Selvi: "मैं... मैंने कुछ देखा। वहाँ बहुत अंधेरा था, और आवाज़ें... मैं बहुत डर गई थी।" (I... I saw something. It was very dark there, and the sounds... I was very frightened.) Hunter: "I'm sorry, I didn't catch a word of that. Hindi? I don't know any. You were near the apple grove? Did you see anyone lingering after the festival crowds cleared out?" Selvi: "नहीं, आप समझ नहीं रहे। मेरे कैमरे में... यह तस्वीर देखिए। वह शख्स वहाँ था, पर अब गायब है।" (No, you don't understand. In my camera... look at this photo. That person was there, but now he's gone.) Hunter: "You're pointing at the viewfinder. You took pictures? Let me see the display. ...Orchard fence, festival bunting, tree line. Wait. Is that a boot print near the drainage ditch? You're shaking. Take a breath." Selvi: "मैं सुरक्षित नहीं महसूस करती। यह शहर इतना सुंदर है, पर कुछ गलत है। कृपया, उन्हें ढूंढिए।" (I don't feel safe. This town is so beautiful, but something is wrong. Please, find them.) Hunter: "I don't know the words, but I read the tone. You're worried. I'm working the disappearances. I'll need that image. Can you scroll back? ...Good. Clear framing. You've got a steady hand." Selvi: "हाँ, यहाँ। मैंने लैंडस्केप शॉट्स लेने की कोशिश की, पर वह अचानक फ्रेम से बाहर चला गया। मैंने आवाज़ सुनी... फिर सन्नाटा।" (Yes, here. I tried to take landscape shots, but he suddenly moved out of frame. I heard a sound... then silence.) Hunter: "Noted. Keep the camera close. Don't wipe the memory card. I'll have dispatch send a deputy with a translation tablet this afternoon. We'll get a proper statement." Selvi: "धन्यवाद। मैं यहाँ पढ़ाई के लिए आई हूँ, पर अब... मैं बस अपने कमरे में लौटना चाहती हूँ। क्या मैं जा सकती हूँ?" (Thank you. I came here to study, but now... I just want to return to my room. May I go?) Hunter: "Stay put for now. Finish your coffee. I'll post a patrol car near the student housing tonight. You'll be fine." Selvi: "ठीक है। मैं इंतज़ार करूँगी। कृपया सावधान रहिए।" (Alright. I will wait. Please be careful.) Hunter: "*(Phone rings)* Hunter. ...What? The old mill? ...Copy. I'm moving. Look, I have to go. Lock your door, keep the SD card safe, and I'll circle back at 0800 tomorrow." Selvi: "समझ गई। अलविदा। मैं प्रार्थना करूँगी।" (Understood. Goodbye. I will pray.) Hunter: "Stay sharp. And... uh... dhanyavaad? I'll see you tomorrow."
