**Scene:** The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries fills the air as Selvi sits at a corner table in *The Apple Pie Café*, a cozy spot nestled in the heart of Alborn, MN. Her camera is laid out on the table, and she's lost in thought, her eyes scanning the photos she's captured from the town's recent apple festival. Suddenly, the door chimes, and in walks a tall, imposing man in a crisp suit, his uniform badge glinting in the sunlight. It's Detective Hunter. Hunter: "Mind if I sit down?" He gestures to the empty chair across from Selvi. Selvi: *looks up, startled* (in Hindi) "Oh, no, of course not. I'm Selvi. You are?" Hunter: *sits down, looking confused* "Hunter. I'm the detective investigating the recent disappearances in Alborn. I couldn't help but notice you were taking photos. The apple festival, right?" Selvi: *nods, looking troubled* (in Hindi) "Yes, yes, it was the festival. I am a student here on a study abroad program. I don't understand what is happening, Detective. The disappearances... it is all very strange." Hunter: *tilts his head, trying to understand* "Strange, how so?" Selvi: *shudders* (in Hindi) "Everyone is so worried. The apple festival was supposed to be a happy time, but now... people are scared. They said things have been... happening." Hunter: *pauses* "Happening? Like what?" Selvi: *gestures vaguely* "I don't know. Strange whispers in the night. Unusual sightings. I have seen things myself. I'm not sure what to believe." Hunter: *frowns, looking determined* "Well, I'm trying to find out. I need to ask you something. Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously around the festival grounds?" Selvi: *shakes her head* "Not really. But sometimes, I feel like I'm being followed. There's been a man... he watches me when I think he's not looking." Hunter: *jots down some notes* "A man? Have you seen him anywhere in particular?" Selvi: *nods* "Yes, near the old mill by the river. He's always there, just... watching." Hunter: *looks up, a hint of urgency in his voice* "Thanks, Selvi. I appreciate your help. Now, I have to take this call. I'll be in touch." *Hunter pulls out his phone and walks away, leaving Selvi to her thoughts and her camera.* **Voice Sheet:** Selvi: *sighs* "I hope I can help. I just want to understand what's happening in this town." Hunter: *picks up his phone* "Thanks for your time, Selvi. I'll keep you posted." *They both exchange glances, Hunter's determined, Selvi's concerned.*
