Level 0	Why did that person ask me to do this?	If I had not asked him to charge it, it might not have happened.
Level 1	This hurts...	I'd feel sick to my stomach.
Level 2	How unlucky I am to have been caught up in this situation. It's unfortunate.	I feel awkward.
Level 3	I feel slightly sad because I have failed again.	I am afraid that the person will stop working and will not help me charge it.
Level 4	I feel it is unlucky. It should run after properly being charged. I have mixed feelings of disappointment, resignation, and anger.	I feel sorry, guilty, and regretful to have made the request.
