annoyed - Story 6589 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was at a karaoke bar, persuaded by his friends. He was having a good time, he was relaxed, the drinks were flowing. Then the next singer stepped up to the mic, and the pre-recorded music started. His song.

He felt the tension knot in his stomach. The singer, a middle-aged man with a beer belly, launched into the song. He fumbled the opening lines, and missed the key entirely.

He felt his cheeks flush. His friends turned to him, grinning. He just stared at the karaoke screen, feeling a slow burn of humiliation. He took another large gulp of his beer and tried to smile.
