# Voice Sheet — Cafe Encounter --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss? I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn Police Department. I was hoping you might have a moment to answer some questions." **Isabella:** *looks up, startled* "Oh... scusi, non parlo inglese." **Hunter:** *furrows brow* "I'm sorry, I don't— do you understand what I'm asking? Questions? Police?" *gestures to badge* **Isabella:** *shakes head, voice trembling* "Non capisco... mi dispiace. Io non so nulla. Per favore, io voglio solo andare a casa." *clutches camera closer to her chest* **Hunter:** "Okay, okay... take it easy. You seem upset. Are you alright?" *raises hands slowly* "You look like you've seen something. Here—" *points to his eyes, then to her* "You see something? With this?" *gestures to her camera* **Isabella:** *glances at her camera, eyes watering* "Sì... la macchina fotografica. Io ho visto... ho visto qualcuno. Alla notte. Vicino al fiume." *wipes at her eyes* "Era terribile. Non so chi era. Avevo paura." **Hunter:** *sighs, frustrated* "I have no idea what you're saying. Wait—" *pulls out phone, opens translation app* "Can you... speak... slowly? Into this?" **Isabella:** *leans forward, speaks shakily into the phone* "Ho visto un uomo. Ieri notte. Al fiume. Stava trascinando qualcosa. Qualcosa di pesante." **Hunter:** *watches the screen translate, expression hardens* "'I saw a man. Last night. At the river. He was dragging something. Something heavy.'" *meets her eyes* "You saw this? Last night? At the river?" **Isabella:** *nods vigorously* "Sì, sì! Fiume. Ieri notte. Ho fatto delle foto, ma... avevo troppa paura. Sono scappata." **Hunter:** *points to her camera* "Photos? You have photos? Here? In the camera?" **Isabella:** *hesitates, then nods* "Sì. Foto. Ma non so se sono buone. Era buio." **Hunter:** "Can I see? Please?" *extends hand slowly* **Isabella:** *hands over the camera reluctantly* "Ecco. Ma per favore, stia attento. È la mia vita." **Hunter:** *scrolls through the photos, expression tightens* "These could be helpful. I'm going to need to hold onto this for now—" *phone buzzes* **Hunter:** *answers* "Hunter. ...What? When? ...I'm on my way." *ends call, stands abruptly* "I have to go. Stay in town. Don't leave Alborn. I'll find someone who speaks Italian to talk to you properly." *hesitates* "And... thank you. Grazie." **Isabella:** *nods, voice small* "Prego. Per favore, trovi la verità." **Hunter:** *pauses, looking at her with an unreadable expression, then hurries out of the cafe* --- *End of Voice Sheet*
