Won't pay the 3-yen bag fee even in an emergency. That consistency won people over, and somehow made them the leader. Every policy speech is only about the 3 yen.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” ── Mahatma Gandhi
HAMR (Anti-Bag-Fee Crusader) types are people of conviction. Conviction about what, you ask? About the 3 yen for a plastic bag. However the world changes, however locked in the store, your claim is consistent: "The bag should have been free."
At a glance, this has nothing to do with lockdown life. It genuinely doesn't. But in a group at its limit, the existence of "a person who keeps saying the same thing with the same intensity as yesterday" brings a stability beyond imagining. As long as your speech is audible, the world is still normal today too.
HAMR's real value is how that unwaveringness converts into gravitational pull. While everyone's positions swing day to day with hunger and dread, you alone are saying exactly what you said on day one. People long to follow the thing that doesn't change. On day 14, you find you've become the leader of store public opinion. Despite the fact that your platform is only ever about the 3 yen.
As leader, though, you're brought many issues — water distribution, the watch rotation, rebuilding the post-revolution oden economy. To all of them, you answer sincerely: "First, let me talk about the plastic bag." On the afternoon of day 14, your approval rating and your hydration run out simultaneously. It's said to be the first speech to end in dehydration since Castro (it isn't).
Today's patrol is peaceful. The day ends without a single quarrel.
