It: Nel villaggio incantato tra le Dolomiti, l'inverno avvolgeva ogni angolo con una coperta di neve scintillante.
En: In the enchanted village among the Dolomiti, winter wrapped every corner in a blanket of shimmering snow.

It: Le casette alpine si illuminavano di luci festose e una leggera fragranza di legna arsa riempiva l'aria.
En: The alpine houses lit up with festive lights, and a faint fragrance of burning wood filled the air.

It: Sofia, la sua amica d'infanzia, l'aveva salutata con un abbraccio caloroso.
En: Sofia, her childhood friend, greeted her with a warm embrace.

It: "Benvenuta", disse Sofia, con un sorriso che riscaldava più del fuoco che scoppiettava nel caminetto.

It: Tra risate e calore familiare, Elena sentiva un antico richiamo.

It: Conosceva bene Sofia, e in breve si trovò a scambiare parole con Elena.

It: "Come mai sei tornata?
En: "Why have you returned?"

It: ", chiese Luca a Elena.
En: Luca asked Elena.

It: "Volevo capire", rispose lei, "capire chi sono veramente."
En: "I wanted to understand," she replied, "to understand who I truly am."

It: La sera, il villaggio si animò per la festa.
En: In the evening, the village came alive for the celebration.

It: Le persone si radunarono attorno al grande falò, le fiamme danzanti illuminavano i loro volti sorridenti.
En: People gathered around the great bonfire, the dancing flames illuminating their smiling faces.

It: Luca ed Elena si allontanarono un momento dalla folla.
En: Luca and Elena stepped away from the crowd for a moment.

It: Camminavano lentamente, con il suono della neve che scricchiolava sotto i piedi.
En: They walked slowly, with the sound of snow crunching underfoot.

It: "Anch'io sogno", confessò Luca, "sogno di vedere il mondo, ma temo di abbandonare tutto."
En: "I dream too," confessed Luca, "I dream of seeing the world, but I'm afraid of leaving everything behind."

It: Elena lo guardò, vedendo i suoi stessi dubbi riflessi in lui.
En: Elena looked at him, seeing her own doubts reflected in him.

It: "Forse non dobbiamo scegliere", disse, "forse possiamo unire i nostri mondi."
En: "Perhaps we don't have to choose," she said, "perhaps we can unite our worlds."

It: Due anime trovarono una direzione e un sogno in comune.

It: Elena, sentendosi leggera come i fiocchi di neve che cadevano, abbracciò nuovamente Sofia, sentendo finalmente la pace e la chiarezza che desiderava.
En: Elena, feeling as light as the snowflakes falling, embraced Sofia again, finally feeling the peace and clarity she desired.
