Things that unexpectedly disappoint - A hototogisu that refuses to sing. The sudden crow of a cock when you are immersed in nighttime conversation. Men who swear they love you but send their poems late.

A translation of your book in which the translator has made insinuations about your honesty and accuracy. You cannot defend yourself against these accusations, because you are dead.

It's also disappointing when everyone insists on mentioning your name together with the name of someone you do not care about, simply because you wrote at the same court. People will also insist there was a bitter rivalry between you two, when you barely used to think of her at all.

Hearing her name with yours is disappointing even after you learn to expect it, and after a while, you begin to dislike her after all.
