"Não queremos problemas.En: "We don't want trouble.Pt: Só precisamos de alguns suprimentos," disse ele, a voz firme, mas com um tom de súplica.En: We just need some supplies," he said, his voice firm but with a tone of plea.Pt: O líder do outro grupo, um homem alto com barba grisalha, avaliou Rui por um longo instante antes de responder.En: The leader of the other group, a tall man with a grizzled beard, assessed Rui for a long moment before responding.Pt: "Nós também.En: "So do we.Pt: Mas este é o nosso território."En: But this is our territory."Pt: Teresa aproximou-se de Rui, sussurrando,

greater good.Pt: "Vamos trabalhar juntos," propôs Rui.En: "Let's work together," proposed Rui.Pt: "Podemos dividir o que encontrarmos."En: "We can split what we find."Pt: Houve um silêncio pesado, mas então o líder do outro grupo assentiu.En: There was a heavy silence, but then the leader of the other group nodded.Pt: "Tudo bem.En: "Alright.Pt: Mas só porque não queremos perder mais ninguém."En: But only because we don't want to lose anyone else."Pt: O acordo trouxe um alívio palpável.En: The agreement brought palpable relief.Pt: Enquanto exploravam outras partes do centro comercial, Rui e os

com um sorriso.En: "You did an excellent job," she said with a smile.Pt: Luís, por sua vez, acenou com a cabeça, um gesto de respeito.En: Luís, for his part, nodded, a gesture of respect.Pt: "Foste
