En: He had traveled a lot, always seeking adventure, but deeper inside, he longed for a connection to the family. No: De satte seg sammen, ved vannkanten hvor lyset glitret i det klare vannet. En: They sat together by the water's edge where the light glittered in the clear water. No: "Vi var alltid en familie," begynte Sindre, stemmen myk og forsiktig. En: "We were always a family," began Sindre, his voice soft and careful. No: "Jeg vil at vi skal være det igjen. En: "I want us to be that again." No: "Elin så bort. En: Elin looked away.
