En beslutning, jeg altid har undret mig over."En: "Years ago," he began, "there was a decision I made... A decision I've always wondered about."Da: Han fortalte hende om den aften, han havde ladet en chance glide forbi, en muligheden der føltes stor, men som han havde afvist af frygt og tvivl.En: He told her about the night he let an opportunity slip by, a chance that felt significant but which he had rejected due to fear and doubt.Da: Kærlighed, ambitioner og usikkerheder flettede sig sammen i hans fortælling, og sneen faldt fortsat omkring dem, næsten som om den lyttede med.En: Love, ambitions, and insecurities intertwined in his story, and the snow continued to fall around them, almost as if it were listening.Da: Da Mikkel afsluttede sin historie, var hans øjne fyldt med både lettelse og sorg.En: When Mikkel finished his story, his eyes were filled with both relief and sorrow.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, om jeg fortalte for meget," sagde han lavmælt.En: "I don't know if I said too much," he said softly.Da: "At dele denne historie kræver mod," sagde Freja stille.En: "Sharing this story takes courage," Freja said quietly.Da: "Og måske... måske er det ikke for sent at finde fred."En: "And maybe... maybe it's not too late to find peace."Da: Mikkel kiggede undrende på hende.En: Mikkel looked at her, puzzled.Da: "Hvordan?"En: "How?"Da: Freja smilede, hendes øjne venlige og opmuntrende.En: Freja smiled, her eyes kind and encouraging.Da: "Nogle gange er det ikke vores valg, der definerer os, men hvordan vi lever videre med dem.En: "Sometimes it's not our choices that define us, but how we move on from them.Da: Måske kan du se det som en lektion, der formede dig, ikke noget, der holdt dig tilbage."En: Maybe you can see it as a lesson that shaped you, not something that held you back."Da: Snefnug fortsatte med at dale ned på dem, og i det øjeblik indså Mikkel, at Freja havde ret.En: Snefnug continued to drift down upon them, and in that moment, Mikkel realized that Freja was right.Da: Ved at dele fortiden havde han taget et skridt fremad mod noget nyt og ukendt, men også befriende.En: By sharing the past, he had taken a...
