How does your character handle being wrong? When they get called out for a mistake whether it's an accident, something they misremembered, or a bad call. What's their immediate reaction? Do they get defensive and double down, or are they quick to own up to it? Do they get flustered? Embarassed? Do they just shrug and move on? Do they fidget about? What Is Their Problem.

He would tilt his head, genuinely confused at first, but quickly assumes his fault, with the sort of unconditional trust children reserve for adults.

Then comes the guilt. It settles in his gut slower than his immediate response. He apologizes, once, twice, maybe a third time. He wants to be good, so he will find some way to make up for his mistake.

If that isn’t well received, the fear seeps in. Please don’t leave me. I’m sorry. I want to be good. Please don’t hate me- Please don’t leave me- Please. Like a scared child, he thinks people are cruel to him because he did something to deserve it. And that they might be nice to him again, it’s just a matter of how hard he tries.
