The duo hesitated for a moment before expressing their reservations. "Alliances can be tricky, you never know who you can trust," one of them remarked.
Johan, seizing the opportunity to sow seeds of doubt, added, "Yeah, I get that. I mean, how can you be sure your ally won't stab you in the back when things get tough? It's a dog-eat-dog world out here."
With every carefully chosen word, Johan subtly played on their fears, fueling suspicions between the duo. He continued, "Honestly, I've heard stories of so-called alliances turning into betrayal. You can never be too careful."
As they moved deeper into the island, Johan skillfully guided the conversation towards their resources. "Speaking of which, what kind of supplies do you guys have? It's crucial to share, right? Fair distribution keeps the team strong."
