**Voice Sheet: Café Conversation** **Melanie:** *(flipping through photos on her camera, looking troubled)* "Das ist nicht möglich... Warum ist das passiert?" *(That’s not possible… Why did this happen?)* **Hunter:** *(approaching, standing beside her table)* "Excuse me, ma’am. Mind if I ask you a few questions?" **Melanie:** *(startled, looks up, confused)* "Entschuldigung… Ich verstehe nicht. Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" *(Sorry… I don’t understand. Do you speak German?)* **Hunter:** *(frustrated, rubbing his temple)* "Great. No German. Uh…" *(points to her camera, then gestures around vaguely)* "You take pictures here? In town?" **Melanie:** *(nods slowly, still uneasy)* "Ja, ich fotografiere die Landschaft. Aber gestern… etwas Seltsames." *(Yes, I photograph the landscape. But yesterday… something strange.)* **Hunter:** *(leaning in, trying to piece it together)* "Strange? What happened?" **Melanie:** *(shows him a photo on her camera—a blurry figure in the woods)* "Ich habe das gesehen. Und dann… war es weg." *(I saw this. And then… it was gone.)* **Hunter:** *(squints at the photo, tense)* "Where was this? Can you show me?" **Melanie:** *(points toward the edge of town)* "Dort, hinter den Bäumen. Es war… unheimlich." *(There, behind the trees. It was… eerie.)* **Hunter:** *(about to ask more when his phone rings, checks it—urgent call)* "Damn. I gotta go." *(pulls out a card, slides it to her)* "If you remember anything else—or find someone who speaks English—call me." **Melanie:** *(picks up the card, still confused)* "Ich verstehe nicht… aber danke." *(I don’t understand… but thanks.)* **Hunter:** *(already walking away, muttering)* "Yeah, this is gonna be a problem." *(exits the café, phone to ear)* **Melanie:** *(stares at the card, then back at her camera, whispering)* "Was ist hier los?" *(What’s going on here?)*
