"It won't happen again," she seems determined, and she goes on to explain. "Not on accident. I won't … I won't fight anyone else until I know exactly what I can do. I'll train, and I'll -- I'll get better."

But, she can amend her behavior, make sure it doesn't happen again. She can try harder, do better. She can show that she means it through her actions. She can swear that much.
