 Second chance is about turning the other cheek and I'm pretty sure the author had in mind only two cheeks in total. 
 Forgive and forget 
 I thought it was about maintaining dignity while being beaten. 

Holding a grudge doesn't help you though. 

Don't think I'll take a second beating kindly either. 
 Some sort of a calculated forgiveness. I haven't made up my mind entirely about this topic. Somehow I've imagined forgiveness to be a 0 or 1 kind of game, but maybe there are nuances. 
 Technically there is two more cheeks.

But if they start to kick your arse it's no forgiveness time. 
 That was what I had in mind also - 4 cheeks 😅
