**Scene: A cozy corner cafe in the heart of Alborn, MN. The afternoon sun casts a warm glow through the windows. Isabella sits alone at a small table, intently reviewing photos on her camera, a furrow of worry on her brow. Hunter enters the cafe, his sharp eyes scanning the room until they settle on her.** --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me, Miss. Are you Isabella?" **Isabella:** *looks up, startled, her expression a mix of apprehension and confusion* "...Sì, sono Isabella." **Hunter:** *pauses, noting the language barrier* "I'm Detective Hunter. I'm investigating the disappearances in town and need to ask you a few questions." **Isabella:** *frowns, unsure of his words, responding in a shaky voice* "Non capisco... cosa vuoi dire? Le persone... scomparse?" **Hunter:** *scratches his head, trying to piece together what she said* "Uh, yeah, yeah. Disappearances. Do you know anything?" **Isabella:** *gestures frantically, still speaking Italian, her voice rising with emotion* "Ho visto qualcosa! Una figura... nella foresta! Ma... non so cosa fare. È tutto molto strano!" **Hunter:** *senses her distress, but is unable to decipher her words* "I... I’m not getting much of this. You saw something in the forest?" **Isabella:** *nods vigorously, repeating slower in Italian, as if willing him to understand* "Sì, sì! Nel bosco! Fotografato, ma... paura!" **Hunter:** *looks at her camera, trying to understand* "Photo? You took a photo?" *gestures to the camera* "On there?" **Isabella:** *understanding his gesture, she nods again, her voice trembling* "Sì... ma difficile spiegare... in inglese." **Hunter:** *frustrated but patient* "Okay, okay. Can you show me the photo?" **Isabella:** *quickly goes through her camera, finding the image, and shows him* "Questo. Qui. Vedi?" **Hunter:** *peers at the screen, squinting at a shadowy figure amongst the trees, he recognizes the urgency but remains confused* "Hmm... okay. I think I see. Thank you." *As he nods, his phone buzzes in his pocket. He takes it out, glancing at the screen with a grim expression.* **Hunter:** "Sorry, I have to go. But stay in town, okay? We’ll need to talk again." **Isabella:** *nods, offering a small, worried smile* "Va bene... resterò qui." *Hunter gives a reassuring nod before briskly exiting the cafe, leaving Isabella alone once more, clutching her camera like a lifeline.*
