Melanie: "Ah, Detective Hunter, I cannot believe this is happening. Es ist mir ein Dorn im Auge, dies Kleinverbrechen. Ich war kürzlich beim Foto-Wettbewerb beim applestival und sah ein Leerzeichen unter einer Foto-Tabelle. Ich war ganz wunderschön vom hässlichen Menschen..." Hunter: "Thank you, Melanie. That's extraordinary testimony. I'm afraid I can't take notes without some understanding, though. Could you possibly describe the scene more simply?" Melanie, sensing Hunter's predicament, takes a deep breath and replies with gestures and the few simple words she knows, impressing Hunter with the depth of her language skills despite the barrier. An interpreter may humorously be imagined to have provided translation in this scene, bridging the gap between the characters' languages and enabling the mystery novella to unfold further. Equipped with pictures from Melanie and the peripheral details she was able to convey, Hunter heads off to piece together ominous clues overshadowing the quaint celebration of Alborn's cherished tradition.
