Skewed Priorities: Henry is more focused on earning money from the Tap-Out, than on the fact that thousands of people are dying.

Crazy Survivalist: Deconstructed. Kelton's family are preppers, so when an extreme drought causes the taps to run dry, they are prepared for it. However Kelton's father keeps bragging about how prepared they are and refuses to share his water with anyone else even though they have more than enough. This really angers his neighbours who eventually attack their house and steal most of their water.
