Story Transcript:

It: Una lieve nevicata velava l'orizzonte, ricoprendo il campo ospedaliero con un soffice manto bianco.
En: A light snowfall veiled the horizon, covering the hospital field with a soft white blanket.

It: All'interno, il chiarore artificiale dei neon illuminava appena la stanza d'attesa.
En: Inside, the artificial glow of the neon lights barely illuminated the waiting room.

It: Seduti su due sedie in plastica, Luca e Giulia osservavano il via vai di medici e infermieri.
En: Sitting on two plastic chairs, Luca and Giulia watched the comings and goings of doctors and nurses.

It: L'atmosfera era silenziosa, interrotta solo dai sussurri dei presenti e dal lontano ronzio delle macchine.
En: The atmosphere was silent, interrupted only by the whispers of those present and the distant hum of the machines.

It: Luca era il fratello maggiore, uno spirito protettivo, un uomo di poche parole ma di molti pensieri.

It: Giulia, più giovane e delicata, sentiva il cuore battere come un tamburo.
En: Giulia, younger and delicate, felt her heart beating like a drum.

It: "Forse è meglio aspettare, Luca. Hanno detto che ci avvisano appena possibile."
En: "Maybe it's better to wait, Luca. They said they will inform us as soon as possible."

It: "Non posso aspettare senza fare niente," rispose Luca, determinato.
En: "I can't wait without doing anything," Luca replied, determined.

It: Si allontanò verso l'ufficio dell'amministrazione medica, lasciando la sorella sola nella stanza affollata.

It: Altri familiari attorno a lei condividevano lo stesso stato di incertezza.

It: Alcuni pregavano, altri parlavano a bassa voce.
En: Some were praying, others spoke in low voices.

It: Si accorse di una coppia anziana che stava piangendo.
En: She noticed an elderly couple who was crying.

It: Con un atto di coraggio, si avvicinò per offrire conforto, ricordandosi che non erano soli in quel momento difficile.
En: With an act of courage, she approached to offer comfort, remembering that they were not alone in this difficult moment.

It: Nel frattempo, Luca era di fronte a un dottore.
En: Meanwhile, Luca was in front of a doctor.

It: "Scusi, mio padre è in sala operatoria. Potete dirmi come sta?"
En: "Excuse me, my father is in the operating room. Can you tell me how he is?"

En: The doctor, with a sympathetic expression, replied, "The procedure is delicate.

It: Stiamo facendo tutto il possibile.

It: Le daremo notizie non appena possiamo.

It: Poco dopo, un'infermiera si avvicinò a loro.
En: Shortly after, a nurse approached them.

It: "Signora e Signorina Rossi?"
En: "Mr. and Ms. Rossi?"

It: "Sì, siamo noi," risposero all'unisono.
En: "Yes, that's us," they answered in unison.

It: "Il chirurgo ha finito.

It: Tuttavia, ci sono ancora delle complicazioni possibili.
