Here is the scene: Melanie sat at the small café, sipping a latte and scrolling through the photos on her camera. The sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the vibrant colors of the apple festival decorations that still lingered around town. She stopped on a particular shot of the festival's main stage, her mind wandering to the strange atmosphere that had settled over Alborn since the disappearances started. Just as she was about to put her camera away, a tall, rugged-looking man approached her table. He flashed a badge and introduced himself as Detective Hunter. "Mind if I join you, miss?" he asked, his tone firm but polite. Melanie shook her head, gesturing to the empty chair across from her. Hunter sat down, his eyes scanning the café before focusing on Melanie. "I'm investigating some... incidents in town. I understand you're new around here?" Melanie's brow furrowed, unsure what he was getting at. "Ja, ich bin hier auf Studienaufenthalt..." She trailed off, realizing Hunter's confused expression. "What was that?" Hunter asked, his eyes narrowing. Melanie's hands began to tremble, and she took a deep breath before trying again in German. "Die Leute, die verschwunden sind... ich habe sie gesehen. Sie warencreature so freundlich, und dann waren sie einfach weg." Hunter's face was a picture of confusion. "I'm sorry, miss, I didn't catch any of that. Do you speak English at all?" Melanie's eyes welled up, and she frantically searched for the right words, but they escaped her. "Nein, ich... ich verstehe nicht. Ich brauche... übersetzen." Just then, Hunter's phone rang. He apologized and got up to answer it, his eyes never leaving Melanie's face. "Detective Hunter... Yeah, I'm on my way." Melanie watched as he walked out of the café, feeling a mix of frustration and fear. Who could help her make sense of what was happening in this strange town? --- Here is the voice sheet: Melanie: "Ja, ich bin hier auf Studienaufenthalt...", "Die Leute, die verschwunden sind... ich habe sie gesehen.
