# Voice Sheet: Cafe Encounter **Setting:** *Alborn Cafe. Selvi sits at a corner table, scrolling through her camera's photos. Hunter approaches with his notepad.* --- Selvi: *(looking up, startled)* "Haan? Kya hua?" Hunter: "Miss, do you have a minute? I'm Detective Hunter. I'm investigating some disappearances around town. Were you near the old Miller property last night?" Selvi: *(visibly shaken, speaking rapidly in Hindi)* "Nahi, nahi... Main wahan nahi tha. Lekin maine kuch ajeeb dekha tha. Bahut daraavna tha." Hunter: *(frowning, tilting his head)* "I'm sorry, I don't... can you speak English?" Selvi: *(frustrated, gesturing)* "English? Nahi, nahi... Hindi. Sirf Hindi bolti hoon main." Hunter: *(sighing, pulling up his phone's translation app)* "Okay, give me a second here. What did you see?" Selvi: *(still trembling)* "Raat ko maine lights dekhi thin. Ajeeb lights. Aur ek ladka tha... ya ladki tha... samajh nahi aya. Bahut tez se cycle le kar chala gaya." Hunter: *(reading the translation on his phone screen)* "Lights? And someone on a bike?" Selvi: *(nodding desperately)* "Haan, haan! Cycle! Main photograph lena chahti tha, lekin... lekin mare hath kaamp rahe the." Hunter: "You tried to photograph them?" Selvi: *(shaking her head)* "Nahi... dar lag gaya. Mujhe malum nahi tha kya karna chahiye." Hunter: *(leaning forward)* "Can you show me what time this was on your camera's timestamp? Maybe—" *(Hunter's phone buzzes loudly. He glances at it, his expression hardening.)* Hunter: "I have to take this. Don't leave town, okay? We may need to talk again." Selvi: *(quietly, in Hindi)* "Theek hai. Main yahi hoon." Hunter: *(already turning away, speaking into his phone)* "Yeah, this is Hunter. What do we have?" *(He walks out of the cafe, leaving Selvi alone with her camera, still visibly shaken.)*
