Es: El cielo del desierto de Atacama brillaba como un lienzo infinito de estrellas.

Es: Sofía, con su cámara en mano, caminaba por la arena fría.
En: Sofía, with her camera in hand, walked across the cold sand.

Es: Era invierno, y las noches eran claras y heladas.
En: It was winter, and the nights were clear and frosty.

Es: Estaba lejos de su casa, buscando algo más que solo fotos bonitas.

Es: Sofía llegó al observatorio, una gran cúpula blanca que parecía flotar bajo el cielo estrellado.
En: Sofía arrived at the observatory, a large white dome that seemed to float under the starry sky.

Es: Hoy, decidió intentar algo nuevo: conectar verdaderamente con las personas en lugar de quedarse en las sombras.

Es: Mientras explicaba las estrellas y las constelaciones, Javier notó a Sofía, quien parecía mirar con una mezcla de esperanza y vacilación.
En: As he explained the stars and constellations, Javier noticed Sofía, who seemed to look on with a mix of hope and hesitation.

Es: Algo en su mirada vacilante le hizo afrontar su propia timidez y se acercó a ella durante la pausa.
En: Something in her wavering gaze made him confront his own shyness, and he approached her during the break.

Es: "¿Te gusta la astronomía?"
En: "Do you like astronomy?"

Es: preguntó Javier rompiendo su propio silencio.
En: Javier asked, breaking his own silence.

Es: "Amo fotografiar el cielo," respondió Sofía, su voz también suave.
En: "I love photographing the sky," Sofía replied, her voice also soft.

Es: "Busco algo que signifique más."
En: "I'm looking for something that means more."

Es: De repente, las luces del observatorio parpadearon y se apagaron.
En: Suddenly, the observatory's lights flickered and went out.

Es: Un corte de energía los rodeó de oscuridad, pero las estrellas resplandecían aún más fuertes.
En: A power outage surrounded them in darkness, but the stars shined even brighter.

Es: Sin cámaras ni telescopios, Javier vio una oportunidad.
En: Without cameras or telescopes, Javier saw an opportunity.

Es: "Vamos a observar las estrellas a simple vista," sugirió, sintiendo una extraña confianza.

Es: Con el dedo, empezó a dibujar constelaciones en el aire, guiando el grupo con su voz.

En: While the world above them kept shining, a connection emerged between the two.

Es: No era solo sobre capturar imágenes, sino descubrir el significado que compartía con otros.
