  • El vent fred de tardor començava a bufar per les finestres del servei psiquiàtric, fent ballar les fulles rogenques dels arbres del jardí.

    The cold autumn wind began to blow through the windows of the psychiatric ward, making the reddish leaves of the garden trees dance.

  • A dins, Oriol mirava per la finestra amb ulls plens de somnis.

    Inside, Oriol looked out the window with eyes full of dreams.

  • Li encantava el teatre, era el seu refugi quan l'ansietat i la depressió l'atrapaven.

    He loved theater; it was his refuge when anxiety and depression captured him.

  • Sense deixar-se vèncer, havia decidit que volia formar part de l'obra de Halloween de l'escola.

    Without letting himself be defeated, he had decided that he wanted to be part of the school's Halloween play.

  • Aquest desig bategava al seu cor, malgrat els reptes que se li presentaven.

    This desire beat in his heart, despite the challenges he faced.

  • Volia demostrar-se a ell mateix i als altres que podia fer-ho, que podia sobrepassar les seves pors.

    He wanted to prove to himself and to others that he could do it, that he could overcome his fears.

  • Un matí, mentre esmorzaven al menjador comú, Oriol va trobar-se amb Laia i en Marc.

    One morning, while having breakfast in the common dining room, Oriol met with Laia and Marc.

  • Eren dos companys amics que també estaven al servei.

    They were two fellow friends who were also at the ward.

  • "Ei, què us semblaria fer assajos a les estones de lleure?" va proposar l'Oriol ple d'esperança.

    "Hey, what would you think about rehearsing during leisure time?" Oriol proposed, full of hope.

  • La Laia, amb un somriure juganer, li va contestar: "Jo podria ser la bruixa!", mentre el Marc ja s'imaginava fent de monstre terrorífic.

    Laia, with a playful smile, replied, "I could be the witch!" while Marc was already imagining himself as a terrifying monster.

  • Així, amb il·lusió i una mica de nervis, van començar a practicar a les sales comunes.

    Thus, with excitement and a bit of nerves, they began to practice in the common rooms.

  • A poc a poc, els personatges començaven a cobrar vida entre aquelles parets.

    Slowly, the characters began to come to life within those walls.

  • L'assumpte no era fàcil.

    The matter was not easy.

  • L'Oriol s'enfrontava a la seva pròpia ment cada dia, amb dubtes constants sobre si podria fer acomplir el seu objectiu.

    Oriol faced his own mind every day, with constant doubts about whether he could achieve his goal.

  • Quan no estava assajant, reflexionava sol sobre la seva capacitat.

    When he wasn't rehearsing, he reflected alone on his capability.

  • La seva confiança era fràgil com una teranyina, però la determinació creixia en ell.

    His confidence was as fragile as a spider's web, but determination grew within him.

  • El moment clau va arribar un divendres a la tarda.

    The key moment came on a Friday afternoon.

  • El director de l'obra de l'escola va acceptar que Oriol participés en un assaig especial.

    The school's play director agreed that Oriol could participate in a special rehearsal.

  • Vestit de dimoni, amb les robes negres que li quedaven una mica grans, va pujar a l'escenari del gimnàs, decorat amb carbasses i teranyines.

    Dressed as a demon, in black clothes that were a bit too big for him, he stepped onto the gymnasium stage, decorated with pumpkins and cobwebs.

  • La sala bullia d'expectació.

    The room buzzed with anticipation.

  • Va respirar profundament, el cor li bategava fort.

    He took a deep breath, his heart beating strongly.

  • Quan va començar el seu monòleg, les paraules fluïen i el silenci s'apoderava de l'auditorium.

    When he began his monologue, the words flowed, and silence took over the auditorium.

  • Els espectadors, tant alumnes com professors, van quedar embadalits amb la manera com transmetia emocions.

    The spectators, both students and teachers, were captivated by the way he conveyed emotions.

  • El director, sorprès i emocionat, va aplaudir primer.

    The director, surprised and moved, was the first to applaud.

  • La proesa d'Oriol no va passar desapercebuda.

    Oriol's feat did not go unnoticed.

  • Amb una nova confiança al seu interior, es va sentir que les seves ales invisibles l'elevaven.

    With new-found confidence within him, he felt as though his invisible wings were lifting him.

  • L'endemà, el director va contactar amb el servei psiquiàtric.

    The next day, the director contacted the psychiatric ward.

  • Vaig saber que tenia una nova oportunitat: tornar a l'escola per actuar en la funció final.

    He learned that he had a new opportunity: to return to the school to perform in the final show.

  • Van organitzar un vehicle especial per a ell.

    They arranged a special vehicle for him.

  • El dia de l'obra, l'Oriol ho va fer encara millor.

    On the day of the play, Oriol performed even better.

  • Els aplaudiments van sonar com trons i el van envoltar de calor i acollida.

    The applause sounded like thunder, surrounding him with warmth and welcome.

  • Per primera vegada en molt de temps, se sentia fortament connectat amb el seu entorn.

    For the first time in a long while, he felt strongly connected to his environment.

  • Aquell moment va ser més que una actuació; va ser un triomf personal.

    That moment was more than a performance; it was a personal triumph.

  • En acabar la funció, mentre tornava cap al servei, el vent va seguir bufant, portant amb ell les fulles amb nous somnis.

    At the end of the show, as he returned to the ward, the wind continued to blow, carrying with it leaves with new dreams.

  • Oriol havia canviat.

    Oriol had changed.

  • Ara sabia que la seva fragilitat podia convertir-se en la font de la seva força.

    Now he knew that his fragility could become the source of his strength.

  • Mireu-li els ulls, plens de llum, i sabreu que ha trobat el seu camí.

    Look into his eyes, full of light, and you will know that he has found his path.

  • La tardor va seguir avançant amb ell, valent i lluminós.

    Autumn continued to advance with him, brave and bright.
