“Luna, Lili’s timid and shy, so you’ve got to treat her well. Don’t disappoint me.”

I wouldn’t disappoint him, but he had really disappointed me.

I wasn’t that kind of person, but I was really disappointed.

I said, “Okay.”

Lilac shrank back helplessly in her seat while Felix continuously comforted her in a low voice.
