Actually. No. That's not all. You've messed up before. I've forgiven you before. This time, it's a low chance I will. Not to say I won't, but it's unlikely. Even if I do, you will never gain my respect again.

Any time we have a disagreement, here's what you do:

"NO"

"ELABORATE"

"LISTEN TO ME"

"STOP GANGING UP ON ME"

Maybe you should stop, and listen for once.

Shut up and LISTEN to ME.

Don't apologize. Don't even try. You don't change, Sif. Only a few select times have you done it. You know what those changes were? Bad ones. Bad changes that strengthened Penance. You have to change for the better if you're to change. But when you apologize, you don't change, and when you're called out on it, Penance comes back. If you're going to apologize, then do the rest of it. There is no "straight forward" apology. You do the words ("I'm sorry") then you do the actions (changing what about you caused the problem). That's how it works. That's the only way it works, otherwise it's just words blabbering out of your mouth.

And now, that is all.
