disgusted - Story 29060 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of rust and mildew assaulted his nostrils. Michael clenched his jaw, trying to keep his composure. The ring, sitting amidst a collection of tarnished trinkets, was a betrayal. He felt a revulsion, a coldness spread across his shoulders. He didn't want to touch anything. He wanted to rip the whole place apart. The shopkeeper’s oily smile, the crassness of the environment, made him want to scream. “How much?” he asked, his voice tight, trying to sound indifferent. He felt a desperate urge to get out of there.
