She looks up, startled, as Hunter approaches her table. Hunter, in his worn leather jacket and jeans, stops by her table, his eyes filled with concern. "Miss, are you okay? You look upset." Melanie looks at him, confused, and responds in German. Hunter's expression turns to confusion as he realizes he doesn't understand her. Melanie looks frustrated and anxious, her hands fidgeting with her camera. She tries to explain in broken English, "I... understand... not. I... speak... only... German." Hunter nods, understanding, and asks, "Do you speak English?" Melanie shakes her head, looking worried. Hunter points at her camera, asking, "You want to show me something on your camera?" Melanie nods, looking determined despite her fear. She picks up her camera, flipping through the photos until she finds what she's looking for. Just as she's about to show Hunter, his phone rings. He looks apologetic as he answers it, "I'm sorry, I have to take this." He steps away from the table, leaving Melanie waiting, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination.
