act3_good_3_protector
b: It's my duty to warn you against real danger, but I kept barking at the mailman instead. Barking at shadows. Barking so much.

b: I'm sorry.
act3_good_3_respect
b: I was so caught up in trying to protect you, I forgot that I'm supposed to be your loyal guard-wolf, and you're supposed to be my master.

b: I'm sorry.
