Used are bad.

[With delight, though--]

New Edgard! What did you do? You will tell me.

gasp I never got a notif for this!

[muckspout]

[a little sheepish]

I thought he was threatening me, so I threw mud on him and he, uh, took it the wrong way and I didn't know what to do, so I just kicked him and ran.

[whispering]

I think I hurt his feelings?

unforgivable (you are forgiven)

[deceivingly]

[She laughs. But that's not helpful, and Doki always wants to be helpful, obviously, so--]

You should apologize.

[muckspout]

[The thought has literally never occurred to him.]

Do you think that will work? I will try and let you know. You are very smart.

[deceivingly]

Yes, I am.

[preen preen preen. But also--]

You must apologize to him and then you must tell me how he takes it. Make sure that you do.

[muckspout]

I apologized and he told me to apologize again. He also threatened me. I don’t think it worked.

[deceivingly]

Hmmm. What did he say in his threat?

[muckspout]

That he could cave in my chest with one step. He probably could.
[On the other hand..]

He didn’t though, before. He just stood there while I kicked him.

[deceivingly]

So: could, but won't. That is very good for you, New Edgard.

Now you should tell him that you really mean it and you are very sorry and you believe him, that he could cave in your chest with one step, but you are apologizing so that he won't do that to you.

[muckspout]

[sighing, very frustrated.]

Alright. I will write him another note. I will be very very humble too.

[deceivingly]

Good.

And tell me what happens next.

[muckspout]

He told me to come to his office. I don't want to do that. So, I asked him why and told him to be reasonable.

Doki, why is apologizing so hard?

[deceivingly]

Because it is terrible.

Where is his office?

[muckspout]

[Dawning realization.]

I don’t know! I couldn’t go if I wanted to which I do not.

[deceivingly]

There you are. You cannot go. So you will not go. The problem is over.

[muckspout]

[With enthusiasm]

Great. I won’t go. I’ll tell him. Thank you, Doki.
