I am sorry. That is a thing you say in your word, yes? I could have hurt you.

[Could have killed him, truthfully. There's no avoiding that. Maketh rubs her face with a sigh. She's so tired.]

Apologies are--confusing. What does it matter if you mean it or not? They don't change anything.

[She is sorry, but doubts that means much to Sweets. Why would it?]

But you were fair to me and I was not.
