Julian, Beatrice, and Eleanor are volunteers at a local community garden.
Julian is extremely respectful toward the head coordinator, executing every instruction without hesitation or doubt. However, when supervising the younger, temporary student helpers, Julian is highly domineering, frequently shouting at them and demanding absolute submission to his rules.
Beatrice and Eleanor are close friends who manage the greenhouse together. When the head coordinator unexpectedly orders everyone to stay late into the night to dig a new trench in the rain, Beatrice flatly refuses to comply. Seeing Beatrice's stand, Eleanor immediately joins her in refusing, and they both pack up their tools and leave the garden together.
