**Voice Sheet – Scene: At the Café** **Setting:** A small, quiet café in Alborn, MN. Selvi sits by the window, scrolling through photos on her camera. Hunter enters, notices her, and approaches. --- **HUNTER:** (clearing his throat, polite but firm) Ma’am, excuse me. I’m Detective Hunter with the local PD. I’m looking into the recent disappearances around the apple orchards. I saw you out there yesterday evening with a camera. Did you happen to see anything unusual? **SELVI:** (looks up, startled. She speaks rapidly, her voice trembling) मुझे समझ नहीं आया... लेकिन हाँ, मैंने कुछ अजीब देखा। मैं वहाँ फोटो खींच रही थी, और एक आदमी पेड़ों के बीच गायब हो गया। (I don’t understand... but yes, I saw something strange. I was taking photos there, and a man disappeared among the trees.) **HUNTER:** (raises an eyebrow, clearly confused) I... I’m sorry, I don’t speak Hindi. Do you speak any English? At all? **SELVI:** (shakes her head, frustrated, then points at her camera, then toward the window) नहीं, अंग्रेज़ी नहीं... देखो, यह तस्वीर। यहाँ। (No, no English... look, this photo. Here.) *(She turns the camera around to show him the screen.)* **HUNTER:** (leans in, squinting at the screen. He sees a blurry, dark figure half-submerged in an odd, thick mist near a large apple tree) Is that... a person? That’s what you’re trying to show me? **SELVI:** (nods vigorously, eyes wide) हाँ, हाँ! वह आदमी... पेड़ से होकर गया। जैसे भूत हो। (Yes, yes! That man... went right through the tree. Like a ghost.) **HUNTER:** (frowns, muttering to himself) A ghost? No, that’s not possible. (He points at the photo) The mist here looks unnatural—too thick for that time of day. (He looks up at her) Can you show me where exactly this was taken? **SELVI:** (points out the window toward the far edge of the orchard) उधर। वहाँ। बड़े पेड़ के पास। (Over there. There. Near the big tree.) **HUNTER:** (nods, jotting notes in a small notebook) Okay. Got it. The big tree on the north edge of the orchard. That matches one of the last known locations of the missing woman. (He looks back at her) You’ve been a big help. Stay away from that area for now. *(His phone buzzes loudly. He pulls it out, answers.)* **HUNTER:** (into phone) Hunter here. ... What? A body? At the old mill? ... Confirmed. I’m on my way. (He hangs up, looks back at Selvi with a grim expression) I have to go. Thank you for your help. Please—stay safe. *(He gives a quick nod and strides out of the café, leaving Selvi alone. She looks out the window, back toward the orchard, and whispers to herself.)* **SELVI:** (softly, in Hindi) यह शहर... कुछ छुपा रहा है। (This town... is hiding something.) ---
