Selvi: *(Inspecting her camera lens carefully)* Hunter: "Excuse me, ma'am, I couldn't help but notice your camera. Saw you at the festival yesterday. Were you taking pictures during the apple parade?" Selvi: *(Looks up, slightly startled)* "ओह, मैं... मैं समझी नहीं। क्या आप हिंदी बोल सकते हैं?" *(Oh, I... I don't understand. Do you speak Hindi?)* Hunter: *(Scratches his head, smiling awkwardly)* "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. No Hindi, just English." Selvi: "मुझे खेद है, मैं अंग्रेजी नहीं बोल सकती।" *(I'm sorry, I cannot speak English.)* Hunter: *(Takes out his phone and tries using a translation app)* "Are you here for the festival?" Selvi: *(Nods, then speaks slowly, trying to formulate simple words)* "Yes, festival, but... समस्या है।" *(There is a problem.)* Hunter: "Problem? What kind of problem?" Selvi: *(Visibly distressed, gestures with her hands to explain, speaking in Hindi)* "मैंने कुछ अजीब देखा। लोग... गायब हो रहे हैं। कुछ सही नहीं है यहाँ।" *(I saw something strange. People... disappearing. Something is not right here.)* Hunter: *(Frowns, trying to understand, picks up a few words)* "People disappearing? Can you show me?" Selvi: *(Nods, scrolls through her camera and shows him a few pictures of crowded scenes, pointing at faces and then at empty spaces)* Hunter: "Hmm, I need to look into this. Can we try and meet with someone who can translate for us?" Selvi: *(Nods in agreement)* *(Hunter's phone rings. He looks at it, frowning.)* Hunter: "I have to take this call, but can we meet here tomorrow? Same time?" Selvi: "कल? हाँ, कल।" *(Tomorrow? Yes, tomorrow.)* Hunter: "Great! I'll bring someone who speaks Hindi. Thank you, Selvi." Selvi: *(Smiles politely, still a bit anxious)* "धन्यवाद।" *(Thank you.)*
