**Marie**: *[Speaking in French, looking troubled]* "Monsieur, je suis désolée, mais je ne parle pas anglais. C'est au sujet de la fête des pommes? Il y a eu un incident étrange... J'ai vu une ombre s'éloigner dans la nuit, mais je ne sais pas si c'est important." **Hunter**: "Uh... I'm sorry, miss, but I don't speak French. Is there anyone who can translate for us?" **Marie**: "Oh, non... J'ai peur et je ne comprends pas ce qui se passe dans cette ville." **Hunter**: "I can see you're upset. Maybe we can try to communicate using gestures and simple words?" **Marie**: *[Nodding, points to her camera]* "Photo... événement... mystérieux... dangereux." **Hunter**: "So, you took a picture of something mysterious and dangerous during the event?" **Marie**: *[Nods vigorously]* "Oui, oui! Photo... prise ici... Alborn." **Hunter**: "Okay, I understand. Can you show me the picture? Maybe I can figure out what's going on." **Marie**: *[Hands over the camera]* "Vous pouvez regarder." **Hunter**: "Thank you... *[pauses while examining the picture]* Hmm, that does look strange. I think you might have captured something important here." **Marie**: *[Looking hopeful, but still speaking in French]* "Vous pouvez m'aider? Je veux comprendre ce qui se passe dans cette ville." **Hunter**: "I'll do my best. I'm Detective Hunter, by the way. I'm investigating a series of disappearances in Alborn. Could you tell me your name?" **Marie**: "Marie... Marie Laurent." **Hunter**: "Nice to meet you, Marie. We'll try to get to the bottom of this." *[Hunter's phone rings. He takes the call, listens for a moment, and his expression grows serious.]* **Hunter**: "I'm sorry, Marie. I have to go now. But I'll be in touch. Please be careful and keep taking those pictures." **Marie**: *[Smiles weakly]* "Merci, detective. J'espère que nous pourrons nous comprendre mieux la prochaine fois." **Hunter**: "Me too, Marie. Goodbye for now." *[Hunter leaves, and Marie looks down at her camera, still feeling uneasy about the strange events in Alborn.]*
