uma última foto.En: Renato took one last photo.Pb: Era a imagem perfeita.En: It was the perfect image.Pb: Agora ele via.En: Now he saw.Pb: A verdadeira beleza estava nos momentos de conexão, no espírito humano que brilhou mais forte que qualquer luz elétrica.En: The true beauty was in the moments of connection, in the human spirit that shone brighter than any electric light.Pb: Ele tinha

satisfeito.En: Renato turned the corner, satisfied.Pb: Sabia que aquela noite tinha mudado sua visão.En: He knew that night had changed his perspective.Pb: E pela primeira vez, ele acreditou verdadeiramente no seu talento.En: And for the first time, he truly believed in his talent.Pb: Nas noites que se seguiram, enquanto ajeitava suas fotos para enviar à revista, ele manteve na mente as palavras que Marina havia lhe dito antes da luz apagar: “É a cara do Natal, Renato!” E foi assim que Renato percebeu que a maior luz de todas está dentro dos corações das pessoas.En: In the nights that followed, while adjusting his photos to send to the magazine, he kept in mind the words that Marina had said before the lights went out: “That's the face of Natal, Renato!” And so Renato realized that the greatest light of all is within the hearts of people.
