When my batteries are drained,
don't expect me to talk, expect me to fall silent.

When my batteries are drained,
don't expect enthusiasm, don't expect my presence.

When my batteries are drained,
expect me to go away for a bit, to a safe, soft, silent place with no stress.

When my batteries are drained,
expect me to stay far away from stress... even if that includes you!

When my batteries are drained,
trust me to do all I can to reload and expect them to reload slowly.

When my batteries are drained,
trust me to come back when I have reloaded.

Anything else will just drain them even more.
