En: In Tivoli, as the evening sky grew dark and the lights began to sparkle, Mikkel wandered through the park. Da: Han var en kunstner på jagt efter inspiration. En: He was an artist in search of inspiration. Da: Miljøet var perfekt; farverige lanterner og græskarlygter lyste op blandt træerne. En: The setting was perfect; colorful lanterns and pumpkin lanterns lit up among the trees. Da: Alligevel, var hans sind tomt. En: Yet, his mind was blank. Da: Kreativiteten svigtede ham. En: Creativity failed him. Da: Han sukkede dybt og fortsatte sin vej langs stierne. En: He sighed deeply and continued his way along the paths. Da: Freja, klædt i en fin heksedragt, var blandt de mange besøgende, der fejrede Halloween. En: Freja, dressed in a fine witch costume, was among the many visitors celebrating Halloween. Da: Hun så sig omkring, forventningsfuld, men en smule forbeholden. En: She looked around, expectant but slightly reserved. Da: Hun ledte efter sin ven Niels, der skulle mødes med hende. En: She was looking for her friend Niels, who was supposed to meet her. Da: De sidste par gange, hun havde forsøgt at knytte nye forbindelser, var det ikke gået godt, og det gjorde hende nervøs denne gang. En: The last few times she had tried to make new connections, it hadn't gone well, and it made her nervous this time.

En: He needed a break from his creative block, and when he met Freja's gaze, he saw a kindred spirit. Da: "Jeg kan hjælpe dig med at finde ham," tilbød han. En: "I can help you find him," he offered.

Da: De begyndte at gå sammen gennem parken, mens de nød de uhyggelige dekorationer. En: They began to walk together through the park, enjoying the spooky decorations. Da: På en eller anden måde lette den fælles opgave presset, og Freja åbnede op om sin frygt for nye venskaber.
