Et: Pimedal talvepäeval, kui põhjatuul ulus akna taga, astus Kaisa tasahilju haigla uksest sisse.
En: On a dark winter day, as the north wind howled outside the window, Kaisa quietly entered the hospital's door.
Et: Tema kingad kriiksusid vastu kivipõrandat.
En: Her shoes creaked against the stone floor.
Et: Ta oli tulnud külastama oma nooremat venda, Ailarit, kes veetis aega psühhiaatriaosakonnas.
En: She had come to visit her younger brother, Ailar, who was spending time in the psychiatric ward.
Et: Ailar istus akna all tualettpaberiga voodil, vaadates lumega kaetud õue.
En: Ailar sat by the window on the bed with toilet paper, looking at the snow-covered courtyard.
Et: Seal oli rahu, kuid tema hinges valitses torm.
En: There was peace outside, but a storm raged within him.
Et: Kaisa tundis, kuidas Eeva, nende ema, püüdis naeratada.
En: Kaisa felt how Eeva, their mother, tried to smile.
Et: "Kuidas sa end tunned, Ailar?"
En: "How are you feeling, Ailar?"
Et: küsis Kaisa ettevaatlikult.
En: Kaisa asked carefully.
Et: Vaikus vastas talle, ja Kaisa tundis end hetkeks abituna.
En: Silence answered her, and for a moment, Kaisa felt helpless.
Et: Aga ta teadis, et ei tohi alla anda.
En: But she knew she must not give up.
Et: Ta istus venna kõrvale, pannes talle käe õlale.
En: She sat next to her brother, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Et: Ailar värises kergelt, ja Kai püüdis oma käega teda rahustada.
En: Ailar trembled slightly, and Kai tried to calm him with her touch.
Et: "Ma tean, et see aasta oli raske," alustas Kaisa.
En: "I know this year has been tough," began Kaisa.
Et: Ta vaatas aknast välja, näidates oma venna poole ja edastas vaikse lubaduse.
En: She looked out the window, showing her brother's direction and conveying a quiet promise.
Et: "Aga elu ei lõpe siin, saad aru?
En: "But life doesn't end here, you understand?
Et: Ma olin ka nooruses kadunud.
En: I, too, was lost in my youth.
Et: Olin kindel, et ei leia väljapääsu, aga meie pere toetus aitas mul jalule tõusta."
En: I was sure there was no way out, but the support of our family helped me to rise."
Et: Ailar surus huuled kokku, silmad vees.
En: Ailar pressed his lips together, eyes watering.
Et: Ta ei tahtnud koormata oma perekonda veelgi, aga midagi selles vaikuses ja tema õe loo aususes andis talle jõudu rääkida.
En: He didn't want to burden his family further, but something in that silence and his sister's honest story gave him the strength to speak.
Et: "Ma tunnen end nii... tühi," sosistas ta lõpuks.
En: "I feel so... empty," he whispered finally.
Et: Kaisa ja Eeva sulgesid silmad, valu venna sõnades täitis tuba.
En: Kaisa and Eeva closed their eyes, the pain in their brother's words filling the room.
Et: Kaisa võttis Ailari käe pihku.
En: Kaisa took Ailar's hand.
Et: "Sa ei ole üksi," ütles ta kindlalt.
En: "You're not alone," she said firmly.
Et: "Me oleme siin, koos sinuga, ükskõik mis ka ei juhtuks.
En: "We're here, with you, no matter what happens.
Et: Sa ei pea kandma seda koormat üksi."
En: You don't have to carry this burden alone."
Et: Eeva noogutas vaikides, pisarad silmanurgas.
En: Eeva nodded silently, tears at the corners of her eyes.
Et: Ta sirutas oma...
