Apologised at birth
The second he saw daylight, Picotin whispered "uh, sorry". The doctor smiled for three days. His mother explained that he could simply "be there", but he said "uh, sorry" once more. That's his trademark.
Walks while apologising to the leaves
When Picotin walks through the forest, he apologises to every leaf he steps on. "Sorry, sorry, pardon, sorry". The trip from home to school takes two hours. He's always late, but adored by the vegetation.
Runs the Bureau of Useless Apologies
Picotin opened an office in an oak hollow. Specialty: useless apologies. You want to apologise for something you didn't do? He has a form. He fills out two a day, by anticipation. It's free. He apologises even when you thank him.
