**VOICE SHEET** **Selvi:** *(muttering to herself, tracing the edge of her camera with her thumb)* Kal raat... mujhe woh cheez dekhi... mujhe nahi pata kya tha, par... **Hunter:** *(approaching the table, badge clipped to his belt)* Excuse me. Detective Hunter, Alborn PD. Mind if I ask you a few questions? **Selvi:** *(looking up, startled)* Jee... sorry, aap... aap kuch bol rahe ho? Main nahi samajh pa rahi. **Hunter:** *(leaning in slightly, speaking clearly and slowly)* I need to talk to you about the incident last night. Did you see anything unusual near the apple orchard? **Selvi:** *(flinching, gripping her camera tightly)* Woh... woh awaazein aayi theen raat ko. Main sirf tasveerein le rahi thi... aur phir... ek ladki meri taraf daud rahi thi. Uska chehra... main abhi bhi nahi bhool pa rahi. *(voice trembling)* Main itni dar gayi thi ki camera giraa diya. **Hunter:** *(brows furrowing, clearly not understanding)* I'm sorry — I'm not following. Can you say that in English? **Selvi:** *(eyes widening, confused and increasingly anxious)* English? Main... main English nahi bol sakti. Hindi... mujhe Hindi hi aati hai. *(gesturing helplessly with both hands)* Koi... koi translator hai? **Hunter:** *(rubbing the back of his neck, glancing around the cafe)* Hindi? Okay. Uh — last night. A girl. Running. Did you see a girl running? **Selvi:** *(nodding rapidly, relief washing over her face)* Haan! Haan, ladki! Ladki daud rahi thi! *(she opens her camera and shows him the screen, pointing urgently)* Yeh dekho... maine yeh photo li. Par camera ka waqt theek nahi tha — doosri photo blur hai. **Hunter:** *(studying the photo, squinting)* That's... hard to make out. *(he tilts the camera)* Was there anyone with her? A man, maybe? **Selvi:** *(wincing, pressing her hand to her forehead)* Nahi... nahi, main theek se nahi dekh paayi. Bahut andhera tha. Bas ek awaaz thi — kisi cheez ke kheenchne ki tarah. *(shudders)* Main wapas hostel chali gayi uske baad. **Hunter:** *(nodding slowly, pulling out a small notebook)* Okay. Okay, that's helpful. Can you... *(he pauses, searching for words, then simply draws a rough shape of an apple on his notepad)* ...here? You were here? **Selvi:** *(studying the drawing, understanding dawning)* Oh! Haan haan — seb bagh. Wohin. *(she taps the drawing twice to confirm, then frowns and points to herself, then to her mouth, then waves her hands)* Par main... main aapko aur kuch bata nahi sakti. Yeh sab kehne ke liye... yeh kaafi nahi hai, na? **Hunter:** *(sighing, closing his notebook)* I know. This isn't enough. We'll need a translator — someone who speaks Hindi. I can get one down from the county office, but it might take a couple of hours. *(he notices her still trembling slightly and softens his tone)* Hey — are you okay? **Selvi:** *(not understanding the question but reading his face — she places her hand over her heart and nods slowly)* Main... theek hoon. Bas... thoda dar gayi. **Hunter:** *(standing, pulling out his phone as it buzzes)* I'll be right back. *(answering, turning away from the table)* Hunter. ...Yeah. ...When? ...I'm on my way. *(he hangs up and turns back to Selvi, apologetic)* I'm sorry — I've gotta run. But I'm gonna come back with someone who can talk to you properly. Don't leave town, alright? **Selvi:** *(only catching "sorry" — she offers a small, tentative smile and gives him a gentle thumbs-up)* **Hunter:** *(pausing, then with a slight returning nod)* ...Yeah. *(he heads for the door)* **Selvi:** *(watching him leave, then looking back down at her camera, whispering to herself)* Woh kya chaha tha? *(she zooms into the blurred photo on her screen, her smile fading)* ...Woh ladki kaun thi?
