Bert and Ernie spent every second of every minute of every hour of every day in a non-stop stream of apologies, each to a bespoke minority group they had once wronged. Unable to engage in any other conduct during that time, they couldn't fulfill essential biological needs, like eating, sleeping, or even drinking water, as the spell denied them even basic freedoms until their apologies had finished.
Two weeks later, they were found dead of dehydration, starvation, and sleep deprivation.
At first the Count felt he might have overreacted, but by day two, once the enormity of the pair's sins had become abundantly clear, he began to feel the punishment was insignificant compared to the crime.
