Disappointment for a Reflector typically arrives as a creeping sense of letdown with people and situations. It often shows up when a Reflector has tried to push something forward, to initiate, decide, or manifest, only to meet resistance or find things don't unfold as expected. This disappointment can feel particularly acute because Reflectors are naturally attuned observers; they notice the gap between what they anticipated and what actually happened.
