**Voice Sheet: Scene at the Café** *Melanie is sitting at a small café table, adjusting the settings on her camera, glancing occasionally at the bustling street outside. Hunter strides up, his detective badge clipped visibly to his belt.* **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss. I heard about the recent disappearances in town. Do you know anything about it?" **Melanie:** "Ich... ich weiß nicht, was passieren ist. Es ist alles sehr unheimlich." *(I... I don’t know what’s happening. It’s all very eerie.)* *Hunter furrows his brow, clearly not understanding her.* **Hunter:** "Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Is everything alright?" **Melanie:** "Die Leute verschwinden... ich kann nicht glauben, dass das hier passiert." *(People are disappearing... I can’t believe this is happening here.)* **Hunter:** "Disappearing? You mean, like the others? Are you in danger?" *Melanie's hands tremble slightly as she grips her camera, tears welling up in her eyes.* **Melanie:** "Ja, ich habe Angst. Ich habe Angst, dass ich als Nächste verschwinde." *(Yes, I'm scared. I’m scared that I will be next.)* *Hunter's face softens with concern, trying to bridge the language barrier.* **Hunter:** "I… I want to help. Can you stay somewhere safe? Talk to someone who can assist you?" *Melanie shakes her head, feeling lost and alone.* **Melanie:** "Ich bin allein hier. Niemand versteht mich." *(I am alone here. No one understands me.)* *Hunter pulls out his notepad and scribbles down a phone number.* **Hunter:** "This is my number. If you need anything... don’t hesitate to call. Please stay safe." *Before Melanie can respond, Hunter's phone rings, interrupting the moment.* **Hunter:** "Sorry, I have to take this." *He nods to her, a look of urgency in his eyes before stepping away to answer the call.* *Melanie watches him walk away, hoping he can solve the mystery that has engulfed her new home, unsure of what the next moments will hold.*
