Selvi sat at a quaint café in Alborn, sipping a cup of steaming coffee and examining her camera. The lens gleamed in the morning light as she contemplatively gazed at the recent shots she had taken. The peaceful atmosphere was disrupted when Hunter approached her, a stern expression etched on his face. Hunter leaned against the chair across from her. "Excuse me, miss. I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn Police Department. I need to ask you a few questions about the recent disappearances in town." Selvi's eyes widened as she understood the context. She nervously put the camera aside and stammered in Hindi, "Kya yah sach hai? Log gayab ho rahe hain? Police ko poori jaankari nahin hai? Main aisa nahin suna tha." (Is this true? People are disappearing? The police don't have any information? I haven't heard that.) Hunter looked puzzled and perplexed. His blank expression made it clear that he didn't understand a word she had said. Selvi, realizing the communication gap, slowed down and tried again in Hindi, using hand gestures for emphasis. However, Hunter remained clueless. After a moment of silence, Hunter hesitantly asked, "Ma'am, do you speak any English? I really need to ask you some questions." Selvi quickly rummaged through her bag and pulled out a phrasebook. She scribbled a message in English using the book to guide her, her handwriting shaky. The message read: "I don't speak English. Please write questions. I'll answer using sign language or write in Hindi if possible." Hunter nodded sympathetically and began to write down his questions. They spent the next twenty minutes conversing through scribbled messages and gestures. As they tried to bridge the language gap, the initial awkwardness dissipated, but the urgency of the investigation loomed large. Just as they were making progress, Hunter's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, excusing himself with a sincere apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I have an emergency call. I'll be back soon." With that, he swiftly departed, leaving Selvi with a mix of relief and worry. Voice Sheet: Selvi: "Kya yah sach hai? Log gayab ho rahe hain? Police ko poori jaankari nahin hai?
