with a new approach.

Da: Uden ord, men ikke uden handling.
En: Without words, but not without action.

Da: Mens hun ventede på assistance, tænkte hun på sin tidligere erfaring, hvor hun ikke havde handlet hurtigt nok.
En: As she waited for assistance, she thought about her earlier experience, where she hadn't acted quickly enough.

Da: Nu vidste hun at hendes tilpasning i en vanskelig situation kunne føre hende igennem.
En: Now she knew that her adaptation in a difficult situation could carry her through.

Da: Julepynten blinkede beroligende omkring hende, og udenfor fortsatte sneen med at falde stille.
En: The Christmas decorations blinked soothingly around her, and outside, the snow continued to fall quietly.

Da: I politistationens trygge rammer vidste Freja, at denne gang havde hun gjort det rigtige.
En: In the safe confines of the police station, Freja knew that this time she had done the right thing.

Da: Hun havde kæmpet, og hun havde vundet.
En: She had fought, and she had won.
