Da: Mikkel og Astrid, Frejas gode venner, kom hen til hende.

Da: Bogstaverne var gamle og svære at læse.
En: The letters were old and difficult to read.

Da: Men der var noget kryptisk i beskeden.

Da: Tiden var knap, for dagen var fuld af begivenheder og folkemængder.
En: Time was scarce, for the day was full of events and crowds.

Da: Men Freja besluttede sig.

En: Inside were letters from the past, from people who had seen dark times but who had hoped and dreamed of freedom.

Da: "Jeg kan ikke tro det," sagde Freja stille.
En: "I can’t believe it," said Freja quietly.

Da: "Dette er fra Anden Verdenskrig."
En: "This is from World War II."

Da: De ord, hun læste, gav hende styrke og forståelse for dem, der havde kæmpet før hende.

Da: Da solen gik ned, og himlen blev mørk, lyste Tivoli op i al sin pragt.
En: As the sun set, and the sky turned dark, Tivoli lit up in all its glory.

Da: Deres hjerter var fyldt med varme og nostalgi.

Da: Freja vidste nu, at nogle hemmeligheder ventede på at blive opdaget af dem, der søger.

En: And while the festivities continued around them, Mikkel, Astrid, and Freja shared a quiet moment, with a new bond to the place and the time they were part of.
