En: I hope she can help us, but I've been told that even her store is running out of supplies," she replied, feeling the weight of responsibility on her shoulders.

Es: Pronto, Clara y Mateo se dirigieron a la pequeña tienda de Lucía, situada al borde de la ciudad.

Es: "Clara, Mateo, sé por qué están aquí," Lucía dijo, señalando las estanterías medio vacías.
En: "Clara, Mateo, I know why you're here," Lucía said, gesturing to the half-empty shelves.

Es: Tenemos menos de lo que necesitan."
