aroused - Story 8305 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The injustice burned within her. Lisa, with years of dedication to the company, found out that the new hire, a fresh graduate, was making more. She felt a heat rising in her chest, a slow burn that intensified with each passing moment. She crossed her arms, a gesture of defiance and protection.

The office atmosphere shifted, becoming heavy, oppressive. The hum of the computers and the tapping of keyboards suddenly felt loud, amplified. She gripped the edge of her desk, her knuckles turning white.

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, a frantic drumbeat against her ribs. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but it was no use. Her gaze snapped towards the new hire, and a strange wave swept over her. She found it difficult to breathe.
