Na Páscoa, a luz do sol atravessava as janelas quebradas da Catedral abandonada de Lisboa, criando padrões brilhantes no chão empoeirado.
At Easter, the sunlight pierced through the broken windows of the abandoned Catedral of Lisboa, creating bright patterns on the dusty floor.
Beatriz olhava para o teto alto, onde as trepadeiras já avançavam, tomavam o que era antes sagrado.
Beatriz gazed at the high ceiling, where vines had already advanced, claiming what was once sacred.
Era estranho como a natureza seguia seu curso, mesmo quando o mundo humano parava.
It was strange how nature continued its course, even when the human world had stopped.
Beatriz estava ali para buscar suprimentos.
Beatriz was there to gather supplies.
Era primavera, mas Lisboa ainda era uma cidade perigosa.
It was spring, but Lisboa was still a dangerous city.
ApĂłs o colapso, sobreviver tornara-se uma arte.
After the collapse, surviving had become an art.
Beatriz era uma artista habilidosa.
Beatriz was a skilled artist.
Mas ali, naquela Catedral esquecida, ela sentiu uma presença familiar.
But there, in that forgotten Catedral, she felt a familiar presence.
"Beatriz," a voz soou suave, quase um sussurro.
"Beatriz," the voice sounded soft, almost a whisper.
Rui, seu irmĂŁo mais novo, estava ali.
Rui, her younger brother, was there.
Anos atrás, ele deixara a famĂlia por razões que Beatriz ainda tentava entender.
Years ago, he had left the family for reasons that Beatriz was still trying to understand.
Agora, ele estava de volta, com olhos cheios de arrependimento.
Now, he was back, with eyes full of regret.
"O que fazes aqui, Rui?"
"What are you doing here, Rui?"
Beatriz perguntou, mantendo a distância.
Beatriz asked, keeping her distance.
Sobreviver significava nĂŁo confiar facilmente.
Surviving meant not trusting easily.
"Vim procurar-te," Rui respondeu.
"I came to find you," Rui replied.
"Quero consertar as coisas."
"I want to make things right."
Beatriz cruzou os braços.
Beatriz crossed her arms.
Sabia que as palavras eram fáceis.
She knew words were easy.
Queria ver o que havia mudado nele.
She wanted to see what had changed in him.
Olhando nos olhos dele, nĂŁo conseguia decidir se era seguro confiar.
Looking into his eyes, she couldn't decide if it was safe to trust.
"Se quiseres uma chance, vem comigo buscar suprimentos," disse Beatriz.
"If you want a chance, come with me to gather supplies," said Beatriz.
Uma decisão perigosa, mas era a única maneira de testar suas intenções.
A dangerous decision, but it was the only way to test his intentions.
Partiram juntos.
They set off together.
As ruas de Lisboa eram silenciosas, exceto pelo canto dos pássaros e o soprar do vento.
The streets of Lisboa were silent, except for the singing of the birds and the blowing wind.
A tensão entre os dois era palpável, mas Rui estava determinado a ganhar a confiança da irmã.
The tension between them was palpable, but Rui was determined to earn his sister's trust.
De repente, um grupo de homens apareceu.
Suddenly, a group of men appeared.
Um gangue, cruel e impiedosa.
A gang, cruel and ruthless.
"Entreguem o que tĂŞm," um deles exigiu.
"Hand over what you have," one of them demanded.
Beatriz se preparou para lutar, mas foi Rui quem deu um passo Ă frente.
Beatriz braced herself to fight, but it was Rui who stepped forward.
"Deixem-na em paz," ele disse, com coragem.
"Leave her alone," he said, with courage.
Rui lutou, deu-lhes tempo para escaparem.
Rui fought, giving them time to escape.
Finalmente, seguros entre ruĂnas, Beatriz olhou para seu irmĂŁo, vendo um novo brilho em seus olhos.
Finally, safe among the ruins, Beatriz looked at her brother, seeing a new shine in his eyes.
Estava claro que ele mudara.
It was clear he had changed.
"Obrigada," ela disse, suavemente.
"Thank you," she said, softly.
"NĂŁo tens de agradecer," Rui respondeu.
"You don't have to thank me," Rui answered.
"Vou estar aqui, se me deixares."
"I'll be here if you'll let me."
Beatriz respirou fundo, o coração menos pesado.
Beatriz took a deep breath, her heart lighter.
Com esperança, eles decidiram juntos, sob as sombras imponentes da Catedral, procurar uma nova comunidade.
With hope, they decided together, under the Catedral's imposing shadows, to search for a new community.
Um lugar onde pudessem recomeçar.
A place where they could start anew.
Aquela Páscoa trouxe renascimento, não só para a cidade, mas também para os laços que pensavam quebrados.
That Easter brought rebirth, not only to the city but also to the bonds they thought were broken.
Juntos, Beatriz e Rui começaram o caminho da confiança, prontos para enfrentar o que viesse, em unĂssono.
Together, Beatriz and Rui started down the path of trust, ready to face whatever came, in unison.
