Da: "Undskyld, jeg så dig ikke," sagde Clara med et venligt smil.
En: "Sorry, I didn't see you," said Clara with a friendly smile.

Da: "Det... er i orden," svarede Mikkel, lettet over hendes venlighed.
En: "It's... alright," Mikkel replied, relieved by her kindness.

Da: Han følte en spontan trang til at fortsætte samtalen, på trods af sin naturlige tilbageholdenhed.
En: He felt a spontaneous urge to continue the conversation, despite his natural reticence.

Da: "Er du også her for at finde ro?"
En: "Are you here to find peace as well?"

Da: "Ja, eller noget inspiration," sagde Clara og løftede sine øjenbryn med et blik mod Freja.
En: "Yes, or some inspiration," said Clara, raising her eyebrows with a glance toward Freja.

Da: For første gang i lang tid lagde Mikkel sin hæmning til side og bemærkede Claras betagelse.

Da: Da musikken stoppede, følte de begge at noget havde ændret sig.

Da: De vidste ikke præcis hvad, men det var som om skyerne i deres indre var drevet væk, og alting virkede klarere.
En: They didn't know exactly what, but it was as if the clouds within them had drifted away, and everything seemed clearer.

Da: "Du får mig til at se tingene på en ny måde, Mikkel.
En: "You make me see things in a new way, Mikkel.

Da: Tak," sagde Clara eftertænksomt.
En: Thank you," said Clara thoughtfully.

Da: "Og du minder mig om skønheden i at finde forbindelse," svarede Mikkel, hans stemme blødere.
