" Don't expect me to be perfect. Despite all my lives, I'm still only human. I can't deliver perfection, and I'll only disappoint you. But I want you to know that you are the most important person to me. I'm trying to protect you.

Sometimes I screw things up. I may even tell a white lie every now and then. But you have to give me the benefit of the doubt. "
