**Voice Sheet: Café Encounter in Alborn, MN** *(Selvi sits at a small café table, her camera resting in her hands. She scrolls through photos, her brow furrowed. Hunter approaches, his detective badge clipped to his belt.)* **Hunter:** *(gruffly)* Excuse me, ma’am. Mind if I ask you a few questions? **Selvi:** *(startled, looks up)* हाँ, कहिये। (Yes, go ahead.) **Hunter:** *(pauses, confused)* Uh… English? **Selvi:** *(shakes her head, speaking hurriedly in Hindi)* मुझे अंग्रेजी नहीं आती। मैं समझ नहीं पा रही हूँ। (I don’t know English. I don’t understand.) **Hunter:** *(frustrated, mutters to himself)* Great. Just great. *(tries again, slower and louder)* Do you… know… about… the festival? The Apple Festival? **Selvi:** *(nods, but looks troubled)* हाँ, फ़ेस्टिवल। मैंने कुछ अजीब चीज़ें देखीं। (Yes, the festival. I saw something strange.) **Hunter:** *(gestures to her camera)* Can I… see? *(mimes taking a photo)* **Selvi:** *(hesitates, then hands him the camera)* इसमें कुछ डरावनी तस्वीरें हैं। (There are some scary pictures in it.) **Hunter:** *(scrolls through the photos, his expression darkening)* This… this might be important. *(points to a particular photo)* Where… was this? **Selvi:** *(points toward the park, speaking quickly in Hindi)* पार्क में। वहां कुछ गलत हो रहा था। (In the park. Something wrong was happening there.) **Hunter:** *(nodding)* Park. Got it. *(his phone rings, he answers abruptly)* Hunter. *(pauses, listens)* Yeah, I’m on my way. *(He hands the camera back to Selvi, nodding curtly.)* **Hunter:** Thanks. I’ll… uh… be back. **Selvi:** *(watches him leave, muttering to herself in Hindi)* उसके पास बहुत समस्याएं हैं। (He has a lot of problems.) *(Hunter strides out of the café, leaving Selvi staring after him, her expression uneasy.)* *(End Scene.)*
