**Voice Sheet: Scene at the Café** *Setting: An intimate, charming café in Alborn, MN, where quiet murmurs and the clinking of coffee cups punctuate the atmosphere. Marie sits at a small table by the window, her camera in hand, eyes scanning the recent shots of the town's apple festival. The bell above the door jingles as Hunter enters, his presence as imposing as ever.* --- **Hunter:** *with a straightforward tone* "Excuse me, miss. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about recent events here in town?" **Marie:** *looks up, startled, her hands trembling slightly as she fumbles to switch her camera off* "Pardon, je ne parle pas anglais... Il s'est passé quelque chose de très étrange." *(Pardon, I don't speak English... Something very strange happened.)* **Hunter:** *scratches his head, somewhat at a loss* "Uh, I'm sorry, I don't speak French. Did you see something unusual?" **Marie:** *leaning forward, her eyes wide with concern* "C'était effrayant... des gens ont disparu! Ils sont partis sans laisser de trace." *(It was frightening... people disappeared! They left without a trace.)* **Hunter:** *tries to decipher her expression and tone, nodding, hoping she's providing useful information* "Disappearances, right, I got that much. Can you show me on your camera?" **Marie:** *eagerly opens her camera, flipping through photos with urgency* "Regardez, ici... mais je ne sais pas si cela aidera." *(Look, here... but I don't know if this will help.)* **Hunter:** *leans in, glancing at the camera screen with interest* "Photos, okay. Maybe they have clues about those disappearances. Thanks for this. Ah... merci?" **Marie:** *smiles faintly, appreciative of the effort* "Oui, merci." *Hunter's phone vibrates insistently, breaking the moment. He checks it with a furrowed brow.* **Hunter:** *stands up, reluctantly preparing to leave* "I have to take this. But thank you, Miss...?" **Marie:** *nods, understanding despite the language barrier* "Marie." **Hunter:** *offers a nod of acknowledgment, stepping back towards the door* "Hunter. I'll reach out if I have more questions. Merci, Marie." *Marie offers a small wave as Hunter heads out, the doorbell chiming his departure, leaving her with a feeling of mixed relief and concern.*
