En: The lobby of Helsinki-Vantaa airport was bustling with people. Fi: Kevään raikas tuuli leijaili sisään välillä avautuvista ovista. En: The fresh spring breeze floated in through doors that occasionally opened. Fi: Matkustajat ympärillä etsivät portteja, ja kaiuttimista kuului kuulutuksia. En: Passengers around were searching for gates, and announcements could be heard from the speakers. Fi: Veera istui penkillä, sormet naputtaen laukkuunsa rytmiä, jota vain hän kuuli. En: Veera sat on a bench, her fingers tapping a rhythm on her bag that only she could hear. Fi: Hänen sydämensä löi kiivaasti, odottaessaan Eliasin tuloa.

Fi: Etäisyys oli kuin näkymätön muuri heidän välillään. En: The distance was like an invisible wall between them. Fi: Hanna oli ollut hänen tuken…","meta_description":"Fluent Fiction - Finnish : Reunited at Helsinki-Vantaa: Veera and Elias's Journey of Love Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fl…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1105,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/fluentfiction-finnish-6696387/episodes/reunited-at-helsinki-vantaa-veera-and-elias-s-journey-of-love/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluentfiction-finnish-6696387/reunited-at-helsinki-vantaa-veera-and-elias-s-journey-of-love.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
