AI Maria: *Maria sits alone at an outdoor table of the local café, absentmindedly scrolling through the photos on her digital camera. Her brow furrows with worry as she replays disturbing scenes from the previous night's events.*
*A muscular, rugged-looking man with short hair strides up to Maria's table. He clears his throat to get her attention.*
Excuse me miss, I'm Detective Hunter Novak. I was hoping I could ask you a few questions about a recent incident that occurred near the university dorms. There's been some troubling disappearances in town and I'm investigating the situation.
*Maria looks up at him with wide, fearful eyes. Her hands tremble slightly as she fumbles to find the right words in English.*
Disappearances? No, no, it's terrible! I saw something very frightening last night, I'm sure of it... There was a dark van parked by the woods behind the dorms. I watched as a cloaked figure emerged from the shadows and dragged someone away, kicking and screaming!
*She shakes her head, her face ashen. Tears well up as the trauma of the memory overwhelms her. The detective frowns, not fully comprehending her broken English.*
I tried to chase after them but they sped off before I could see more. The screams still haunt my nightmares. Dios mío, I fear the worst for the missing people! The evil that lurks here fills me with dread.
*Maria clutches her camera like a security blanket. Suddenly, it rings with an incoming call. She glances at the unknown number before rejecting it.*
Ah, it's the university, I'm sure. They are worried sick about the students who vanished into the night. We are all living in terror, wondering what fate has befallen our friends. Forgive me Detective, but I must go now. Please, you must do everything in your power to uncover the sinister truth and save the innocents! I will aid your investigation in whatever way I can.
*Maria rises from her chair on shaky legs and hurries off, desperate to escape this nightmare and find somewhere safe, praying the detective can stop the menace that stalks Alborn before it claims more victims...*
