disgusted - Story 29058 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dust motes danced in the single shaft of sunlight that penetrated the grimy window, illuminating the tarnished silver of the ring. Thomas had to force himself to breathe slowly. The environment felt… contaminated. He wanted to shield himself, to recoil from the sight. He thought about his grandmother, her gentle hands, her warm smile. This was wrong, everything about this was wrong. "How much for the ring?" he asked, his voice flat, devoid of emotion. He was going to wash his hands for a good half hour after this.
