Things a Whumpee Might Apologize For
• Dropping/breaking something (vase, plate, glass, cellphone, etc.)
• Failing to obey a simple order (get up, eat this, stay awake, etc.)
• Failing to carry out a serious mission (find this information, assassinate this person, don't break under interrogation, etc.)
• Getting sick (because of natural causes, or because they weren't properly taken care of), or injured (out of clumsiness, or because they were punished too harshly)
• Having things such as asthma, allergies, panic attacks, a stutter
• Not being able to work/carry out their 'purpose', being so scared they can hardly function
• Eating or drinking more than they are allowed, or more than they think they are allowed
• Crying, screaming, begging (during punishment or when they think they are about to be punished)
• Being a certain way in appearance (short/tall, attractive/unattractive, weak/strong, etc.)
• Something they did to someone a long time ago, back when they were still defiant (fighting the whumper, being mean to the –possibly reluctant– caretaker, pissing off someone who can rescue them now, etc.)
• Not knowing the things that the caretaker is trying to teach them (no punishments, no kneeling, no sleeping on the floor, etc.)
• Not knowing how to do things like read, write, cook, make a bed, buy groceries, use a phone, etc., because they have been locked away for too long, or nobody showed them how
• 'Forcing' the whumper to punish them, because the whumper pretends they don't want to do this but the whumpee gives them no other choice
• Being 'broken', no longer being 'fun' for the whumper to 'play with'
• Disappearing and not contacting their loved ones, when they had actually been kidnapped
• Having a nightmare and waking the caretaker or the whumper with their crying/sleep-talking
• Bodily fluids they can't control (tears, blood, urine, saliva, vomit, etc.)
• Thinking they are responsible for bad things that happened (people fighting over them, somebody's death/injury/misfortune, their refusing to sacrifice themselves for a cause, etc.)
• Not responding the way somebody wants them to
• Not remembering somebody from their past
• Eavesdropping, hearing something by accident, knowing something they're not supposed to know
