### Scene: Cozy Cafe in Alborn, MN Isabella sits at an outdoor table of Rosie’s Cafe, her camera in hand. She scrolls through the photos she's taken, her eyes troubled. An apple festival banner flutters gently in the breeze. Hunter approaches her with purpose in each step. --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me, ma'am. Can I have a word with you?" **Isabella:** *looks up, startled, then responds in Italian* "Mi scusi, non parlo inglese bene... Che cosa vuoi?" **Hunter:** *blinks, clearly not understanding* "Oh, great. Okay, um... disappearances? Missing people? You seen anything?" **Isabella:** *frowns, her hands begin to tremble as she tries to explain* "Le persone... scomparse... è successo qualcosa." **Hunter:** *rubs the back of his neck, looking more confused* "Yeah, that's what I'm trying to—right, this isn't working. Uh... photos? Camera?" *makes a clicking motion with his hand* **Isabella:** *nods, understanding the gesture* "Sì, foto... ma non so come... spiegare." **Hunter:** "Ah, this is frustrating. Can I see?" *points to the camera* **Isabella:** *hesitates, then shows him the screen of her camera* "Ecco... ma non so se capisce." **Hunter:** *leans closer to look at the photos, nodding absently* "Can't say I do but it’s a start. These look like... the park? Near the festival?" **Isabella:** *eyes widen with urgency, speaks more rapidly* "Sì, il parco! Ho visto qualcosa di strano." **Hunter:** *raises his hands slightly to calm her* "Whoa, slow down. Strange? How?" **Isabella:** *gestures with her hands, frustratedly trying to communicate* "Uh... ombra? Qualcuno nascosto forse." **Hunter:** *furrows his brow, takes a deep breath, and just as he’s about to ask more questions, his phone rings* "Hold on a sec, I've got to take this." **Hunter:** *answers the call, then looks at Isabella* "Gotta run. Thank you for... well, I'm not really sure. Stay safe." **Isabella:** *nods, still looking worried* "Sì, grazie... a te." Hunter rushes off, leaving Isabella more anxious than before, her eyes darting around as if trying to make sense of the fragments of the encounter.
