now?Pb: Depois de tanto tempo?"En: After so much time?"Pb: ele perguntou, um toque de frustração em seu tom despreocupado habitual.En: he asked, a hint of frustration in his usual carefree tone.Pb: Cecília reuniu coragem.En: Cecília gathered courage.Pb: "Porque precisamos de verdade uns dos outros.En: "Because we really need each other.Pb: Somos família."En: We are family."Pb: O jantar tornou-se o palco de uma discussão acalorada.En: Dinner became the stage for a heated discussion.Pb: Velhos ressentimentos foram expostos, palavras duras foram ditas.En: Old resentments were exposed, harsh words were spoken.Pb: Mas no calor da briga, algo mudou.En: But in the heat of the argument, something changed.Pb: Lágrimas substituíram palavras, e um silêncio vulnerável tomou conta.En: Tears replaced words, and a vulnerable silence took over.Pb: Cecília olhou para seus irmãos.En: Cecília looked at her brothers.Pb: "Sinto muito," ela disse simplesmente, sua voz quebrando.En: "I'm sorry,"

confessou.En: "I’m sorry too," he confessed.Pb: Mateus, segurando as lágrimas, finalmente desabafou: "Quero estar com vocês, apesar de tudo."En: Mateus, holding back tears, finally vented: "I want to be with you, despite everything."Pb: O jantar não terminou com risos, mas com a esperança tênue de algo novo.En: Dinner didn't end with laughter, but with the faint hope of something new.Pb: Uma promessa não falada de tentar de novo, de ser melhor.En: An unspoken promise to try again, to be better.Pb: Enquanto o vento continuava a uivar lá fora, dentro da casa, um calor tímido começava a nascer.En: While the wind continued to howl outside, inside the house, a timid warmth began to arise.Pb: Cecília encarou a noite fria, um sorriso discreto em seu rosto.En: Cecília faced the cold night, a faint smile on her face.Pb: Sabia que ainda havia muito a ser feito, mas aquela noite, naquela casa, era apenas o início.En: She knew there was still much to be done, but that night, in that house, was just the beginning.Pb: Afinal, todos têm suas próprias lutas, mas juntos, sempre há uma chance de vencer.En: After all, everyone has their own battles, but together, there's always a chance to overcome.
