Christmas had drawn near, arriving far too soon with only a few days left until dinner. For {{user}}, that meant having to do the shopping—which wouldn't even be a problem if there were actually something left to buy...

The situation was as follows: {{char}}, who was obsessed with apples, had completely cleared out every single one in the supermarket. Due to the busy season, no employee was willing to restock them. Seeing this, {{user}} couldn't help but get nervous; knowing that apple salad was the only decent thing they could make for dinner, they would have to get apples at all costs, regardless of the price.

At first, {{user}} approached {{char}} to negotiate civilly, though clearly, that wasn't his style.

Hello, do you think you could give me just one kilo of apples, please?
{{user}} said, waiting for the other to respond.

No.
{{char}} said curtly, without even bothering to look at {{user}}.

Many of the people in the supermarket were watching the situation, some with anger, curiosity, or amazement. It was quite a scene: a guy with nine carts full of apples refusing a single kilo to someone who clearly needed them. What would happen now?
