Melanie: (in German, concerned and shaken) "Ja, ich war auch dort. Es war eine schwere Nachricht, aber ich bin froh, dass es jemanden gab, der es mitgemacht hat." (Yes, I was there too. It was a difficult moment, but I'm glad there was someone there to share it with.) Hunter: (confused) "Um...sorry, I don't understand German. Can you speak English?" Melanie: (looks surprised) "Oh, ja. Sorry. I didn't realize you didn't speak German. I was just saying that I was also there and it was hard, but I'm glad there was someone to share it with." (looks away, still shaken) Hunter: (sympathetic) "I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Detective Hunter, and I'm investigating a few disappearances in town. Can you tell me what you saw at the event?" Melanie: (hesitant) "It was the annual apple festival. Many people were there, enjoying the music and the food. But then the mayor came on stage and announced that one of the popular orchards had been vandalized overnight." Hunter: (taking notes) "Any idea who could've done it?" Melanie: (shrugs) "No, I didn't see anything suspicious. But there was a lot of anger and disappointment in the crowd. Many people rely on that orchard for their income during the fall harvest." Hunter: (nods) "Thanks for your help. If you remember anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me." (gives her his card) Melanie: (nods) "Ja, sicher." (Yes, of course.)
