- Sit back and let those things going 'bump' in the night rampage free and unchecked.

- Let Dresden - or anyone else - try to protect us all without backup.

- Refuse to use a resource I have available to do my job. Yes, that means reading Dresden's reports too, even when they're hard to believe. Yes, that also means using Dresden as a backup.

- Regret doing what needed to be done.

- Regret making the personal-life choices that I have.

- Stop caring about my family. And what my family ... thinks. I know it would be easier if I did, I just can't. That doesn't mean I'll change to suit them.

- Do, consciously, harm to somebody I an certain is innocent.

- Stop caring about poking fun of Dresden.

- Walk away, uncaring, when someone is in need of help and I know and can do something - anything - about it.

- Forget the way Raith almost broke me and damned if I don't try to do SOMETHING about it! Making the same mistake twice? Not if I can help it.
