[Voice Sheet: Café Encounter – Maria and Hunter] Maria: (softly, muttering to herself while reviewing photos) "Qué raro... esa sombra... estaba allí antes, ¿no? Y el hombre del abrigo... ¿por qué me miraba así? No había nadie más... y ahora desapareció de la foto. Esto no es normal..." Hunter: (approaching the table, calm but direct) "Excuse me, miss. You’ve been in town a few days now, right? Ever notice anything... unusual around Alborn? Missing people? Strange behavior?" Maria: (startled, looks up with wide eyes) "¿Qué? Lo siento, no entiendo inglés. ¿Hablas español? Vi algo… en el bosque ayer. Una figura. No había nadie, pero la cámara lo capturó. Y ahora… tengo miedo." Hunter: (frowning, trying to follow) "Uh… you’re saying you saw something? In the woods? Did you—did you lose someone? Missing?" Maria: (frustrated, gesturing to her camera) "No, no perdí a nadie… pero la foto… ¡la persona no estaba cuando miré, pero está AHÍ! ¡En la imagen! Y anoche… la ventana de mi habitación… escuché susurros. En un idioma que no conozco..." Hunter: (leaning in, intrigued but struggling) "Wait—you saw something on camera? Like a person? You took a picture of someone you didn’t see in real time?" Maria: (nodding rapidly) "Sí, sí… como un fantasma… o algo peor. Y la gente aquí… hablan del festival, de manzanas… pero nadie habla de los que se fueron. El hombre del café, el niño del camino… ya no están." Hunter: (eyes narrowing, voice lower) "People have gone missing, yeah. Three in six weeks. You’re saying you might’ve captured one of them? Or... something connected?" Maria: (shaking her head, voice trembling) "No lo sé… pero mi instinto dice que debo irme. Esta ciudad… no es segura. Siento que me observan cuando saco fotos." (Phone rings sharply. Hunter pulls it out.) Hunter: (into phone) "Yeah. Hunter here." (Pause as he listens, expression hardening.) Hunter: (to Maria, apologetically firm) "Gotta go. But—stay here. Don’t go back to your room alone. Lock yourself in if you can. I’ll come back. Understand? Stay safe." Maria: (confused, clutching her camera) "¿Qué pasa? ¿Otro desaparecido?" Hunter: (already turning away) "Just… stay put." [End Scene]
