**Scene Setting:** The scene takes place at "The Cider Press," a quaint, wood-paneled cafe in the heart of Alborn, MN. The smell of cinnamon and baked apples fills the air. Marie is tucked into a corner booth, her fingers trembling slightly as she scrolls through the digital photos on her Canon DSLR. Detective Hunter walks in, his boots clunking on the hardwood, looking exhausted and focused. He spots her—a newcomer—and approaches with a stern, professional gait. **Voice Sheet:** Hunter: "Excuse me. You're the student staying at the B&B, right? I'm Detective Hunter. I'm looking into the disappearance of a local resident from last night. You were out near the orchard trails this evening—did you see anyone unusual?" Marie: "Oh! Monsieur... je... je ne comprends pas. Parlez-vous français?" Hunter: "I don't speak French. Look, I just need to know if you saw anything. Anything at all. Just nod or shake your head. Did you see someone heading toward the ravine?" Marie: (Looking shaken, gesturing wildly to her camera) "C'était terrifiant! J'ai vu quelque chose... une ombre, quelqu'un qui courait dans les bois. J'ai essayé de prendre une photo, mais c'est arrivé si vite! Je tremble encore." Hunter: (Frowning, leaning in) "Slow down. I have no idea what you're saying. Is this about the photos? Can you show me the photos?" Marie: (Tearfully) "S'il vous plaît, aidez-moi! C'était comme si la personne disparaissait dans le brouillard. Je crois que j'ai capturé quelque chose d'anormal!" Hunter: (Sighing, rubbing his temples) "Great. Just great. I'm talking to a wall here. Look, just... hold on to those pictures. Don't delete anything. Do you understand? 'Pictures.' Keep them." Marie: "Je ne comprends vraiment pas ce que vous voulez, mais je sens que c'est important. Pourquoi me regardez-vous comme ça?" Hunter: "I'm looking at you like this because we're speaking two different languages and I've got a missing person's case going cold." (Hunter’s phone buzzes loudly in his pocket. He snaps it open.) Hunter: "Hunter here. What? Where? I'm on my way." (To Marie) "Listen, I have to go. Stay here. Don't leave town. I'll come back with someone who actually speaks your language." Marie: "Attendez! Monsieur! Où allez-vous?"
