Story Transcript:
Da: Midt i Københavns glashav af moderne kontorbygninger sad Freja ved sit skrivebord.
En: In the glass sea of modern office buildings in København, Freja sat at her desk.
Da: Udenfor var vinteren i fuld gang, snefnug svævede forsigtigt ned på de travle gader.
En: Outside, winter was in full swing, snowflakes gently floating down onto the busy streets.
Da: Freja klikkede koncentreret på sin computer, mens deadline nærmede sig hastigt.
En: Freja clicked intently on her computer as the deadline rapidly approached.
Da: Hun var dygtig og ambitiøs, men sommetider følte hun, at det var svært at balancere mellem sine egne mål og at være en god kollega.
En: She was skilled and ambitious, but sometimes she felt it was difficult to balance her own goals with being a good colleague.
Da: Lars sad tværs over fra hende.
En: Lars sat across from her.
Da: Han var en pligtopfyldende medarbejder, altid dedikeret, men nogen gange lidt for presset af arbejdet.
En: He was a conscientious employee, always dedicated, but sometimes a bit too pressured by work.
Da: I dag skinnede hans angst igennem.
En: Today, his anxiety was showing.
Da: Hans naturlige ro var erstattet med uro.
En: His natural calm was replaced with restlessness.
Da: Mens Freja skimtede op fra skærmen, bemærkede hun Lars' rastløse hænder og uregelmæssige vejrtrækning.
En: As Freja glanced up from her screen, she noticed Lars' restless hands and irregular breathing.
Da: Hun vidste, hvad det betød.
En: She knew what it meant.
Da: Mens minutterne tikkede forbi, blev Frejas bekymring større.
En: As the minutes ticked by, Freja's concern grew.
Da: "Jeg har travlt," tænkte hun.
En: "I'm busy," she thought.
Da: Men hendes samvittighed lod hende ikke sidde stille.
En: But her conscience wouldn't let her sit still.
Da: Til sidst skubbede hun stolen tilbage og rejste sig beslutsomt.
En: Finally, she pushed her chair back and stood up decisively.
Da: Ude af stand til at ignorere det mere, gik hun over til break-rummet, hvor hun fandt Lars.
En: Unable to ignore it any longer, she walked over to the break room, where she found Lars.
Da: Lars sad alene, hans ansigt var blegt, og han gispede efter luft.
En: Lars sat alone, his face pale, gasping for air.
Da: "Lars, det er okay," sagde Freja blidt og satte sig roligt ved siden af ham.
En: "Lars, it's okay," said Freja gently as she sat calmly beside him.
Da: "Tag det stille og roligt, jeg er her."
En: "Take it easy, I'm here."
Da: Lars kiggede op med taknemmelighed og en smule skam.
En: Lars looked up with gratitude and a hint of shame.
Da: "Undskyld, jeg... jeg ved ikke, hvad der sker."
En: "Sorry, I... I don't know what's happening."
Da: "Du behøver ikke undskylde," forsikrede Freja.
En: "You don't need to apologize," Freja assured him.
Da: "Alle har brug for hjælp nogen gange.
En: "Everyone needs help sometimes.
Da: Har du prøvet at tale med nogen om det?"
En: Have you tried talking to someone about it?"
Da: Lars nikkede langsomt.
En: Lars nodded slowly.
Da: "Jeg... jeg har bare ikke vidst, hvor jeg skulle starte."
En: "I just haven't known where to start."
Da: Freja holdt en pause, lettet over at han var åben med hende.
En: Freja paused, relieved that he was open with her.
Da: "Hvad hvis vi laver en plan sammen?
En: "What if we make a plan together?
Da: Nogle mål for at håndtere det bedre?"
En: Some goals to manage it better?"
Da: Lars slugte og nikkede.
En: Lars swallowed and nodded.
Da: "Det kunne jeg godt tænke mig."
En: "I'd like that."
Da: Freja og Lars begyndte at tale om små skridt, han kunne tage, og Freja indså, hvor vigtigt det var at støtte hinanden i pressede situationer.
En: Freja and Lars began to talk about small steps he could take, and Freja realized how important it was to support each other in stressful situations.
Da: Timer senere, mens sneen skinnede i stearinlysenes lys fra kontorets vinduer, følte både Freja og Lars en lethed glide ind i deres sind.
En: Hours later, as the snow glistened in the candlelight from the office windows, both Freja and Lars felt a sense of ease entering their minds.
Da: Freja gik tilbage til sit skrivebord.
En: Freja returned to her desk.
Da: Hun havde måske mistet noget tid på sin deadline, men hun vandt noget langt mere værdifuldt - forståelsen af vigtigheden af mental sundhed og støtte på arbejdspladsen.
En: She might have lost some time on her deadline, but she gained something far more valuable - an understanding of the importance of mental health and support in the workplace.
Da: Lars fik ikke kun håb, men også en ven ved sin side.
En: Lars not only found hope but also a friend by his side.
Da: Sammen var de stærkere mod vinterens kulde og erhvervslivets udfordringer.
En: Together, they were stronger against the winter's cold and the challenges of the professional world.
