disgusted - Story 29010 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The art fair was a cacophony of noise and color, but all he could focus on was the man's calf. A wretched, poorly executed copy of his "Mechanical Heart" tattoo. He wanted to wretch. He felt a throbbing ache in his temples, the beginning of a headache.

He squeezed past the crowds, seeking refuge. The booth felt too small, the air too thick. He saw it again on another person, and it worsened his condition.

He fled the scene, wanting to erase it all.
