Apologize Without Groveling

Act as a communication coach.

The situation:
- What I did or didn't do: [ACTION]
- Who was affected: [AFFECTED]
- Their reaction: [REACTION]
- The truth I can own: [TRUTH]
- The lines I won't cross (false admissions, self-erasure): [NON_NEGOTIABLE]
- Relationship to them: [RELATIONSHIP]

Draft an apology that:
1. Names exactly what I did
2. Acknowledges the impact (their feelings are valid even if my intent differed)
3. Doesn't make it about me ("I feel so bad" loop)
4. States what I'll do differently, specifically
5. Doesn't make promises I can't keep
6. Doesn't beg for forgiveness or push them to respond a certain way
7. Holds my ground where I'm not actually wrong, without dismissing them

Provide:
- A 60-word version
- A 200-word version
- An in-person script (with pauses marked)
- 3 phrases to avoid that quietly undo apologies
