**Voice Sheet: Cafe Encounter** *The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the small cafe in the heart of Alborn, MN. Sunlight streams through the windows, casting a warm glow on the rustic wooden tables. Selvi, with her camera in hand, reviews the day's shots, her fingers absentmindedly flicking through images. Hunter, towering with his no-nonsense air, approaches, his detective's instincts buzzing with curiosity.* **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss. Are you familiar with what happened in town recently?" *Selvi looks up, her eyes wide and body tense. She answers in a soft, troubled voice, her words flowing in Hindi.* **Selvi:** "मैंने कुछ अजीब देखा था... पिछले दिनों यहाँ पास में।" (Translation: "I saw something strange... near here a few days ago.") *Hunter furrows his brow, trying to piece together the meaning from her intonation and expression, but finding nothing in the foreign syllables that can help him.* **Hunter:** "I'm sorry, I don't understand. Can you tell me in another way?" *Selvi, realizing the language barrier, gestures helplessly, her hands describing a lingering darkness, a sense of dread.* **Selvi:** "वहां कुछ गलत था। मैंने कोशिश की तस्वीर लेने की..." (Translation: "There was something wrong. I tried to take a picture...") *Hunter shakes his head slightly, lost but more intrigued than ever. He holds up his hand, signaling a halt to her words, and pulls out a notepad, hoping to bridge the communication gap.* **Hunter:** "Pictures? Can I see them? Maybe it will help." *Selvi nods, scrolling back to find the photo that seemed to capture more than just the autumn landscape. She holds the camera out to Hunter, but before he can comprehend the image, his phone rings disruptively.* **Hunter:** "Hold on—just one second." *Hunter steps aside to take the call, his expression shifting to professional focus. He throws an apologetic glance at Selvi as he listens intently, then turns back to her, urgency cutting through the air.* **Hunter:** "I have to go. But I'll need more of your help later. Can you stay in town for a while longer?" *Selvi nods, her camera clutched like a shield, her face reflecting a mix of relief and lingering anxiety.* *Hunter strides out of the cafe, leaving Selvi in the soft chatter of patrons and the steady hum of mysteries yet to unfold.*
