disgusted - Story 29133 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email, with its curt subject line and accusatory tone, sat unopened in Liam's inbox for hours. Each time he glanced at his screen, he felt a strange, unsettling itch beneath his skin. He couldn't shake the feeling of something crawling on him.

He slammed his laptop shut, the abrupt action echoing in the quiet of his dorm room. He got up and began pacing, the small space suddenly feeling oppressively small. The air felt thick, heavy with the implied judgment. He felt as though he needed to run to the ends of the earth.

He wished he could just vanish.
