Da: Han ønskede, at de skulle deltage i en fælles aktivitet: Fastelavns tøndeslagning.

Da: Han håbede, at denne traditionelle leg ville bringe dem tættere.
En: He hoped this traditional game would bring them closer.

Da: Under legen blev stemningen først let og legende, men snart begyndte gamle spændinger at boble op.

Da: Da det blev Sørens tur til at slå på tønden, brød han pludselig i frustration.

Da: En gammel misforståelse dukkede op til overfladen igen, og tavshederne blev til højlydte ord.
En: An old misunderstanding resurfaced, and silences turned into loud words.

Da: Freja forsøgte at mægle, men det blev snart klart, at de alle måtte tale fra hjertet.
