Chilli: "You can't use promises to trick each other."
Bandit, Bluey: "Ohh!"
Chilli: "The whole point of promises is to build trust. If there's no trust, none of this is possible."
Chilli gestures widely, indicating all of their surroundings.
Bluey: "What, none of the whole world?"
Chilli: "None of it."
Chilli counts on her fingers.
Chilli: "No libraries, no roads, no power lines."
