A tiny ray of hope--a boy of about 10 held open the door of the local
Seiyu as an elderly person approached, and didn't look disappointed when
said elderly person walked through without even apparently noticing how
come the door wasn't closed. He still stood patiently holding the door
open as a couple more people barged through without thanking him, so I
made a point of going through after them, and I thanked him. He looked
stunned, so of course it's possible I've gone and killed that impulse
towards random acts of kindness....
