Ca: El sol d'estiu filtrava a través de les finestres polsoses de la casa familiar, il·luminant els records d'anys passats.
En: The summer sun filtered through the dusty windows of the family house, illuminating memories of past years.

Ca: Marta observava la sala des de la cuina mentre preparava els aperitius.
En: Marta watched the room from the kitchen while she prepared the snacks.

Ca: Aviat, els seus germans arribarien.

Ca: "És bonic tornar aquí", va dir, encara que els seus ulls traslluïen la seva reticència.
En: "It's nice to be back here," he said, although his eyes betrayed his reluctance.

Ca: La seva absència durant tants anys encara pesava entre ells.
En: His absence for so many years still weighed heavily between them.

Ca: Oriol va arribar poc després, amb una mirada tristament coneguda: la d'aquell que sempre es queda a l'ombra dels altres.
En: Oriol arrived shortly after, with a sadly familiar look: that of someone who always remains in the shadow of others.

Ca: Marta el va rebre amb afecte, intentant dissipar la tensió que brollava del passat.
En: Marta welcomed him warmly, trying to dissipate the tension that emanated from the past.

Ca: Encara recordava les seves discussions d'infantesa que mai havien resolt veritablement.
En: She still remembered their childhood arguments that had never truly been resolved.

Ca: La tarda es va desenvolupar amb petits intents de converses, trencades sovint per llargues pauses de silenci.
En: The afternoon unfolded with small attempts at conversation, often broken by long pauses of silence.

Ca: Els records estaven presents en cada cantonada de la casa, però els lligams familiars que els havien unit semblaven llunyans.
En: Memories were present in every corner of the house, but the family ties that had once united them seemed distant.

Ca: Marta, fermament decidida a fer que la reunió funcionés, va encetar la conversa: "És hora de deixar enrere les coses dolentes.
En: Marta, firmly determined to make the gathering work, initiated the conversation: "It's time to leave the bad things behind."

Ca: "En aquell moment, una coloració pàl·lida va cobrir la cara d'Oriol.
En: At that moment, a pale color washed over Oriol's face.

Ca: Va començar a suar i se li va fer difícil respirar.
En: He began to sweat and found it difficult to breathe.

Ca: Marta, amb el cor bategant ràpid, va trucar a una ambulància ràpidament.
En: Marta, her heart racing, quickly called an ambulance.

Ca: La preocupació es dibuixava als seus ulls mentre Jordi sostenia el seu germà.
En: Concern was evident in her eyes as Jordi held his brother.

Ca: Els minuts abans que arribés l'ajuda semblaven eterns.
En: The minutes before help arrived seemed eternal.

Ca: En el caos, Marta, amb ferma determinació, va decidir que era hora de parlar dels temes que sempre havien evitat.
En: Amidst the chaos, Marta, with firm resolve, decided it was time to address the issues they had always avoided.

Ca: "No podem seguir així", va dir amb veu ferma, mirant els seus germans als ulls.
En: "We can't continue like this," she said firmly, looking her brothers in the eyes.

Ca: "Som família.
En: "We are family."

Ca: "L'ambulància va arribar a temps per atendre Oriol, que es va recuperar del seu ensurt amb una visió nova.

Ca: Les ombres del passat semblaven endur-se cap al vent d'estiu.
En: The shadows of the past seemed to be carried away by the summer wind.

Ca: Marta sabia que encara hi havia treball per fer, però aquell primer pas era decisiu.
En: Marta knew there was still work to be done, but that first step was decisive.

Ca: El vincle entre els germans es va fer més fort al compartir no solament aquell moment de crisi, sinó també les seves pors i esperances.
En: The bond between the siblings became stronger by sharing not only that moment of crisis but also their fears and hopes.

Ca: Marta havia après que el camí per reunir la família no passava per evitar els problemes, sinó per confrontar-los amb coratge i estima.
En: Marta had learned that the path to reuniting the family did not involve avoiding the problems, but confronting them with courage and love.
