> that I explicitly told it

Try writing it in first person instead of second person or neutral.

A while ago someone had a similar complaint on here and shared some example lines, and that popped out at me immediately. However much structure we've wrapped these in, they're still text generators trained on all sorts of things, and if you think about a narrative where first and second person speech would be used, try to imagine context: In first person, it's most likely a description of something as it happens or someone planning what they will do. But in second person, especially command form, you open up to the possibility of commands being ignored, misunderstood, or actively rebelled against.

Whoever that was back then did some quick tests and found the pattern held, first person got it to follow far more reliably.
