**VOICE SHEET - CAFE SCENE** **Selvi:** (murmuring to herself in Hindi, staring at her camera's viewfinder) यह कैसे हुआ? उस आदमी ने क्या देखा? मैंने सब कुछ रिकॉर्ड कर लिया... हे भगवान। *(Translation: How did this happen? What did that man see? I recorded everything... Oh god.*) **Hunter:** Excuse me, miss? I'm Detective Hunter. I understand you were at the riverbank this morning, around ten? I'd like to ask you a few questions about the incident. **Selvi:** (looks up, eyes wide and alarmed) वह आदमी... वह गायब हो गया! मैंने देखा! मेरे कैमरे में... लेकिन फिर... (She shakes her head, frustrated she can't be understood, and holds her camera out towards him) *(Translation: That man... he disappeared! I saw! In my camera... but then...)* **Hunter:** (Leans in, his expression one of pure confusion) I'm sorry, I don't... I don't understand. Do you speak English? The man. Did you see a man? **Selvi:** (Nods vigorously, pointing first at her eyes, then towards the direction of the river) हाँ, हाँ! देखा! (She makes a vanishing gesture with her hands, fingers splaying out) पफ्फ! जादू की तरह। कोई निशान नहीं। *(Translation: Yes, yes! Saw! Poof! Like magic. No trace.)* **Hunter:** (Pulls out a small notepad, looking intensely frustrated) Look, was he tall? Short? What was he wearing? Can you show me the pictures on your camera? **Selvi:** (Recognizes the word "camera." She fumbles with the device, her hands trembling slightly. She brings up the photos and points to a sequence of blurry shots of the riverbank, then points to an empty spot in the last photo, her voice dropping to a whisper) देखिए... और फिर... खाली। सब कुछ ठीक था, और फिर बस... खत्म। *(Translation: See... and then... empty. Everything was fine, and then just... over.)* **Hunter:** (Studies the photos, then her distraught face. He lets out a long, slow breath, the professional frustration giving way to a hint of sympathy.) I wish I knew what you were saying. I think you saw something important. I'm going to need to get a translator. **Hunter:** (His phone rings, a shrill, official sound. He answers it, his posture immediately straightening.) Hunter. ...Where? ...When? I'm on my way. Do not touch anything. (He ends the call and looks back at Selvi, his face all business again.) I have to go. Don't delete those photos. Don't talk to anyone. I will find someone who can talk to you. Stay right here. **(Hunter exits quickly, leaving a visibly shaken Selvi staring after him, clutching her camera like a lifeline.)**
