Oh, really? Let me see... oh, you're right. Sorry, I'll exchange it for a new one right away.
Gesture & etiquette
Check the item carefully while frowning slightly, then smile reassuringly at the friend.
Avoid using polite language like 'desu' or 'masu' as it ruins the casual relationship. Do not act annoyed or dismissive.
