**Scene: Encounter at the Cozy Cafe** [Selvi sits alone at a corner table in the cafe, her antique camera laid out in front of her. The cafe is a warm, inviting space with a subtle aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Hunter enters, his sharp eyes scanning the room until they land on Selvi, the only unfamiliar face in town.] Hunter: (Approaching Selvi with a confident stride) Hi there. Mind if I join you for a moment? I'm Detective Hunter, and I believe you might have some useful insights. [Selvi looks up, her dark eyes meeting Hunter's, a fleeting moment of curiosity flashing across her face.] Selvi: (Speaking in Hindi, her voice soft and troubled) क्या आप हिन्दी बोलते हैं? मुझे यकीन नहीं होता कि मेरे साथ ही ऐसा हो रहा है। (Do you understand Hindi? I can't believe this is happening to me.) [Hunter's eyebrows furrow, his confusion evident as he realizes the language barrier.] Hunter: I'm sorry, I don't speak Hindi. Are you Selvi? I was told you might have witnessed something unusual recently. [Selvi's hands move to her camera, her fingertips tracing the worn leather.] Selvi: (Switching to body language and gestures) 📷 🌇. (Points to herself, then makes a confused and frightened expression.) Hunter: (Leans forward, his tone gentle) You were at the old abandoned warehouse, weren't you? The one near the river. I can tell by your reaction that something happened there. Can you help me understand? [Selvi's gaze lowers, her eyes fixing on the camera as if it holds the weight of her experience.] Selvi: (Whispering in Hindi, her voice barely audible) वहाँ कोई था. मैंने कभी नहीं सोचा था... (There was someone there. I never thought...) [Hunter's phone interrupts, its ringtone demanding attention.] Hunter: (Glancing at his phone) I'm sorry, I have to take this. (Answers the call) Hunter here... [As he steps away to answer the call, Selvi gathers her camera, her movements conveying a mixture of relief and worry.] --- [Voice Sheet] **Selvi:** > ... **Hunter:** > I don't speak your language, but your gestures speak volumes.
