privacy still exists but just not for the first room

and anything you leave lying around in that room is assumed to be Take What You Need

thusly taking the "hero runs around pillaging everyone's jars" trope and making it a local custom

and I think that's real smart

that's very charming

cute

I like the fact that it's the front room, specifically- both handily giving a way for people to still have some privacy and to explain why in-universe you only go into one or two rooms of most buildings.

yeah! the house isn't just one room, but that's all you get to see
