 In a world where it's survival of the fittest, two people form an unlikely friendship. Person A is average in strength and speed. Forms friendship with Person B because Person B seems slower than Person A, so if the need comes, Person A can leave Person B behind for whoever is attacking. Person B is unclear how much strength they possess. They appear helpless and cute, the kind of person you'd want to protect. This is, of course, an act. Person B acts this way in the name of self-preservation, calling on others' protective instincts to have them fight on behalf of Person B.

 The red-eyed tree frog, when threatened, flashes its red eyes at predators to startle them. While the predator is startled, the frog uses this chance to run away.

 A sword that will grant great power to one who is worthy. In actuality, it's a myth that's been compounded with decades of confirmation bias. If someone succeeds and performs an amazing feat with the sword, they were worthy of the sword.
